Abstract: An anologue of the Calabi invariant for Poisson manifolds is considered. For any Poisson manifold P, the Poisson bracket on Cinfty(P) extends to a Lie bracket on the space Omega1(P) of all differential one-forms, under which the space Z1(P) of closed one-forms and the space B1(P) of exact one-forms are Lie subalgebras. These Lie algebras are related by the exact sequence: 0lon eals lon C^{infty}(P)stackrel{d}{lon} Z^{1}(P)stackrel{f}{lon} H^{1}(P, eals)lon 0, where H1(P,eals) is considered as a trivial Lie algebra, and f is the map sending each closed one-form to its cohomology class. The goal of the present paper is to lift this exact sequence to the group level for compact Poisson manifolds under certain integrability condition. In particular, we will give a geometric description of a Lie group integrating the underlying Poisson algebra Cinfty(P).


For any Poisson manifold \(P\), the Poisson bracket on \(C^\infty(P)\) extends to a Lie bracket on the space \(\Omega^1 (P)\) of all differential one-forms, of which the space \(Z^1(P)\) of closed one-forms and the space \(B^1(P)\) of exact one-forms are Lie subalgebras. These Lie algebras are related by the exact sequence \[ 0\to \mathbb{R}\to C^\infty(P) @>d>> Z^1(P) @>f>> H^1 (P,\mathbb{R}) \to 0, \] where \(H^1(P,\mathbb{R})\) is considered as a trivial Lie algebra, and \(f\) is the map sending each closed one-form to its cohomology class. The goal of the present paper is to lift this exact sequence to the group level for compact Poisson manifolds under a certain integrability condition. In particular, we give a geometric description of a Lie group integrating the underlying Poisson algebra \(C^\infty (P)\). The group homomorphism obtained by lifting \(f\) is called the flux homomorphism for symplectic groupoids, which can be considered as a generalization, in the context of Poisson manifolds, of the usual flux homomorphism of the symplectomorphism groups of symplectic manifolds introduced by Calabi.
