We study Dirac structures associated with Manin pairs (\d,\g) and give a Dirac geometric approach to Hamiltonian spaces with D/G-valued moment maps, originally introduced by Alekseev and Kosmann-Schwarzbach in terms of quasi-Poisson…

We develop a theory of "quasi"-Hamiltonian G-spaces for which the moment map takes values in the group G itself rather than in the dual of the Lie algebra. The theory includes counterparts of Hamiltonian reductions, the Guillemin-Sternberg…

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…

Let $G$ be a complex simple Lie group, and $\mathfrak{g}$ its Lie algebra. It is well known that a finite-dimensional $G$-module $V$ carrying a nondegenerate invariant bilinear form gives rise to a Hamiltonian Poisson space with a quadratic…

The notion of quasi-Poisson $G$-spaces with $D/G$-valued moment maps was introduced by Alekseev and Kosmann-Schwarzbach in 1999. Our main result is a \emph{Lifting Theorem}, establishing a bijective correspondence between the categories of…

We extend the notion of Poisson-Lie groups and Lie bialgebras from Poisson to g-quasi-Poisson geometry and provide a quantization to braided Hopf algebras in the corresponding Drinfeld category. The basic examples of these g-quasi-Poisson…

We review the concept of the (anomalous) Poisson-Lie symmetry in a way that emphasises the notion of Poisson-Lie Hamiltonian. The language that we develop turns out to be very useful for several applications: we prove that the left and the…

We extend the correspondence between Poisson maps and actions of symplectic groupoids, which generalizes the one between momentum maps and hamiltonian actions, to the realm of Dirac geometry. As an example, we show how hamiltonian…

Let $G_{\P}$ be a compact simple Poisson-Lie group equipped with a Poisson structure $\P$ and $(M, \o)$ be a symplectic manifold. Assume that $M$ carries a Poisson action of $G_{\P}$ and there is an equivariant moment map in the sense of Lu…

We construct an analogue of Whittaker reduction for Poisson actions of a semisimple complex Poisson-Lie group G. The reduction takes place along a class of transversal slices to unipotent orbits in G, which are generalizations of the…

The main result of this paper is a convexity theorem for momentum mappings of certain hamiltonian actions of noncompact semisimple Lie groups. The image is required to fall within a certain open subset D of the (dual of the) Lie algebra,…

We extend the definition of Weinstein's Action homomorphism to Hamiltonian actions with equivariant moment maps of (possibly infinite-dimensional) Lie groups on symplectic manifolds, and show that under conditions including a uniform bound…

Given a $\mathfrak{g}$-action on a Poisson manifold $(M, \pi)$ and an equivariant map $J: M \rightarrow \mathfrak{h}^*,$ for $\mathfrak{h}$ a $\mathfrak{g}$-module, we obtain, under natural compatibility and regularity conditions previously…

Let G be a Lie group and g its Lie algebra. We develop a theory of quasi Poisson structures relative to a not necessarily non-degenerate Ad-invariant symmetric 2-tensor in the tensor square of g and one of general not necessarily…

The gauge action of the Lie group $G$ on the chiral WZNW phase space ${\cal M}_{\check G}$ of quasiperiodic fields with $\check G$-valued monodromy, where $\check G\subset G$ is an open submanifold, is known to be a Poisson-Lie (PL) action…

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…

We study Hamiltonian spaces associated with pairs (E,A), where E is a Courant algebroid and A\subset E is a Dirac structure. These spaces are defined in terms of morphisms of Courant algebroids with suitable compatibility conditions.…

Classical limits of quantum groups give rise to multiplicative Poisson structures such as Poisson-Lie and quasi-Poisson structures. We relate them to the notion of a shifted Poisson structure which gives a conceptual framework for…

We provide a quasi-Poisson version of the Drinfeld's correspondence between Poisson homogeneous spaces and Lagrangian subalgebras.

Poisson actions of Poisson Lie groups have an interesting and rich geometric structure. We will generalize some of this structure to Dirac actions of Dirac Lie groups. Among other things, we extend a result of Jiang-Hua-Lu, which states…
