Abstract

In this paper we study geometric Poisson brackets and we show that, if M=(G⋉Rn)/GM=(G⋉Rn)/G endowed with an affine geometry (in the Klein sense), and if GG is a classical Lie group, then the geometric Poisson bracket for parametrized curves is a trivial extension of the one for unparametrized curves, except for the case G=GL(n,R). This trivial extension does not exist in other nonaffine cases (projective, conformal, etc).
