Coisotropic reduction in Multisymplectic Geometry

Symplectic Geometry 2024-12-13 v2

Abstract

In this paper we study coisotropic reduction in multisymplectic geometry. On the one hand, we give an interpretation of Hamiltonian multivector fields as Lagrangian submanifolds and prove that kk-coisotropic submanifolds induce a Lie subalgebra in the algebra of Hamiltonian (k1)(k-1)-forms, similar to how coisotropic submanifolds in symplectic geometry induce a Lie subalgebra under the Poisson bracket. On the other hand, we extend the classical result of symplectic geometry of projection of Lagrangian submanifolds in coisotropic reduction to bundles of forms, which naturally carry a multisymplectic structure.
