Variational brackets in geometry of jets

Abstract:
Variational version of the Schouten/Poisson bracket will be discussed in the framework of the geometry of jet spaces.  In particular, we will describe the relation of the bracket to the calculus of local variational differential operators by Voronov, Tyutin, and Shakhverdiev.
