A manifold \(M\) equipped with a 2-vector field \(\pi\) such that the Schouten bracket \([\pi,\pi]=0\) identically vanishes is called a Poisson manifold. The Poisson bracket of a Poisson manifold is defined by \(\{f,g\}= \pi(df,dg)\). We speak of an exact Poisson manifold if \(-\pi= [Z,\pi]\) holds for a certain vector field \(Z\) on \(M\). The author investigates topological properties of the characteristic foliation associated with exact Poisson structures. Several examples are constructed on closed 3-manifolds, in particular with the Hirsch characteristic foliations. The paper involves a very clear exposition of all preparatory concepts. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0988.00069].
