Abstract

AbstractSymplectic manifolds appear as phase spaces of many mechanical systems and are as such, historically, the first examples of Poisson manifolds. They can be characterized as Poisson manifolds whose rank is constant and equal to the dimension of the manifold. Since the rank of their Poisson structure is constant, symplectic manifolds are regular Poisson manifolds. Locally their Poisson structure looks like the standard Poisson structure, i.e., locally they are constant Poisson structures. Important examples of symplectic manifolds which are discussed include Kähler manifolds, cotangent bundles and quotients of symplectic vector spaces.KeywordsPoisson BracketSymplectic ManifoldPoisson StructureSymplectic StructureAhler ManifoldThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
