Abstract: A 2n-dimensional Poisson manifold (M,Pi) is said to be bm-symplectic if it is symplectic on the complement of a hypersurface Z and has a simple Darboux canonical form at points of Z which we will describe below. In this paper we will discuss a desingularization procedure which, for m even, converts Pi into a family of symplectic forms omegaepsilon having the property that omegaepsilon is equal to the bm-symplectic form dual to Pi outside an epsilon-neighborhood of Z and, in addition, converges to this form as epsilon tends to zero in a sense that will be made precise in the theorem below. We will then use this construction to show that a number of somewhat mysterious properties of bm-manifolds can be more clearly understood by viewing them as limits of analogous properties of the omegaepsilon's. We will also prove versions of these results for m odd; however, in the odd case the family omegaepsilon has to be replaced by a family of folded symplectic forms.
