Quasi-Poisson structures as Dirac structures

چکیده
We show that quasi-Poisson structures can be identified with Dirac structures in suitable Courant algebroids. This provides a geometric way to construct Lie algebroids associated with quasi-Poisson spaces.

Dirac Structures , Moment Maps and Quasi – Poisson Manifolds Henrique
We extend the correspondence between Poisson maps and actions of symplectic groupoids, which generalizes the one between momentum maps and hamiltonian actions, to the realm of Dirac geometry. As an example, we show how hamiltonian quasi-Poisson manifolds fit into this framework by constructing an “inversion” procedure relating quasi-Poisson bivectors to twisted Dirac structures. Dedicated to Al...

متن کاملDirac Geometry, Quasi–Poisson Actions and D/G–Valued Moment Maps
We study Dirac structures associated with Manin pairs (d, g) and give a Dirac geometric approach to Hamiltonian spaces with D/G-valued moment maps, originally introduced by Alekseev and Kosmann-Schwarzbach [3] in terms of quasi-Poisson structures. We explain how these two distinct frameworks are related to each other, proving that they lead to isomorphic categories of Hamiltonian spaces. We str...

متن کاملGauge equivalence of Dirac structures and symplectic groupoids
We study gauge transformations of Dirac structures and the relationship between gauge and Morita equivalences of Poisson manifolds. We describe how the symplectic structure of a symplectic groupoid is affected by a gauge transformation of the Poisson structure on its identity section, and prove that gauge-equivalent integrable Poisson structures are Morita equivalent. As an example, we study ce...
