Integration of coupling Dirac structures

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Coupling Dirac structures are Dirac structures defined on the total space of a fibration, generalizing hamiltonian fibrations from symplectic geometry, where one replaces the symplectic structure on the fibers by a Poisson structure. We study the associated Poisson gauge theory, in order to describe the presymplectic groupoid integrating coupling Dirac structures. We find the obstructions to integrability and we give explicit geometric descriptions of the integration.


This paper studies the integration of coupling Dirac structures. Let us recall that a Dirac structure on a manifold \(M\) is a foliation of \(M\) by presymplectic leaves. To each Dirac structure is naturally associated a Lie algebroid. Not all Lie algebroids can be integrated to Lie groupoids. In this work, the authors concentrate on coupling Dirac structures, that is those defined on the total space of a fibration. The associated gauge theory is investigated and the obstructions to integrability are obtained.
