On the geometry of complex Poisson bivectors

Abstract

We study the geometry of complex Poisson bivectors over smooth manifolds. We show that under mild regularity conditions any complex Poisson bivector has associated a complex presymplectic foliation. After that, we use techniques of Dirac geometry to provide a more concise description of this complex presymplectic foliation. Moreover, we introduce two new classes of structures: quasi-real Poisson and quasi-real Dirac structures. In the last part, we focus on the normal form of complex Poisson bivectors. Under certain regularity, we provide a normal form theorem for complex Poisson structures along certain kinds of submanifolds.
