A cohomology theory associated to a holomorphic Poisson structure is the hypercohomology of a bi-complex where one of the two operators is the classical ∂-operator, while the other operator is the adjoint action of the Poisson bivector with respect to the Schouten-Nijenhuis bracket. The first page of the associated spectral sequence is the Dolbeault cohomology with coefficients in the sheaf of germs of holomorphic polyvector fields. In this note, the authors investigate the conditions for which this spectral sequence degenerates on the first page when the underlying complex manifolds are nilmanifolds with an abelian complex structure. For a particular class of holomorphic Poisson structures, this result leads to a Hodge-type decomposition of the holomorphic Poisson cohomology. We provide examples when the nilmanifolds are 2-step.Since the center c is J-invariant and it contains g k−1 ,So, the filtration (18) splits into two. One is for type (1, 0)-vectorsAnother is for type (0, 1)-vectorsLemma 1 [4, Lemma 4] Suppose that the complex structure J is abelian. Then • [[g (1,0) , g (1,0) ]] = 0, and [[g (0,1) , g (0,1) ]] = 0.For the quotient space, we will adopt the notationChoose a vector space isomorphism so that the short exact sequence of Lie algebras 0 → g ℓ,(1,0) J → g ℓ−1,(1,0) J → g ℓ−1,(1,0) J /g ℓ,(1,0) J → 0 is turned into a direct sum of vector spaces. g ℓ−1,(1,0) J ∼ = t (1,0) ℓ ⊕ g ℓ,(1,0) J
