Abstract

For a Lie groupoid G\mathcal{G} with Lie algebroid AA, we realize the symplectic leaves of the Lie-Poisson structure on AA^* as orbits of the affine coadjoint action of the Lie groupoid JGTM\mathcal{J}\mathcal{G}\ltimes T^*M on AA^*, which coincide with the groupoid orbits of the symplectic groupoid TGT^*\mathcal{G} over AA^*. It is also shown that there is a fiber bundle structure on each symplectic leaf. In the case of gauge groupoids, a symplectic leaf is the universal phase space for a classical particle in a Yang-Mills field.
