Abstract
Given a symplectic manifold , we may define an operad structure on the the spaces of the Lagrangian submanifolds of via symplectic reduction. If is also a symplectic groupoid, then its multiplication space is an associative product in this operad. Following this idea, we provide a deformation theory for symplectic groupoids analog to the deformation theory of algebras. It turns out that the semi-classical part of Kontsevich's deformation of is a deformation of the trivial symplectic groupoid structure of .
