Deformations of coisotropic submanifolds in Jacobi manifolds (Q1720137)

This paper constructs an \(L_\infty\)-algebra attached to a coisotropic submanifold in the Jacobi case. First, the authors associate with the Jacobi structures several algebraic and geometric structures. They also attach a \(L_\infty\))-algebra to any closed coisotropic submanifold in a Jacobi manifold. The deformation problem of coisotropic submanifolds is them studied. The authors discuss in particular the link between smooth coisotropic deformations and formal deformations.
