Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate shifted (+1)(+1) Poisson structures in context of differential geometry. The relevant notion is shifted (+1)(+1) Poisson structures on differentiable stacks. More precisely, we develop the notion of Morita equivalence of quasi-Poisson groupoids. Thus isomorphism classes of (+1)(+1) Poisson stack correspond to Morita equivalence classes of quasi-Poisson groupoids. In the process, we carry out the following programs of independent interests: (1) We introduce a Z\mathbb Z-graded Lie 2-algebra of polyvector fields on a given Lie groupoid and prove that its homotopy equivalence class is invariant under Morita equivalence of Lie groupoids, thus can be considered as polyvector fields on the corresponding differentiable stack X{\mathfrak X}. It turns out that shifted (+1)(+1) Poisson structures on X{\mathfrak X} correspond exactly to elements of the Maurer-Cartan moduli set of the corresponding dgla. (2) We introduce the notion of tangent complex TXT_{\mathfrak X} and cotangent complex LXL_{\mathfrak X} of a differentiable stack X{\mathfrak X} in terms of any Lie groupoid ΓM\Gamma{\rightrightarrows} M representing X{\mathfrak X}. They correspond to homotopy class of 2-term homotopy Γ\Gamma-modules A[1]TMA[1]\rightarrow TM and TMA[1]T^\vee M\rightarrow A^\vee[-1], respectively. We prove that a (+1)(+1)-shifted Poisson structure on a differentiable stack X{\mathfrak X}, defines a morphism LX[1]TX{L_{{\mathfrak X}}}[1]\to {T_{{\mathfrak X}}}.
