Noncommutative Poisson brackets on Loday algebras and related deformation quantization

Given a Lie algebra, there uniquely exists a Poisson algebra that is called a Lie–Poisson algebra over the Lie algebra. We will prove that given a Loday/Leibniz algebra there exists uniquely a noncommutative Poisson algebra over the Loday algebra. The noncommutative Poisson algebras are called the Loday–Poisson algebras. In the super/graded cases, the Loday–Poisson bracket is regarded as a noncommutative version of classical (linear) Schouten–Nijenhuis bracket. It will be shown that the Loday–Poisson algebras form a special subclass of Aguiar’s dual pre-Poisson algebras. We also study a problem of deformation quantization over the Loday–Poisson algebra. It will be shown that the polynomial Loday–Poisson algebra is deformation quantizable and that the associated quantum algebra is Loday’s associative dialgebra.
