The dual space of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra has this canonical Poisson bracket. For a basis , linear coordinates give . The Lie algebra's Jacobi identity is precisely the coordinate Jacobi condition for a Poisson bivector. This construction is intrinsic on the dual space; writing the same formula in an arbitrary manifold chart does not by itself provide a compatible global atlas.
