Abstract: We consider the local deformation problem of coisotropic submanifolds inside Poisson manifolds. To this end the groupoid of coisotropic sections (with respect to some tubular neighbourhood) is introduced. Although the geometric content of this groupoid is evident, it is usually a very intricate object. We provide a description of the groupoid of coisotropic sections in terms of a differential graded Poisson algebra, called the BFV-complex. This description is achived by constructing a groupoid from the BFV-complex and a surjective morphism from this groupoid to the groupoid of coisotropic sections. The kernel of this morphism can be easily chracterized. As a corollary we obtain an isomorphism between the moduli space of coisotropic sections and the moduli space of geometric Maurer-Cartan elements of the BFV-complex.

Review text

This paper deals with the local deformation of coisotropic submanifolds inside Poisson manifolds. Let us recall that the coisotropic submanifolds of symplectic manifolds are natural submanifolds containing Lagrangians submanifolds and that the notion of coisotropic submanifolds can be directly generalized to Poisson structures. In this work, the author introduces the appropriate equivalence relation on the set of coisotropic submanifolds. Then, he recalls the basic facts about the construction of the BFV-complex. He considers a groupoid structure on the set of the geometric Maurer-Cartan elements of this complex. The author introduces a surjective morphism from the groupoid of the BFV-complex to the groupoid of coisotropic sections, and characterizes the kernel of this morphism. Finally, an isomorphism between the moduli of coisotropic sections and the groupoid of the BFV-complex is obtained. This work gives a new approach to the problem of the local deformation of coisotropic submanifolds. Moreover, it enables a better understanding of the geometry of the BFV-complex.
