Abstract

We prove a reduction theorem for the tangent bundle of a Poisson manifold (M,π)(M, \pi) endowed with a pre-Hamiltonian action of a Poisson Lie group (G,πG)(G, \pi_G). In the special case of a Hamiltonian action of a Lie group, we are able to compare our reduction to the classical Marsden-Ratiu reduction of MM. If the manifold MM is symplectic and simply connected, the reduced tangent bundle is integrable and its integral symplectic groupoid is the Marsden-Weinstein reduction of the pair groupoid M×MˉM \times \bar{M}.
