%0 Journal Article %T Deformations of semisimple Poisson pencils of hydrodynamic type are unobstructed %A Guido Carlet %A Hessel Posthuma %A Sergey Shadrin %J Physics %D 2015 %I arXiv %X We prove that the bihamiltonian cohomology of a semisimple pencil of Poisson brackets of hydrodynamic type vanishes for almost all degrees. This implies the existence of a full dispersive deformation of a semisimple bihamiltonian structure of hydrodynamic type starting from any infinitesimal deformation. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1501.04295v2
