The question studied here is the behavior of the Poisson bracket underC^0-perturbations. In this purpose, we introduce the notion ofpseudo-representation and prove that for a normed Lie algebra, it converges toa representation. An unexpected consequence of this result is that for manynon-closed symplectic manifolds (including cotangent bundles), the group ofHamiltonian diffeomorphisms (with no assumptions on supports) has no C^{-1}bi-invariant metric. Our methods also provide a new proof of Gromov-EliashbergTheorem, it is to say that the group of symplectic diffeomorphisms isC^0-closed in the group of all diffeomorphisms.Comment: 16 pages. Main result extended to a large class of Lie algebra
