Reduction of symplectic groupoids and quotients of quasi-Poisson manifolds (Q6185766)

This paper studies the integrability of quasi-Poisson manifolds, by using the methods of reducing symplectic groupoids. A basic problem in Poisson geometry is to construct interesting examples of symplectic groupoids. In this work, the aim of the author is to describe the symplectic groupoid which integrates Poisson manifolds obtained as quotients of Lie groupoid actions on quasi Poisson manifolds (q-Poisson manifolds). Roughly speaking, a q-Poisson manifold is a manifold with a suitable action and a bilinear bracket on the space of smooth functions. The author starts with recalling Lie groupoids, Lie algebroids, symplectic groupoids, closed IM 2-forms, Poisson geometry. Then, he extends the work on integrability of Poisson manifolds obtained by reduction, in the context of q-Poisson manifolds. Finally, he presents the main results of the paper and also describes double symplectic groupoids associated with gauge Poisson groupoids.
