A log symplectic manifold is a Poisson manifold which is generically nondegenerate. We develop two methods for constructing the symplectic groupoids of log symplectic manifolds. The first is a blow-up construction, corresponding to the notion of an elementary modification of a Lie algebroid along a subalgebroid. The se…
Log-symplectic structures are Poisson structures π on X2n for which ⋀nπ vanishes transversally. By viewing them as symplectic forms in a Lie algebroid, the b-tangent bundle, we use symplectic techniques to obtain existence results for log-symplectic structures on total spaces of fibration-like maps…

A generalized complex structure is called stable if its defining anticanonical section vanishes transversally, on a codimension-two submanifold. Alternatively, it is a zero elliptic residue symplectic structure in the elliptic tangent bundle associated to this submanifold. We develop Gompf-Thurston symplectic technique…
We call a singularity of a presymplectic form ω removable in its graph if its graph extends to a smooth Dirac structure over the singularity. An example for this is the symplectic form of a magnetic monopole. A criterion for the removability of singularities is given in terms of regularizing functions for pure spinor…
