Given a Hamiltonian action of a proper symplectic groupoid (for instance, a Hamiltonian action of a compact Lie group), we show that the transverse momentum map admits a natural constant rank stratification. To this end, we construct a refinement of the canonical stratification associated to the Lie groupoid action (the orbit type stratification, in the case of a Hamiltonian Lie group action) that seems not to have appeared before, even in the literature on Hamiltonian Lie group actions. This refinement turns out to be compatible with the Poisson geometry of the Hamiltonian action: it is a Poisson stratification of the orbit space, each stratum of which is a regular Poisson manifold that admits a natural proper symplectic groupoid integrating it. The main tools in our proofs (which we believe could be of independent interest) are a version of the Marle–Guillemin–Sternberg normal form theorem for Hamiltonian actions of proper symplectic groupoids and a notion of equivalence between Hamiltonian actions of symplectic groupoids, closely related to Morita equivalence between symplectic groupoids.

We produce a large class of generalized cluster structures on the Drinfeld double of $\operatorname {\mathrm {GL}}_n$ that are compatible with Poisson brackets given by Belavin–Drinfeld classification. The resulting construction is compatible with the previous results on cluster structures on $\operatorname {\mathrm {GL}}_n$ .

We introduce the process of symplectic reduction along a submanifold as a uniform approach to taking quotients in symplectic geometry. This construction holds in the categories of smooth manifolds, complex analytic spaces, and complex algebraic varieties, and has an interpretation in terms of derived stacks in shifted symplectic geometry. It also encompasses Marsden–Weinstein–Meyer reduction, Mikami–Weinstein reduction, the pre-images of Poisson transversals under moment maps, symplectic cutting, symplectic implosion, and the Ginzburg–Kazhdan construction of Moore–Tachikawa varieties in topological quantum field theory. A key feature of our construction is a concrete and systematic association of a Hamiltonian $G$-space $\mathfrak {M}_{G, S}$ to each pair $(G,S)$, where $G$ is any Lie group and $S\subseteq \mathrm {Lie}(G)^{*}$ is any submanifold satisfying certain non-degeneracy conditions. The spaces $\mathfrak {M}_{G, S}$ satisfy a universal property for symplectic reduction which generalizes that of the universal imploded cross-section. Although these Hamiltonian $G$-spaces are explicit and natural from a Lie-theoretic perspective, some of them appear to be new.

This paper studies a class of singular fibrations, called self-crossing boundary fibrations, which play an important role in semitoric and generalized complex geometry. These singular fibrations can be conveniently described using the language of Lie algebroids. We will show how these fibrations arise from (nonfree) torus actions, and how to use them to construct and better understand self-crossing stable generalized complex four-manifolds. We moreover show that these fibrations are compatible with taking connected sums, and use this to prove a singularity trade result between two types of singularities occurring in these types of fibrations (a so-called nodal trade).

Using crossed homomorphisms, we show that the category of weak representations (respectively admissible representations) of Lie–Rinehart algebras (respectively Leibniz pairs) is a left module category over the monoidal category of representations of Lie algebras. In particular, the corresponding bifunctor of monoidal categories is established to give new weak representations (respectively admissible representations) of Lie–Rinehart algebras (respectively Leibniz pairs). This generalises and unifies various existing constructions of representations of many Lie algebras by using this new bifunctor. We construct some crossed homomorphisms in different situations and use our actions of monoidal categories to recover some known constructions of representations of various Lie algebras and to obtain new representations for generalised Witt algebras and their Lie subalgebras. The cohomology theory of crossed homomorphisms between Lie algebras is introduced and used to study linear deformations of crossed homomorphisms.

The general position hypothesis needs strengthening.

This paper classifies Poisson structures with the reduced simple normal crossing divisor on a product of Fano varieties of Picard number 1. The characterization of even-dimensional projective spaces from the viewpoint of Poisson structures is given by Lima and Pereira. In this paper, we generalize the characterization of projective spaces to any dimension.

We study coisotropic submanifolds of b-symplectic manifolds. We prove that b-coisotropic submanifolds (those transverse to the degeneracy locus) determine the b-symplectic structure in a neighborhood, and provide a normal form theorem. This extends Gotay’s theorem in symplectic geometry. Further, we introduce strong b-coisotropic submanifolds and show that their coisotropic quotient, which locally is always smooth, inherits a reduced b-symplectic structure.

Given a manifold $M$ with a submanifold $N$, the deformation space ${\mathcal{D}}(M,N)$ is a manifold with a submersion to $\mathbb{R}$ whose zero fiber is the normal bundle $\unicode[STIX]{x1D708}(M,N)$, and all other fibers are equal to $M$. This article uses deformation spaces to study the local behavior of various geometric structures associated with singular foliations, with $N$ a submanifold transverse to the foliation. New examples include $L_{\infty }$-algebroids, Courant algebroids, and Lie bialgebroids. In each case, we obtain a normal form theorem around $N$, in terms of a model structure over $\unicode[STIX]{x1D708}(M,N)$.

We consider compact Kählerian manifolds $X$ of even dimension 4 or more, endowed with a log-symplectic holomorphic Poisson structure $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F1}$ which is sufficiently general, in a precise linear sense, with respect to its (normal-crossing) degeneracy divisor $D(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F1})$. We prove that $(X,\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F1})$ has unobstructed deformations, that the tangent space to its deformation space can be identified in terms of the mixed Hodge structure on $H^{2}$ of the open symplectic manifold $X\setminus D(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F1})$, and in fact coincides with this $H^{2}$ provided the Hodge number $h_{X}^{2,0}=0$, and finally that the degeneracy locus $D(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F1})$ deforms locally trivially under deformations of $(X,\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F1})$.

In this paper, we first discuss the relation between $\text{VB}$-Courant algebroids and $\text{E}$-Courant algebroids, and we construct some examples of $\text{E}$-Courant algebroids. Then we introduce the notion of a generalized complex structure on an $\text{E}$-Courant algebroid, unifying the usual generalized complex structures on even-dimensional manifolds and generalized contact structures on odd-dimensional manifolds. Moreover, we study generalized complex structures on an omni-Lie algebroid in detail. In particular, we show that generalized complex structures on an omni-Lie algebra $\text{gl}\left( V \right)\oplus V$ correspond to complex Lie algebra structures on $V$.

In this paper, we relate Lie algebroids to Costello’s version of derived geometry. For instance, we show that each Lie algebroid – and the natural generalization to dg Lie algebroids – provides an (essentially unique) $L_{\infty }$ space. More precisely, we construct a faithful functor from the category of Lie algebroids to the category of $L_{\infty }$ spaces. Then we show that for each Lie algebroid $L$, there is a fully faithful functor from the category of representations up to homotopy of $L$ to the category of vector bundles over the associated $L_{\infty }$ space. Indeed, this functor sends the adjoint complex of $L$ to the tangent bundle of the $L_{\infty }$ space. Finally, we show that a shifted symplectic structure on a dg Lie algebroid produces a shifted symplectic structure on the associated $L_{\infty }$ space.

A log symplectic manifold is a complex manifold equipped with a complex symplectic form that has simple poles on a hypersurface. The possible singularities of such a hypersurface are heavily constrained. We introduce the notion of an elliptic point of a log symplectic structure, which is a singular point at which a natural transversality condition involving the modular vector field is satisfied, and we prove a local normal form for such points that involves the simple elliptic surface singularities $\widetilde{E}_{6},\widetilde{E}_{7}$ and $\widetilde{E}_{8}$. Our main application is to the classification of Poisson brackets on Fano fourfolds. For example, we show that Feigin and Odesskii’s Poisson structures of type $q_{5,1}$ are the only log symplectic structures on projective four-space whose singular points are all elliptic.

A surface $\sum$ endowed with a Poisson tensor $\pi$ is known to admit a canonical integration, $G\left( \pi \right)$, which is a 4-dimensional manifold with a (symplectic) Lie groupoid structure. In this short note we show that if $\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }$ is not an area form on the 2-sphere, then $G\left( \pi \right)$ is diffeomorphic to the cotangent bundle $T*\sum$. This extends results by the author and by Bonechi, Ciccoli, Staffolani, and Tarlini.

We consider the problem of deforming simultaneously a pair of given structures. We show that such deformations are governed by an $L_{\infty }$-algebra, which we construct explicitly. Our machinery is based on Voronov’s derived bracket construction. In this paper we consider only geometric applications, including deformations of coisotropic submanifolds in Poisson manifolds, of twisted Poisson structures, and of complex structures within generalized complex geometry. These applications cannot be, to our knowledge, obtained by other methods such as operad theory.

We consider the problem of constructing Poisson brackets on smooth manifolds $M$ with prescribed Casimir functions. If $M$ is of even dimension, we achieve our construction by considering a suitable almost symplectic structure on $M$, while, in the case where $M$ is of odd dimension, our objective is achieved using a convenient almost cosymplectic structure. Several examples and applications are presented.

We give a local normal form for Dirac structures. As a consequence, we show that the dimensions of the pre-symplectic leaves of a Dirac manifold have the same parity. We also show that, given a point m of a Dirac manifold M, there is a well-defined transverse Poisson structure to the pre-symplectic leaf P through m. Finally, we describe the neighborhood of a pre-symplectic leaf in terms of geometric data. This description agrees with that given by Vorobjev for the Poisson case.

We consider singular exact Poisson structures on an oriented manifold of dimension 4. Using normal forms for divergence-free vector fields on ${\mathbb R}^3$ and for 1-parameter deformations of functions on ${\mathbb R}^3$ we produce normal forms for two classes of such Poisson structures around the singular point.
