The paper constructs a Saito basis for a specific class of divisors and applies it to logarithmic Poisson geometry.

Study flat connections with logarithmic singularities on complex plane curves.

In this paper, we introduce the notions of logarithmic Poisson structure and logarithmic principal Poisson structure; we prove that the latter induces a representation by logarithmic derivation of the module of logarithmic Kahler differentials; therefore, it induces a differential complex from which we derive the notio…

The paper establishes a Poisson Poincaré-Dulac theorem for Poisson-flat connections.

New Poisson bracket connects to logarithmic manifolds.

Intro to Poisson geometry, focusing on basics and recent tools.

Symmetric Poisson structures linked to geodesic foliations and Jordan algebras.

The paper normalizes Poisson saturation of coregular submanifolds.

We shall introduce the notion of $C^\infty$ logarithmic symplectic structures on a differentiable manifold which is an analog of the one of logarithmic symplectic structures in the holomorphic category. We show that the generalized complex structure induced by a $C^\infty$ logarithmic symplectic structure has unobstruc…

Symplectic and Poisson structures proved for information geometry's Frobenius manifold.

The article investigates conditions for isomorphism of singular tangent bundles.

Study submanifolds in Koszul-Vinberg geometry, a blend of Poisson and pseudo-Riemannian structures.

Lectures on symplectic and Poisson geometry, quantization, and quantum field theory.

We pursue the study of holomorphic Cartan geometry with singularities. We introduce the notion of logarithmic Cartan geometry on a complex manifold, with polar part supported on a normal crossing divisor. In particular, we show that the push-forward of a Cartan geometry constructed using a finite Galois ramified coveri…

Develops reduction method for strong Dirac maps.

We present proofs of classical results in Poisson geometry using techniques from Dirac geometry. This article is based on mini-courses at the Poisson summer school in Geneva, June 2016, and at the workshop "Quantum Groups and Gravity" at the University of Waterloo, April 2016.

The paper integrates quasi-Poisson manifolds into multiplicative D-valued moment maps.

Unified framework for exceptional and generalised geometry, and Poisson-Lie duality.

We discuss several rigidity and flexibility phenomena in the context of Poisson geometry.

These notes discuss various aspect of the ``representation theory'' of Poisson manifolds, with focus on Morita equivalence and Picard groups. We give a brief introduction to Poisson geometry (including Dirac and twisted Poisson structures) and algebraic Morita theory before presenting the geometric Morita theory of Poi…

Twelve numerical methods for Poisson geometry concepts.

Local model for Poisson manifolds around submanifolds.

We introduce linear holonomy on Poisson manifolds. The linear holonomy of a Poisson structure generalizes the linearized holonomy on a regular symplectic foliation. However, for singular Poisson structures the linear holonomy is defined for the lifts of tangential path to the cotangent bundle (cotangent paths). The lin…

We revisit our earlier work on the AKSZ formulation of topological sigma model on generalized complex manifolds, or Hitchin model. We show that the target space geometry geometry implied by the BV master equations is Poisson--quasi--Nijenhuis geometry recently introduced and studied by Stiénon and Xu (in the untwisted …

We introduce a new kind of groupoid--a pseudo étale groupoid, which provides many interesting examples of noncommutative Poisson algebras as defined by Block, Getzler, and Xu. Following the idea that symplectic and Poisson geometries are the semiclassical limits of the corresponding quantum geometries, we quantize thes…

Defines a new Poisson structure for generalized Sasakian spaces.

New Poisson structures on hypersurface algebroids discovered.

Hans Duistermaat was scheduled to lecture in the 2010 School on Poisson Geometry at IMPA, but passed away suddenly. This is a record of a talk I gave at the 2010 Conference on Poisson Geometry (the week after the School) to share some of my memories of him and to give a brief assessment of his impact on the subject.

We previously extended the Marsden-Ratiu reduction theorem in Poisson geometry by means of graded geometry (see Part I of Arxiv:1009.0948) . In this note we provide the background material about graded geometry necessary for the proof. Further, we provide an alternative algebraic proof.

We study noncommutative generalizations of such notions of the classical symplectic geometry as degenerate Poisson structure, Poisson submanifold and quotient manifold, symplectic foliation and symplectic leaf for associative Poisson algebras. We consider these structures for the case of the endomorphism algebra of a v…

We introduce a weak concept of Morita equivalence, in the birational context, for Poisson modules on complex normal Poisson projective varieties. We show that Poisson modules, on projective varieties with mild singularities, are either rationally Morita equivalent to a flat partial holomorphic sheaf, or a sheaf with a …

Study of Poisson homeomorphisms and rigidity of coisotropic submanifolds.

We prove that the Riemannian geometry of almost Kähler manifolds can be expressed in terms of the Poisson algebra of smooth functions on the manifold. Subsequently, Kähler-Poisson algebras are introduced, and it is shown that a corresponding purely algebraic theory of geometry and curvature can be developed. As an illu…

Extends AKSZ to poly-symplectic structures for more complex spaces.

New framework for logarithmically divergent integrals on manifolds with corners.

Develops data subsampling techniques for Poisson regression models.

This work is based on the talk delivered at Poisson 2008. We review the recent advances in Generalized Kahler geometry while stressing the use of Poisson and symplectic geometry. The derivation of the generalized Kahler potential is sketched and the relevant global issues are discussed.

The seemingly disjoint problems of count and mixture modeling are united under the negative binomial (NB) process. A gamma process is employed to model the rate measure of a Poisson process, whose normalization provides a random probability measure for mixture modeling and whose marginalization leads to an NB process f…

A novel gravity theory based on Poisson Generalized Geometry is investigated. A gravity theory on a Poisson manifold equipped with a Riemannian metric is constructed from a contravariant version of the Levi-Civita connection, which is based on the Lie algebroid of a Poisson manifold. Then, we show that in Poisson Gener…

We first extend the notion of connection in the context of Courant algebroids to obtain a new characterization of generalized Kaehler geometry. We then establish a new notion of isomorphism between holomorphic Poisson manifolds, which is non-holomorphic in nature. Finally we show an equivalence between certain configur…

Study non-degenerate singular points of Poisson-Nijenhuis structures.

We explain how to translate several recent results in derived algebraic geometry to derived differential geometry. These concern shifted Poisson structures on NQ-manifolds, Lie groupoids, smooth stacks and derived generalisations, and include existence and classification of various deformation quantisations.

This thesis studies normal forms for Poisson structures around symplectic leaves using several techniques: geometric, formal and analytic ones. One of the main results (Theorem 2) is a normal form theorem in Poisson geometry, which is the Poisson-geometric version of the Local Reeb Stability (from foliation theory) and…

Random walks on mapping class groups identified with geodesic laminations.

Formula connects $G_2$-structure geometry to Poisson equation.

We show under weak hypotheses that $\partial X$, the Roller boundary of a finite dimensional CAT(0) cube complex $X$ is the Furstenberg-Poisson boundary of a sufficiently nice random walk on an acting group $Γ$. In particular, we show that if $Γ$ admits a nonelementary proper action on $X$, and $μ$ is a generating prob…
