Abstract

We reformulate notions from the theory of quasi-Poisson g-manifolds in terms of graded Poisson geometry and graded Poisson-Lie groups and prove that quasi-Poisson g-manifolds integrate to quasi-Hamiltonian g-groupoids. We then interpret this result within the theory of Dirac morphisms and multiplicative Manin pairs, to connect our work with more traditional approaches, and also to put it into a wider context suggesting possible generalizations.
