We want to associate to an n-vector on a manifold of dimension n a cohomol- ogy which generalizes the Poisson cohomology of a 2-dimensional Poisson manifold. Two possibilities are given here. One of them, the Nambu-Poisson cohomology, seems to be the most pertinent. We study these two cohomologies locally, in the case of germs of n-vectors on Kn (K = R or C). 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 53D17. 1. Introduction. A way to study a geometrical object is to associate to it a coho- mology. In this paper, we focus on the n-vectors on an n-dimensional manifold M . If n = 2, the 2-vectors on M are the Poisson structures thus, we can consider the Poisson cohomology. In dimension 2, this cohomology has three spaces. The first one, H 0 , is the space of functions whose Hamiltonian vector field is zero (Casimir functions). The second one, H 1, is the quotient of the space of infinitesimal automor- phisms (or Poisson vector fields) by the subspace of Hamiltonian vector fields. The last one, H 2 , describes the deformations of the Poisson structure. In a previous paper (see [9]) we have computed the cohomology of germs at 0 of Poisson structures on K2 (K = R or C). In order to generalize this cohomology to the n-dimensional case (n ≥ 3), we can follow the same reasoning. These spaces are not necessarily of finite dimension and it is not always easy to describe them precisely. Recently, a team of Spanish researchers has defined a cohomology, called Nambu- Poisson cohomology, for the Nambu-Poisson structures (see [6]). In this paper, we adapt their construction to our particular case. We will see that
