Coupling tensors and Poisson geometry near a single symplectic leaf (Q2782575)

In the connection theory, a contravariant analog of the Sternberg coupling procedure is studied for Poisson structures on fiber bundles, called coupling tensors. The main result of the paper under review is to provide a geometric criterion for a neighborhood equivalence of two coupling tensors near a common closed symplectic leaf in Theorem 3.1 and Theorem 3.2. The method is adapted from Moser's and Weinstein's homotopy method. The criterion is given instrinsically by Poisson connection, its curvature, and gives a Poisson analog of relative Darboux theorem due to Weinstein. As an application of the Poisson neighborhood theorem, the author shows that there is a well-defined linearized Poisson structure over a single symplectic leaf in Theorem 5.1 and Proposition 5.1. The linearized Poisson structure is completely determined by the transitive Lie algebroid in Theorem 5.2. The coupling tensors associated with transitive Lie algebroids are discussed in section 4.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0980.00030].
