Deformations of Lagrangian $NQ$-submanifolds

Abstract

In this paper we prove graded versions of the Darboux Theorem and Weinstein's Lagrangian tubular neighbourhood Theorem in order to study the deformation theory of Lagrangian $NQ$-submanifolds of degree $n$ symplectic $NQ$-manifolds. Using Weinstein's Lagrangian tubular neighbourhood Theorem, we attach to every Lagrangian $NQ$-submanifold an $L_\infty$-algebra, which controls its deformation theory. The main examples are coisotropic submanifolds of Poisson manifolds and (higher) Dirac structures with support in (higher) Courant algebroids.
