Novel algebraic structures from the polysymplectic form in field theory

The polysymplectic $(n+1)$-form is introduced as an analogue of the symplectic form for the De Donder-Weyl polymomentum Hamiltonian formulation of field theory. The corresponding Poisson brackets on differential forms are constructed. The analogues of the Poisson algebra are shown to be generalized (non-commutative and higher-order) Gerstenhaber algebras defined in the text.
