We consider the problem of constructing Poisson brackets on smooth manifolds $M$ with prescribed Casimir functions. If $M$ is of even dimension, we achieve our construction by considering a suitable almost symplectic structure on $M$,…

In this paper we first describe the geometry of the Newton polyhedra of polynomials invariant under certain linear Hamiltonian circle actions. From the geometry of the polyhedra, various Poisson structures on the orbit spaces of the actions…

Given an oriented surface S with base point * on the boundary, we introduce for all N>0, a canonical quasi-Poisson bracket on the space of N-dimensional linear representations of \pi_1(S,*). Our bracket extends the well-known Poisson…

It is proved that on nilmanifolds with abelian complex structure, there exists a canonically constructed non-trivial holomorphic Poisson structure. We identify the necessary and sufficient condition for its associated cohomology to be…

On a foliated manifold equipped with an action of a compact Lie group $G$, we study a class of almost-coupling Poisson and Dirac structures, in the context of deformation theory and the method of averaging.

In the spirit of Sullivan's paper "Cycles for the Dynamical Study of Foliated Manifolds and Complex Manifolds", existence of a contact structure on a closed manifold $M$ is shown to be equivalent to existence of an ample $S^1$-invariant…

Crawley-Boevey introduced the definition of a noncommutative Poisson structure on an associative algebra A that extends the notion of the usual Poisson bracket. Let V be a symplectic manifold and G be a finite group of symplectimorphisms of…

We prove that every closed oriented 3-manifold admits a hyperbolic cone-manifold structure with cone-angle arbitrarily close to 2pi.

We present a convexity-type result concerning simple quasi-states on closed manifolds. As a corollary, an inequality emerges which relates the Poisson bracket and the measure of non-additivity of a simple quasi-state on a closed surface…

We reformulate the Poisson structure discovered by Fock and Rosly on moduli spaces of flat connections over marked surfaces in the framework of Poisson structures defined by Lie algebra actions and quasitriangular $r$-matrices, and we show…

Poisson manifolds may be regarded as the infinitesimal form of symplectic groupoids. Twisted Poisson manifolds considered by Severa and Weinstein [math.SG/0107133] are a natural generalization of the former which also arises in string…

We study a modification of Poisson geometry by a closed 3-form. Just as for ordinary Poisson structures, these "twisted" Poisson structures are conveniently described as Dirac structures in suitable Courant algebroids. The additive group of…

We study Beauville's completely integrable system and its variant from a viewpoint of multi-Hamiltonian structures. We also relate our result to the previously known Poisson structures on the Mumford system and the even Mumford system.

Based on ideas due to Scovel-Weinstein, I present a general framework for constructing fluid moment closures of the Vlasov-Poisson system that exactly preserve that system's Hamiltonian structure. Notably, the technique applies in any space…

We analyze the differential relation corresponding to integrability of almost complex structures, reformulated as a directed immersion relation by Demailly and Gaussier. Combining results of Clemente [3], we show that applying h-principle…

In generalization of the classical Atiyah-Bott Poisson brackets on the moduli spaces of surfaces we define quasi-Poisson brackets on the moduli spaces of quasi-surfaces.

This note is about a little extension of Nash's embedding theorem in the case of complete manifolds.

In this short survey, we describe our approach for constructing hierarchies of Poisson brackets for classical integrable systems using its' spectral curves.

A new method of singular reduction is extended from Poisson to Dirac manifolds. Then it is shown that the Dirac structures on the strata of the quotient coincide with those of the only other known singular Dirac reduction method.

We introduce a notion of a weak Poisson structure on a manifold $M$ modeled on a locally convex space. This is done by specifying a Poisson bracket on a subalgebra $\cA \subeq C^\infty(M)$ which has to satisfy a non-degeneracy condition…
