Review text

These notes focus on basic aspects of Poisson geometry. \N\NFirst, the author reviews the historical origins of Poisson structures and recalls the two fundamental papers [\textit{A. Lichnerowicz}, J. Differ. Geom. 12, 253--300 (1977; Zbl 0405.53024)] and [\textit{A. Weinstein}, J. Differ. Geom. 18, 523--557 (1983; Zbl 0524.58011)], which are pioneering works in the modern theory of Poisson geometry.\N\NThen, the author defines all the relevant objects of interest, with examples and exercises. Several classes of examples are then studied such as quotients by symmetries and the linear Poisson structure on the dual of a Lie algebra. More generally, Lie algebroids and Poisson-Lie groups are reviewed. \N\NMoreover, the basic results and all the classical problems are explained with a link to recent perspectives and developments.\N\NFinally, the authors discuss symplectic and Dirac structures.\N\NThe study of Poisson structures is important in many diverse areas (as geometric mechanics, quantum groups, noncommutative geometry, etc.).\N\NThis work is dedicated to Weinstein and includes all important references.\N\NFor the entire collection see [Zbl 1569.53002].
