While a direct quantization of the reduced symplectic manifolds and concordant induced representations of Poisson algebras may be possible in certain examples, a systematic approach intending to mimic the classical reduction/induction procedure in some quantum fashion ought to start from a quantization of the `unconstrained' system.
Indeed, the term `Morita equivalence of Poisson manifolds' \ci{Xu91} was clearly inspired by the terminology of (strong) `Morita equivalence of operator algebras' \ci{Rie74,Rie82}.
Now form the symplectic manifold $S'=(S*_{P}\til{S})/\F$ as in Definition \ref{def1} (assuming that the leaf space of the foliation is indeed a manifold) and Theorem \ref{cis} (that is, $S*_P\til{S}$ consists of those pairs $(x,y)\in S\times \til{S}$ for which $J(x)=\hat{J}(y)$, and the foliation $\F$ is generated by $X_{J^*f}-X_{\hat{J}}^*f$, $f\in\cin(P)$).

Poisson groupoids were introduced by Weinstein in 1988 as a bridge between Poisson Lie groups and symplectic groupoids.
The linearization of a Poisson groupoid is a Lie bialgebroid; the abstract concept, defined by Mackenzie and Ping Xu (1994) is a smooth form of strong differential Gerstenhaber algebra.
The cotangent bundle of a Poisson Lie group G is an object intermediate between the Lie bialgebra which is its infintiesimal invariant, and the matched pair, or symplectic double groupoid, which represents its global form.

It is proved that, in the case of $GL_n$ with standard representation, the (Poisson or BV) bracket of two generalized Wilson loops applied to two cycles is the same as the generalized Wilson loop applied to the string bracket of the cycles.

Poisson geometry appears to be crucial in the study of integrable systems, both finite and infinite dimensional, and is the starting point in order to generalize the concept of integrabilty to quantum systems.
Indeed, the choice of a Poisson bivector on a surface X (in other terms, the choice of a global section of the anticanonical bundle) determines natural Poisson structures both on the moduli space of stable sheaves and on the Hilbert scheme of points of X [Bo, Mar].
According to the terminology fixed in [Fr], a special Kaehler manifold is a Kaehler (or more generally, pseudo-Kaehler) manifold equipped with a flat torsionless connection such that the covariant derivative of the Kaehler form and the covariant differential of the complex structure are both equal to zero.

 On Embedding the 1:1:2 Resonance Space in a Poisson Manifold   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The Hamiltonian actions of $\S^{1}$ on the symplectic manifold $\R^{6}$ in the $1:1:-2$ and $1:1:2$ resonances are studied.
The orbit space and the reduced orbit space are singular Poisson spaces with smooth structures determined by the invariant functions.
It is shown that the Poisson structure on the orbit space, for both the $1:1:2$ and the $1:1:-2$ resonance, cannot be extended to $V$, and that the Poisson structure on the reduced orbit space $J^{- 1}(0)/\S^{1}$ for the $1:1:-2$ resonance cannot be extended to the hyperplane $V_{J}$.

 Xu: Poisson cohomology of regular Poisson manifolds
The main purpose of this paper is to suggest a method of computing Poisson cohomology of a Poisson manifold by means of symplectic groupoids.
The key idea is to convert the problem of computing Poisson cohomology to that of computing de Rham cohomology of certain manifolds.
In particular, we shall derive an explicit formula for the Poisson cohomology of a regular Poisson manifold where the symplectic foliation is a trivial fibration.

Abstract: The Poisson sigma model is a bidimensional field theory having as target manifold a Poisson manifold.
Kontsevich formula for the deformation quantization of the target manifold is interpretable as the perturbative expansion of a particular correlator of the model.
In this seminar, we clarify the meaning of the inegrality condition of the Poisson tensor which appears both in the integration of the gauge transformations of the model and in the geometric quantization of the target manifold.

For a symplectic manifold, η is nothing other than the inverse of the symplectic form ω, which exists because it is invertible.

A symplectic groupoid is a symplectic manifold with a submersive Poisson morphism onto a Poisson manifold.
But not every Poisson manifold can be associated with such a symplectic groupoid.
Based on the detailed analysis of these new metrics, we obtain good understanding of all of the known classical complete Kahler metrics, in particular the Kahler–Einstein metric from which we prove that the logarithmic cotangent bundle of the moduli space is stable in the sense of Mumford.

A symplectic manifold is a special sort of Poisson manifold, one where the Poisson brackets are "nondegenerate".
A Poisson manifold as defined in my previous post is the same as a manifold equipped with a 2-vector field P satisfying [P,P] = 0.
The relation between this P and the Poisson bracket is {f,g} = , where the angle brackets here stand for the obvious pairing between 2-vector fields and 2-forms.

In this case, a Poisson action of G on M turns out to be simply an ordinary action of the Lie group G on M that preserves the Poisson brackets of functions on M. This is what people always used to mean when they talked about a "group of symmetries" of some classical phase space.
As before, a Poisson action of G on M is a Poisson map A: G x M -> M, but now this is more interesting since the Poisson brackets on G enter into the game.

I will discuss the relationship between two notions of equivalence in Poisson geometry: one is gauge equivalence, that appears as the Poisson counterpart of Morita equivalence of star-product algebras via Kontsevich's formality correspondence; the other is Xu's Morita equivalence for integrable Poisson manifolds, that is a refinement of Weinstein's notion of dual pairs.
This is done when the original manifold is a product of two-dimentional spheres or more generally when it is a product of manifolds such that the cohomology ring of each of them is generated by a degree two class.
