%0 Journal Article %T Poisson cohomology of scalar multidimensional Dubrovin-Novikov brackets %A Guido Carlet %A Matteo Casati %A Sergey Shadrin %J Physics %D 2015 %I arXiv %X We compute the Poisson cohomology of a scalar Poisson bracket of Dubrovin-Novikov type with $D$ independent variables. We find that the second and third cohomology groups are generically non-vanishing in $D>1$. Hence, in contrast with the $D=1$ case, the deformation theory in the multivariable case is non-trivial. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1512.05744v1
