Reduction Of Poisson Manifolds With Hamiltonian Lie Algebroids

Abstract

A reduction theorem for Poisson manifolds with Hamiltonian Lie algebroids is presented. The notion of compatibility of a momentum section is introduced to the category of Hamiltonian Lie algebroids over Poisson manifolds. It is shown that a compatible momentum section is a Lie algebra homomorphism, and then the quotient space of the zero level set of a compatible momentum section proves to be a Poisson manifold.
