Abstract

Given a real, twisted Dirac structure LL on a smooth manifold MM, and a closed embedded submanifold NMN\subseteq M of codimension >1>1, we characterise when LL lifts to a smooth, twisted Dirac structure on the real projective blowup of MM along NN. This holds precisely when NN is either a submanifold transverse to LL (with no further restrictions) or a submanifold invariant for LL, for which the Lie algebras transverse to NN have all of the same constant height k0k\geq 0. We also classify Lie algebras satisfying this Lie-theoretic property. We recover a theorem of Polishchuk, which establishes that a Poisson structure lifts to a Poisson structure on the blowup of a submanifold exactly when the submanifold is invariant and the transverse Lie algebras have constant height k=0k=0.
