AbstractA quasi-Poisson manifold is a G-manifold equipped with an invariant bivector field whose Schouten bracket is the trivector field generated by the invariant element in associated to an invariant inner product. We introduce the concept of the fusion of such manifolds, and we relate the quasi-Poisson manifolds to the previously introduced quasi-Hamiltonian manifolds with group-valued moment maps.

Abstract This note is devoted to the study of the homology class of a compact Poisson transversal in a Poisson manifold. For specific classes of Poisson structures, such as unimodular Poisson structures and Poisson manifolds with closed leaves, we prove that all their compact Poisson transversals represent nontrivial homology classes, generalizing the symplectic case. We discuss several examples in which this property does not hold, as well as a weaker version of this property, which holds for log-symplectic structures. Finally, we extend our results to Dirac geometry.

The version of Marsden–Ratiu Poisson reduction theorem for Nambu–Poisson manifolds by a regular foliation have been studied by Ibáñez et al. In this paper, we show that this reduction procedure can be extended to the singular case. Under a suitable notion of Hamiltonian flow on the reduced space, we show that a set of Hamiltonians on a Nambu–Poisson manifold can also be reduced.

Superimposed D-branes have matrix-valued functions as their transverse coordinates, since the latter take values in the Lie algebra of the gauge group inside the stack of coincident branes. This leads to considering a classical dynamics where the multiplication law for coordinates and/or momenta, being given by matrix multiplication, is non-Abelian. Quantization further introduces noncommutativity as a deformation in powers of Planck's constant ℏ. Given an arbitrary simple Lie algebra [Formula: see text] and an arbitrary Poisson manifold ℳ, both finite-dimensional, we define a corresponding C⋆-algebra that can be regarded as a non-Abelian Poisson manifold. The latter provides a natural framework for a matrix-valued classical dynamics.

Abstract We introduce the canonical outer derivation (or vector field) on a Poisson manifold. This is a Poisson vector field well-defined modulo hamiltonian vector fields.We study this outer derivation by geometric and sheaf-theoretic methods, mostly for holomorphic Poisson manifolds.

An analogue of the Hofer metric [Formula: see text] on the Hamiltonian group [Formula: see text] of a Poisson manifold [Formula: see text] can be defined, but there is the problem of its nondegeneracy. First, we observe that [Formula: see text] is a genuine metric on [Formula: see text], when the union of all proper leaves of the corresponding symplectic foliation is dense. Next, we deal with the important class of integrable Poisson manifolds. Recall that a Poisson manifold is called integrable, if it can be realized as the space of units of a symplectic groupoid. Our main result states that [Formula: see text] is a Hofer type metric for every Poisson manifold, which admits a Hausdorff integration.
