4 Abstracts Abstract... For an arbitrary manifold, we consider supermanifolds ΠT and ΠT, where Π is the parity reversion functor. The space ΠT possesses canonical odd Schouten bracket and space ΠT posseses canonical de Rham differential d. An arbitrary even function P on ΠT such that [P,P] = 0 induces a homotopy Poisson bracket on, a differential, d P on ΠT, and higher Koszul brackets on ΠT. (If P is fiberwise quadratic, then we arrive at standard structures of Poisson geometry.) Using the language of Q-manifolds and in particular of Lie algebroids, we study the interplay between canonical structures and structures depending on P. Then using just recently invented theory of thick morphisms we construct a non-linear map between the L algebra of functions on ΠT with higher Koszul brackets and the Lie algebra of functions on ΠT with the canonical odd Schouten bracket.
