Abstract

We consider the Poisson reduced space (TQ)/K(T^*Q)/K with respect to a cotangent lifted action. It is assumed that KK is a compact Lie group which acts by isometries on the Riemannian manifold QQ and that the action on QQ is of single isotropy type. Realizing (TQ)/K(T^*Q)/K as a Weinstein space we determine the induced Poisson structure and its symplectic leaves. We thus extend the Weinstein construction for principal fiber bundles to the case of surjective Riemannian submersions QQ/KQ\to Q/K.
