Abstract

For a Hamiltonian, proper and free action of a Lie group GG on a Dirac manifold (M,L)(M,L), with a regular moment map μ:Mg\mu:M\to \mathfrak{g}^*, the manifolds M/GM/G, μ1(0)\mu^{-1}(0) and μ1(0)/G\mu^{-1}(0)/G all have natural induced Dirac structures. If (M,L)(M,L) is an integrable Dirac structure, we show that M/GM/G is always integrable, but μ1(0)\mu^{-1}(0) and μ1(0)/G\mu^{-1}(0)/G may fail to be integrable, and we describe the obstructions to their integrability.
