Abstract
For a compact symplectic manifoldM of dimension 2n, Brylinski proved that the canonical homology groupH can k (M) is isomorphic to the de Rham cohomology groupH 2n-k(M), and the first spectral sequence {E r(M)} degenerates atE 1(M). In this paper, we show that these isomorphisms do not exist for an arbitrary Poisson manifold. More precisely, we exhibit an example of a five-dimensional compact Poisson manifoldM 5 for whichH can1 (M 5) is not isomorphic toH 4(M 5), andE 1(M 5) is not isomorphic toE 2(M 5).
