A subalgebra of the Lie algebra g is a linear subspace h of g such that [x, y] ∈ h for all x, y ∈ h.
An ideal of the Lie algebra g is a subspace h of g such that [a, y] ∈ h for all a ∈ g and y ∈ h.
The ideals are precisely the kernels of homomorphisms, and the fundamental theorem on homomorphisms is valid for Lie algebras.

 Poisson algebra
A Poisson algebra is an associative algebra together with a Lie bracket, satisfying Leibniz' law.
More precisely, a Poisson algebra is a vector space over a field K equipped with two bilinear products, and [,] such that forms an associative K-algebra and [,], called the Poisson bracket, forms a Lie algebra, and for any three elements x,y and z, [x,yz]=[x,y]z+y[x,z] (i.e.

While a direct quantization of the reduced symplectic manifolds and concordant induced representations of Poisson algebras may be possible in certain examples, a systematic approach intending to mimic the classical reduction/induction procedure in some quantum fashion ought to start from a quantization of the `unconstrained' system.
Obviously, the operator algebras $\A$ and $\B$ are to be seen as the quantizations of the Poisson algebras $A$ and $\cin(P)$, respectively (barring boundedness considerations).
Firstly, the quantization of the Lie-Poisson algebra ${\rm pol}_{{\Bbb R}}[\g^*]$ is the operator algebra ${\cal U}(\g)_{\rm sa}$, which consists of the symmetric elements of the universal enveloping algebra of $\g$ (hence the quantization of the complexified Poisson algebra ${\rm pol}_{{\Bbb C}}[\g^*]$ is ${\cal U}(\g)$ itself).

We quantize the algebra of fields generated by the polynomials by defining a deformation of this algebra which is Abelian, associative and distributive.
In fact, in the usual Poisson formulation, the Jacobi identity is the infinitesimal form of Poisson theorem which states that the bracket of two integrals of motion is also an integral of motion.
We denote by $A$ the algebra of $C^\infty$-functions on $M$ and by ${\cal P}(f,g)$ the Poisson bracket of $f,g\in A$.

 6.2 Loop quantum gravity
To assure that the quantum Heisenberg equations have the correct classical limit, the algebra of the elementary operator has to be isomorphic to the Poisson algebra of the elementary observables.
For the reasons illustrated in section 5, the algebra of elementary observables we choose for the quantization is the loop algebra, defined in section 6.1.
Thus, the kinematic of the quantum theory is defined by a unitary representation of the loop algebra.

We show that, up to a similarity transformation, there are other deformations of the Poisson bracket in addition to the Moyal commutator (one at even and one at odd n, n is the number of the generators of the Grassman algebra) which are not reduced to the Moyal commutator by a similarity transformation.

 Deformation Quantization
Deformation quantization is a quantization scheme which is applied mainly for systems of classical mechanics, where one concentrates on the algebra of observables: classically the observables are the smooth complex-valued functions on the phase space which is modeled by a symplectic or Poisson manifold.
They are an associative and commutative algebra with respect to the pointwise product and from the symplectic or Poisson structure on the manifold they inherit a Poisson bracket which makes the classical observables into a Poisson algebra.
While the structure of the observable algebra is quite well understood a physically reasonable concept for the states seemed to be missing.

 Super Algebras (Was: Poisson groups/actions)
I guess the term Super algebra is kind of a choice dependent because I am thinking of a super algebra if the space is broken into even and odd part and only this matters to the structure.
By the way, > this winds up implying that the Poisson bracket is *always* degenerate > at the identity of G. I guess it should be clear from the form of the filed P but just by hand waving is it related to the fact that at the identity h=e we have ghg^(-1)=geg^(-1)=e.
However I hope that some how one can get the corresponding classical space which should be the same as the space corresponding to the classical group but may be trajectory of points will be somehow different, I don't know but if something like this happens then one can use it to visualize the differences.

 Huebschmann Abstract   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The space R contains spaces of representations where the values of those generators of the fundamental group which correspond to the boundary circles are constrained to lie in fixed conjugacy classes and, on these representation spaces, the Poisson algebra restricts to stratified symplectic Poisson algebras constructed elsewhere earlier.
When G is the unitary group, these smaller spaces arise as moduli spaces of semistable holomorphic parabolic vector bundles with flags and weights determined by the chosen conjugacy classes.
In the general case, the Poisson algebra on R gives a description of the variation of the stratified symplectic Poisson structures on the smaller representation spaces as the chosen conjugacy classes move.

 on gerbes and boundary states
In case somebody is interested, which I seriously doubt, the Moyal algebra (and in particular the Hamiltonian algebra), has a central extension, at least on the torus: [T_m, T_n] = sin(mxn) T_m+n + k.m delta_m+n where m, n are momenta in Z^2, mxn is the cross product, and k is a constant vector.
This distinction between inner and outer derivations of the non-commutatiev algebra and how the inner ones describe 'inner' gauge groups, while the outer ones are related to the space-time symmetry is very neat.

AMCA: Lie-Rinehart algebras, descent, and quantization by Johannes Huebschmann
The quantization problem for a Poisson algebra is related to that of constructing suitable representations of a Lie-Rinehart algebra associated with the Poisson algebra in a natural fashion, as explained in our paper entitled ``Poisson cohomology and quantization'', J. für die reine und angewandte Mathematik 408 (1990), 57-113.
The old question whether reduction after quantization coincides with quantization after reduction thus appears as a descent problem for (i) suitable Lie-Rinehart algebras defined in terms of Poisson structures and (ii) for the requisite additional data including the notions of prequantum module and polarization.

 Egilsson: Linear Hamiltonian circle actions that generate minimal Hilbert bases
The orbit space of a linear Hamiltonian circle action and the reduced orbit space, at zero, are examples of singular Poisson spaces.
The orbit space inherits the Poisson algebra of functions invariant under the linear circle action and the reduced orbit space inherits the Poisson algebra obtained by restricting the invariant functions to the reduced space.
A consequence of this relation is also that the number of generators needed to generate the algebra of invariant functions is minimal.

(Note that the Poisson algebra axioms imply that {H,.} is a derivation of the algebra of functions on M, which is the same thing as a vector field.) If we're lucky this vector field will generate a flow on M - namely, time evolution!
Well, the first thing to make sure you understand is that the algebra of real-valued functions on a group is already a Hopf algebra.
Deformation quantization is all about replacing the ordinary pointwise product of functions on a Poisson manifold by a new noncommutative product, where the "amount of noncommutativity" is measured by the deformation parameter hbar.
