Lie algebroid foliations and \Script E1(M)-Dirac structures

Abstract: We prove some general results about the relation between the 1-cocycles of an arbitrary Lie algebroid

A

over

M

and the leaves of the Lie algebroid foliation on

M

associated with

A

. Using these results, we show that a

{c a l E}^{1} (M)

-Dirac structure

L

induces on every leaf

F

of its characteristic foliation a

{c a l E}^{1} (F)

-Dirac structure

L_{F}

, which comes from a precontact structure or from a locally conformal presymplectic structure on

F

. In addition, we prove that a Dirac structure

i l d e L

on

M i m e s R

can be obtained from

L

and we discuss the relation between the leaves of the characteristic foliations of

L

and

i l d e L

.
