Integrability of Poisson Brackets

Integrability of Poisson Brackets

We show that various notions of integrability for Poisson brackets are all equivalent, and we give the precise obstructions to integrating Poisson manifolds. We describe the integration as a symplectic quotient, in the spirit of the Poisson sigma-model of Cattaneo and Felder. For regular Poisson manifolds we express the obstructions in terms of variations of symplectic areas. As an application ...

Integrability of Lie Brackets

In this paper we present the solution to a longstanding problem of differential geometry: Lie’s third theorem for Lie algebroids. We show that the integrability problem is controlled by two computable obstructions. As applications we derive, explain and improve the known integrability results, we establish integrability by local Lie groupoids, we clarify the smoothness of the Poisson sigma-mode...

Linearization of Poisson Brackets

We review the linearization of Poisson brackets and related problems, in the formal, analytic and smooth categories.

Compatible nonlocal Poisson brackets

In the present work, the integrable bi-Hamiltonian hierarchies related to compatible nonlocal Poisson brackets of hydrodynamic type are effectively constructed. For achieving this aim, first of all, the problem on the canonical form of a special type for compatible nonlocal Poisson brackets of hydrodynamic type is solved. The compatible pairs of nonlocal Poisson brackets of hydrodynamic type ha...
