In this paper, we show that a parallel differential form [Formula: see text] of even degree on a Riemannian manifold allows to define a natural differential both on [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], defined via the Frölicher–Nijenhuis bracket. For instance, on a Kähler manifold, these operators are the complex differential and the Dolbeault differential, respectively. We investigate this construction when taking the differential with respect to the canonical parallel [Formula: see text]-form on a [Formula: see text]- and [Formula: see text]-manifold, respectively. We calculate the cohomology groups of [Formula: see text] and give a partial description of the cohomology of [Formula: see text].

First, we present a classical approach to the general connections on arbitrary fibered manifolds. Then we compare this approach with the use of the Frölicher–Nijenhuis bracket by Mangiarotti and Modugno [Graded Lie algebras and connections on a fibered space, J. Math. Pures Appl. 63 (1984) 111–120]. Finally, we demonstrate that the latter viewpoint is very efficient in the theory of torsions of connections on Weil bundles.

We introduce and study the notion of abelian groups graded Schouten–Nijenhuis bracket on almost commutative algebras and show that any Poisson bracket on such algebras is defined by a graded bivector as in the classical Poisson manifolds. As a particular example, we introduce and study symplectic structures on almost commutative algebras. Our result is a generalization of the ℤ2-graded (super)-Poisson structures.
