We study deformations of the standard embedding of the Lie algebra Vect(S-1
) of smooth vector fields on the circle, into the Lie algebra of functions
on the cotangent bundle T*S-1 (with respect to the Poisson bracket), We con
sider two analogous but different problems: (a) formal deformations of the
standard embedding of Vect(S') into the Lie algebra of functions on (T) ove
r dot* S-1 := T*S-1\S-1 which are Laurent polynomials on fibers, and (b) po
lynomial deformations of the Vect(S') subalgebra inside the Lie algebra of
formal Laurent series on (T) over dot S-1.
