DESCRIPTION:Title: Van Est differentiation and Van Est integration\nby Eckhard Mein
renken (Toronto) as part of Global Poisson webinar\n\nLecture held in Zoom
.\n\nAbstract\nThe classical Van Est theory relates the smooth cohomology
of Lie groups with the cohomology of the associated Lie algebra. Some aspe
cts of this theory generalize to Lie groupoids and their Lie algebroids. I
n this talk\, we revisit the van Est theory using the Perturbation Lemma f
rom homological algebra. This leads to precise descriptions of the van Est
differentiation and integration at the level of cochains. The talk is bas
ed on recent work with Maria Amelia Salazar.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Short star-products for filtered quantizations\nby Pavel Etingof
(MIT) as part of Global Poisson webinar\n\nLecture held in Zoom.\n\nAbstr
act\nLet $A$ be a filtered Poisson algebra with Poisson bracket $\\lbrace{
\,\\rbrace}$ of degree $-2$. A {\\it star product} on $A$ is an associativ
e product $*: A\\otimes A\\to A$ given by $$a*b=ab+\\sum_{i\\ge 1}C_i(a\,b
)\,$$ where $C_i$ has degree $-2i$ and $C_1(a\,b)-C_1(b\,a)=\\lbrace{a\,b\
\rbrace}$. We call the product * {\\it even} if $C_i(a\,b)=(-1)^iC_i(b\,
a)$ for all $i$\, and call it {\\it short} if $C_i(a\,b)=0$ whenever $i>{\
\rm min}({\\rm deg}(a)\, {\\rm deg}(b))$.\n\nMotivated by three-dimensiona
l $N=4$ superconformal field theory\, In 2016 Beem\, Peelaers and Rastelli
considered short even star-products for homogeneous symplectic singularit
ies (more precisely\, hyperK\\"ahler cones) and conjectured that that they
exist and depend on finitely many parameters. We prove the dependence on
finitely many parameters in general and existence for a large class of exa
mples\, using the connection of this problem with zeroth Hochschild homolo
gy of quantizations suggested by Kontsevich.\n\nBeem\, Peelaers and Rastel
li also computed the first few terms of short quantizations for Kleinian s
ingularities of type A\, which were later computed to all orders by Dedush
enko\, Pufu and Yacoby. We will discuss some generalizations of these resu
lts.\n\nThis is joint work with Douglas Stryker.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Holonomic Poisson manifolds\nby Brent Pym (McGill) as part of Gl
obal Poisson webinar\n\nLecture held in Zoom.\n\nAbstract\nHolonomicity is
a new sort of nondegeneracy condition for\nholomorphic Poisson structures
\, closely related to the notion of a log\nsymplectic form\, and intimatel
y connected with the geometry of\nWeinstein's modular vector field. It e
ncompasses many natural Poisson\nstructures arising in gauge theory\, repr
esentation theory\, and algebraic\ngeometry. The motivation for the defi
nition comes from deformation\ntheory: a Poisson manifold is holonomic whe
n its space of deformations\nis "as finite-dimensional as possible"\, in a
sense I will make precise\nduring the talk (via D-modules). I will desc
ribe the basic theory and\nexamples of holonomic Poisson manifolds\, along
with some concrete\nclassification results\, including the discovery of m
any new irreducible\ncomponents of the moduli space of Poisson fourfolds.

DESCRIPTION:Title: From b-Poisson manifolds to singular contact structures\nby Eva
Miranda (UPC) as part of Global Poisson webinar\n\nLecture held in Zoom.\n
\nAbstract\nTaking as starting point motivating examples from celestial me
chanics and fluid dynamics\, we introduce the odd-dimensional counterpart
of b-Poisson/log-symplectic structures as Jacobi structures with transvers
ality conditions.\nWe discuss the basic theory and some constructions. In
particular\, we prove that a connected component of a convex hypersurf
ace of a contact manifold can be realized as a connected component of the
critical set of a $b^m$-contact structure. In dimension 3\, this construct
ion yields the existence of a generic set of surfaces $Z$ such that the pa
ir $(M\,Z)$ is a $b^{2k}$-contact manifold and $Z$ is its critical hypersu
rface.\n\n We also consider classical problems in Hamiltonian/Reeb dynam
ics and address the Weinstein conjecture on the existence of periodic orbi
ts of the Reeb vector field in this singular set-up. We end up this talk w
ith some applications of this singular Weinstein conjecture to the motivat
ing examples discussed at the beginning.\n\nThis is joint work with Cédri

DESCRIPTION:Title: Differential character valued momentum maps and the Teichmüller spa
ce\nby Tudor Ratiu (EPFL and Shanghai) as part of Global Poisson webin
ar\n\n\nAbstract\nIt is well-known that the actions of several diffeomorph
ism groups of geometric interest do not admit momentum maps. The definitio
n of the Teichmüller space via Riemannian geometry strongly suggest that
it is a symplectic reduced space. I will present an extension of the class
ical momentum map which always exists for actions of diffeomorphism groups
possessing the crucial Noether property. This extended momentum map has n
o longer values in (pre)duals of Lie algebras\; its values are in differen
tial character groups. This extended momentum map encodes discrete topolog
ical information\, something the classical momentum map cannot do. In orde
r to focus the presentation\, the Teichmüller space will serve as the exa
mple of this theory. The talk is based on joint work with Tobias Diez from
TU Delft.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Quantum minimal surface and noncommutative Kaehler geometry\nby
Maxim Kontsevich (IHÉS) as part of Global Poisson webinar\n\n\nAbstract\n
I will talk about several interrelated topics\, based on works 1903.10792
and 2003.03171. Minimal surfaces in Euclidean space can be approximated (i
n sense of Berezin-Toeplitz quantization) by representations of Yang-Mills
algebra given by relations $\\forall i\\\,\\sum_j[X_j\,[X_j\,X_i]]=0$ whe
re $X_i$ are self-adjoint operators. Similarly\, complex affine curves are
approximated by representations of hermitian Yang-Mills algebra $\\sum_k
[Z_k^\\dagger\,Z_k]=\\hbar\\cdot id$ where $Z_i$ are commuting operators (
but not self-adjoint in general). I will explain how the latter equation a
ppears in the context of a version of Kaehler geometry for noncommutative
algebras.\n

bed in this framework in a natural way. In particular\, the so-called Made
lung transform between the Schrödinger-type equations on wave functions a

DESCRIPTION:Title: Reduction and quantization for log symplectic manifolds\nby Rey
er Sjamaar (Cornell University) as part of Global Poisson webinar\n\n\nAbs
tract\nKirillov's orbit method suggests that the classical analogue of a r
epresentation of a Lie group G is a Hamiltonian G-action on a symplectic m
anifold M. The classical analogue of isotypical subspaces should then be t
he symplectic quotients of M. This "quantization commutes with reduction"
problem was articulated in the 80's by Guillemin and Sternberg and solved
by them in the context of Kaehler quantization and homogeneous quantizatio
n. In the 90's Meinrenken solved an index-theoretic version of the problem
. Yi Lin\, Yiannis Loizides\, Yanli Song\, and I have been trying to exten
d Meinrenken’s theorem to log symplectic manifolds\, and this talk will

algebras has a geometric version for Poisson manifolds (due to Xu)\, def
ined in terms of Weinstein's dual pairs. A natural question is whether the
se two parallel Morita theories could be related by quantization. Motivate
d by this question\, this talk will discuss an extension of Morita equival
ence of Poisson manifolds to the setting of {\\em formal} Poisson structur
es\, and present a result characterizing Morita equivalent formal Poisson
structures vanishing in zeroth order in terms of ``B-field transformations
'' (joint work with I. Ortiz and S. Waldmann). Using the correspondence be
tween formal Poisson structures and star products (due to Kontsevich)\, th
is result leads to a concrete link between Morita equivalence in Poisson g

DESCRIPTION:Title: Semiclassical aspects of quantization: Local symplectic groupoids\,
generating functions and the Poisson sigma model\nby Alajandro Cabrer
a (UFRJ) as part of Global Poisson webinar\n\n\nAbstract\nThe aim of this
talk is to present three results related to local symplectic groupoids i
n connection to quantization of the underlying Poisson manifold. We first
review the notion of a generating function $S$ for such local symplectic g
roupoids and outline the first result stating that such $S$ always exist a
nd how to construct them. When the Poisson manifold is a coordinate space\
, we provide an explicit (integral) formula for $S$. The second result mak
es reference to quantization: we show that the formal Taylor expansion $S_
K$ of the coordinate $S$ yields the tree-level part of Kontsevich's quanti
zation formula\, as first studied by Cattaneo-Dherin-Felder. We also sketc
h how the (non-formal) analytic formula for $S$ actually "explains" the gr
aph structure of $S_K$\, using Butcher series techniques. Finally\, the t
hird result relates $S$ to the functional perspective underlying the Poiss
on Sigma Model: we can recover $S$ by evaluating a functional on a set of
solutions ("semiclassical fields") for a system of PDEs on a disk\, which
we also show how to solve (non-perturbatively). We comment on conclusions
and further directions at the end.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Classical field theory\, variational calculus\, and the Batalin-Vil
kovisky formalism\nby Ezra Getzler (University of Northwestern) as pa
rt of Global Poisson webinar\n\n\nAbstract\n"The Batalin-Vilkovisky formal
ism extends Noether's approach to classical field theories\, which is rest
ricted to the Euler-Lagrange locus (or ""on-shell""\, as physicists say)\,
off-shell. This is of course important in the study of quantization of fi
eld theories\, since the quantized theory is not restricted to the Euler-L
agrange locus.\n
\nIn the variational calculus\, the action functio
nal is the integral of a local expression in the fields and their derivati
ves. The symmetries of the action may be expressed by the classical Batali
n-Vilkovisky master equation\, which is a Maurer-Cartan equation for funct
ionals of the classical fields\, ghost fields expressing the symmetries of
the theory\, and certain auxilliary fields known as antifields.\n
\nThe Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism has a natural extension in functionals
are lifted to densities. In the first part of today's talk\, I explain thi
s extension. which relies on the Soloviev bracket in the variational calcu
lus\, originally introduced in the study of general relativity.\n
\
nSymmetries of a field theory involving diffeomorphisms of the world sheet
do not really fit into the formalism of the variational calculus. In my a
rticle ""Covariance in the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism""\, I explain ho
w to take into account such symmetries of the world sheet by incorporating
a curvature term into the Batalin-Vilkovisky master equation\, associated
to a differential graded Lie algebra with curvature. This construction is
the subject of the second part of the talk.\n
\nI will finish with
a few words on the work of Bonechi\, Cattaneo\, Qiu and Zabzine\, who stu
died the extension of our formalism to quantum field theory."\n

manifold of an appropriate type in an infinite jet space. There is a Lie a
lgebroid naturally attached to a diffiety\, and the associated Lie algebro
id cohomology contains important coordinate independent information on the
PDE: variational principles\, symmetries\, conservation laws\, recursion
operators\, etc. To some extent these cohomologies can also be interpreted
as vector fields\, differential forms\, tensors\, etc. on the space of so
lutions. This interpretation is supported by the fact that we find the app
ropriate algebraic structures in cohomology. I will review this theory and
show that those algebraic structures do actually come from homotopy algeb
ras at the level of cochains\, confirming an old conjecture of A. M. Vinog
radov that “the calculus on the space of solutions of a PDE is a calculu
s up to homotopy”.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Newton-Okounkov bodies\, integrable systems\, and convergence of po
larizations\nby Megumi Harada (McMaster University) as part of Global
Poisson webinar\n\n\nAbstract\nLet $X$ be a smooth irreducible complex alg
ebraic variety of dimension $n$ and $L$ a very ample Hermitian line bundle
. In this talk I will recount\, in very broad strokes\, two interconnected
stories related to the symplectic geometry of $X$. The first story is tha
t the theory of Newton-Okounkov bodies\, and the toric degenerations to w
hich they give rise\, can provide -- in rather general situations -- const
ructions of integrable systems on $X$. The main tool in the first story is
the gradient-Hamiltonian vector field. The second story concerns the ``in
dependence of polarization'' issue which arises in the theory of geometric
quantization. Specifically\, given a toric degeneration of $(X\,L)$ satis
fying some technical hypotheses\, we construct a deformation $\\{J_s\\}$ o
f the complex structure on $X$ and bases $B_s$ of $H^0(X\, L\, J_s)$ so t
hat $J_0$ is the standard complex structure and\, in the limit as $s \\to
\\infty$\, the basis elements approach dirac-delta distributions centered
at Bohr-Sommerfeld fibers of the moment map associated to the integrable s
ystem on $X$ (constructed using the first story). This significantly gene
ralizes previous results in geometric quantization proving independence of
polarization between Kahler quantizations and real polarizations.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Classifying space $BG$ as a symplectic stack\nby Chenchang Zhu
(Göttingen) as part of Global Poisson webinar\n\n\nAbstract\nIt is proba
bly well known to people who know it well that $BG$ carries a sort of sym
plectic structure\, if the Lie algebra of $G$ is quadratic Lie algebra.
In this talk\, we explore various differential-geometric (1-group\, 2-grou
p\, double-group) models to realise this (2-shift) symplectic structure in
concrete formulas and show the equivalences between them.\n\nIn the infin
ite dimensional models (2-group\, double-group)\, Segal's symplectic form
on based loop groups turns out to be additionally multiplicative or almost
so. These models are equivalent to a finite dimensional model with Carta
n 3-form and Karshon-Weinstein 2-form via Morita Equivalence. All these fo
rms give rise to the first Pontryagin class on $BG$. Moreover\, they are r
elated to the original invariant pairing on the Lie algebra through an exp
licit integration and Van Est procedure. Finally\, as you might have guess
ed\, the associated String group $BString(G)$ may be seen as a prequantiza
tion of this symplectic structure. From the math-physics point of view\, w
hat is behind is the Chern-Simons sigma model.\n

nez Torres (PUC-Rio) as part of Global Poisson webinar\n\n\nAbstract\nThis
talk discusses aspects of the theory of submanifolds and submersions in P
oisson geometry. In the first part we present the general picture concerni
ng manifolds which inherit a Poisson structure from an ambient Poisson man
ifold\, and among those\, we select a class (coregular submanifolds) which
have particularly nice functorial properties. The second part is devoted
to Poisson submersions with coregular fibers. Coregular submersions restri
ct nicely over symplectic leaves in the base (coupling property)\, and we
determine when they split into commuting vertical and horizontal Poisson s
tructures. In the last part we present instances in which such coregular P
oisson submersions appear. Our illustrations all revolve around Poisson ac
tions of Poisson-Lie groups. This is joint work with L. Brambila and P. Fr

(University of Oxford) as part of Global Poisson webinar\n\n\nAbstract\nTh

with a focus on the case of differential equations with logarithmic singul
arities along certain (possibly singular) submanifolds that are associated
to reductive groups. Whereas the traditional approach to classification r

the elliptic algebras $Q_{n\,k}(C\,\\eta)$ generalizing the construction o
f Sklyanin and Cherednik. Here n\,k are coprime positive integers\, $C$ is
a complex elliptic curve and $\\eta$ is a point on $C$. Elliptic algebras
are quantization of polynomial algebras. They are conjectured to be regu
lar in the sense of Artin and Schelter for all parameters. Homological a
nd representation theoretical properties of elliptic algebras are studied
via Poisson geometry of their semiclassical limits. We will discuss variou
s results about these Poisson structures\, e.g. classification of symplect

derived geometry\, in particular the work of Calaque-Pantev-Toen-Vaquie-V

DESCRIPTION:Title: Deformations\, cohomology and homotopy of relative Rota-Baxter Lie
algebras\nby Yunhe Sheng (Jilin University) as part of Global Poisson
webinar\n\n\nAbstract\nRota-Baxter operators were originally defined on a
commutative associative algebra by Rota. Then it was defined on Lie algebr
as as the operator form of the classical Yang-Baxter equation. Kupershmidt
introduced a more general notion called O-operator (later called relative
Rota-Baxter operator) for arbitrary representation. Rota-Baxter operators
have fruitful applications in mathematical physics. We determine the L-
infty-algebra that characterizes relative Rota-Baxter Lie algebras as Maur
er-Cartan elements. As applications\, first we determine the L-infty-algeb
ra that controls deformations of a relative Rota-Baxter Lie algebra and sh
ow that it is an extension of the dg Lie algebra controlling deformations
of the underlying Lie algebra and representation by the dg Lie algebra con
trolling deformations of the relative Rota-Baxter operator. Then we define
the cohomology of relative Rota-Baxter Lie algebras and relate it to
their infinitesimal deformations. In particular the cohomolgoy of Rota-B
axter Lie algebras and triangular Lie bialgebras are given. Finally we int
roduce the notion of homotopy relative Rota-Baxter operators and show that
the underlying structure is pre-Lie-infinity algebras. This talk is based
on joint works with Chenming Bai\, Li Guo\, Andrey Lazarev and Rong Tang.

DESCRIPTION:Title: An introduction to the hypoelliptic Laplacian\nby Nigel Higson
(Penn State) as part of Global Poisson webinar\n\n\nAbstract\nJean-Michel
Bismut's hypoelliptic Laplacian is a one-parameter family of linear differ
ential operators that interpolates between the Laplacian and the geodesic
flow. It may be constructed in a variety of contexts\, but in this lectu
re I shall concentrate on symmetric spaces. Here a special mechanism comes
into play\, as a result of which the heat traces associated to all the op
erators in the family remain constant throughout the interpolation. By s
tudying the limits at both ends of the family\, remarkable formulas are ob
tained\, including for example the Selberg trace formula. All this requi
res a heavy dose of analysis in the spirit of\, but more complicated than\
, the local index theory of Dirac operators. But in this talk I shall most
ly ignore the analysis and concentrate on a few basic ideas\, in the hope
that they may eventually lead to a more geometric understanding of the hyp
oelliptic Laplacian.\n

the previous results obtained by Xu et al for unimodular Poisson algebras
. We also show that these two algebraic structures are preserved under K

bstract\nLog-symplectic manifolds constitute a class of Poisson manifolds
that in many respects behave like symplectic ones. We address the question
of whether Lagrangian submanifolds and their deformations are as well-beh
aved as in symplectic geometry. Since the case of Lagrangians transversal
to the singular locus is well understood\, we focus on Lagrangian submanif
olds contained in the singular locus. We establish a normal form theorem a
round such submanifolds\, and show that their deformations are governed by
a DGLA. The latter allows to draw geometric consequences: we discuss when
a Lagrangian admits deformations not contained in the singular locus\, an
d we give precise criteria for unobstructedness of first order deformation
s.\n\nThis talk is based on joint work with Stephane Geudens.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Bihamiltonian systems and invariant polynomials\nby Francesco B
onechi (INFN\, Florence) as part of Global Poisson webinar\n\n\nAbstract\n
Motivated by the problem of quantization of the symplectic groupoid we stu
dy a class of bihamiltonian systems defined on compact hermitian symmetric
spaces. Indeed\, a Poisson Nijenhuis (PN) structure defines a (singular)
real polarization of the symplectic groupoid integrating any of the Poisso
n structures appearing in the bihamiltonian hierarchy. Despite its singula
rity\, this polarization leads to the quantization of complex projective s
paces. We will discuss in some detail a way to discuss this polarization i
n terms of invariant polynomials of a certain Thimm chain of subalgebras.
This approach works for the classical cases\; time permitting\, I will dis
cuss some partial results about the exceptional cases.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Exploring the modular class of Dirac structures\nby Charlotte K
irchhoff-Lukat (KU Leuven) as part of Global Poisson webinar\n\n\nAbstract
\nThe concept of modular class is best known for Poisson structures\, but
is naturally defined for any Lie algebroid: It is a class in the first Lie
algebroid cohomology. Poisson structures as Lie algebroids have the speci
al feature that their dual is isomorphic to the tangent bundle and thus re
presentatives are vector fields\, which allows for the definition of the s
o-called modular foliation\, locally spanned by Hamiltonian vector fields
and the modular vector field. This modular foliation can in turn be viewed
as the foliation of a Poisson structure on the total space of the real li
ne bundle $\\det (T^\\ast M)$ (Gualtieri-Pym). In this talk\, I will show
how to extend these concepts to general real or complex Dirac structures i
n exact Courant algebroids and discuss the information contained in the mo
dular class of a Dirac structure in some non-Poisson examples. (This is jo
int work in progress with Ralph Klaasse.)\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: KMS Functionals in Poisson Geometry\nby Stefan Waldmann (Würzb
urg) as part of Global Poisson webinar\n\n\nAbstract\nIn this talk I will
report on some old results about KMS states in symplectic geometry and pre
sent new results in the general Poisson case. The classical KMS condition
captures thermodynamical states in classical mechanical systems as a semi-
classical limit of the (original) quantum KMS condition used in algebraic
quantum field theory. In the symplectic case the classification of KMS fun
ctionals is rather simple. In the general Poisson case\, the investigation
of the KMS condition for volume forms can be seen as one of the main moti
vations for the definition of the modular class by Alan Weinstein. Conside
ring more general functionals gives new and interesting structures where i
n some simple cases a full classification is available. While the classica
l situation is already very rich\, the quantization of classical KMS state
s is yet to be explored. The results are a joint work with Nicolò Drago.\

DESCRIPTION:Title: Thick morphisms of supermanifolds and bracket structures\nby Th
eodore Voronov (Manchester) as part of Global Poisson webinar\n\n\nAbstrac
t\nA “thick morphism” of supermanifolds is a generalization of a smoot
h map that I introduced in 2014. It is NOT a map\, but it induces a pull-b
ack of smooth functions. A peculiar feature of such pull-back is that it i
s NONLINEAR --- actually\, it is a formal mapping of the algebras of smoot
h functions regarded as infinite-dimensional (super)manifolds. Compare wit
h ordinary pull-backs\, which are algebra homomorphisms\, in particular li
near. In the talk\, I will give the definition of thick morphisms and expl
ain the construction of nonlinear pull-backs. Actually\, because of the no
n-linearity\, there are two parallel versions of thick morphisms and the
corresponding pull-backs: “bosonic” (acting on even functions) and “
fermionic” (acting on odd functions). Each of them gives rise to a forma
l category containing the category of ordinary maps.\n\nMy original motiva
tion was constructing L-infinity morphisms for homotopy Poisson or homotop
y Schouten brackets. Thick morphisms also make it possible to give adjoint
s for nonlinear vector bundle maps (useful for L-infinity algebroids). The
re is a nonlinear analog of “functional-algebraic duality” with certai
n “nonlinear algebra homomorphisms” taking place of ordinary homomorph
isms. In the bosonic case\, thick morphisms also have a quantum version gi
ven by particular Fourier integral operators\, which provide L-infinity mo
rphisms for “quantum brackets” generated by BV- type operators.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Stable Weinstein geometry through localizations\nby Hiro Tanaka
(Texas State University) as part of Global Poisson webinar\n\n\nAbstract\
nMuch of computational math is formula-driven\, while much of categorical
math is formalism-driven. Mirror symmetry is rich in part because many of
its results are driven by both. With the advent of stable-homotopy-theoret
ic invariants in symplectic geometry--such as Nadler-Shende's microlocal c
ategories and (on the horizon) spectrally enriched wrapped Fukaya categori
es--there has been a real need for better-behaved formalisms in symplectic
geometry. (This is because\, now-a-days\, much of stable homotopy theory
is possible only thanks to extremely well-constructed formalisms.) In this
talk\, we will talk about recent success in constructing the formalism\,
especially in the setting of certain non-compact symplectic manifolds call
ed Weinstein sectors. The results have concrete geometric consequences\, l
ike showing that spaces of embeddings of these manifolds map continuously
to spaces of maps between certain invariants. (And in particular\, leads t
o higher-homotopy-group generalizations\, in the Weinstein setting\, of th
e Seidel homomorphism\, similar to works of Savelyev and Oh-Tanaka.) The m
ain result we'll discuss is that the infinity-category of stabilized secto
rs can be constructed using the categorically formal process of localizati
on. Most of what we discuss is joint with Oleg Lazarev and Zachary Sylvan.

DESCRIPTION:Title: Lie groupoids in fluid dynamics\nby Anton Izosimov (University
of Arizona) as part of Global Poisson webinar\n\n\nAbstract\nIn 1966\, V.
Arnold showed that the Euler equation describing the motion of an ideal f
luid on a Riemannian manifold can be regarded as the geodesic flow of a ri
ght-invariant metric on the Lie group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms
. This insight turned out to be indispensable for the study of Hamiltonian
properties and conservation laws in hydrodynamics\, fluid instabilities\,
topological properties of flows\, as well as a powerful tool for obtainin
g sharper existence and uniqueness results for Euler-type equations. Howev
er\, the scope of application of Arnold’s approach is limited to problem
s whose symmetries form a group. At the same time\, there are many problem
s in fluid dynamics\, such as free boundary problems\, fluid-structure int
eractions\, as well as discontinuous fluid flows\, whose symmetries should
instead be regarded as a groupoid. In the talk\, I will discuss an extens
ion of Arnold's theory from Lie groups to Lie groupoids. The example of vo

\nby Frances Kirwan (Oxford) as part of Global Poisson webinar\n\n\nAbstra
ct\nWhen a complex reductive group $G$ acts linearly on a projective varie
ty $X$\, the GIT quotient $X//G$ can be identified with a symplectic quoti
ent of $X$ by a Hamiltonian action of a maximal compact subgroup $K$ of $G
$. Here the moment map takes values in the (real) dual of the Lie algebra
of $K$\, which embeds naturally in the complex dual of the Lie algebra of
$G$ (as those complex linear maps taking real values on $\\mathfrak{k}$).
The aim of this talk is to discuss an analogue of this description for GIT
quotients by suitable non-reductive actions\, where the analogue of the m
oment map takes values in the complex dual of the Lie algebra of the non-r

DESCRIPTION:Title: Vector bundles over Lie groupoids and related structures\nby Ma
tias del Hoyo (Universidade Federal Fluminense) as part of Global Poisso
n webinar\n\n\nAbstract\nThe differentiation of a Lie groupoid yields a Li
e algebroid and the transverse geometry of a Lie groupoid is encoded in a
differentiable stack. These two constructions admit partial inverses\, thu
s setting a bridge between the theories of algebroids and stacks\, which h
as shown to be useful when dealing for instance with representations and c
ohomology. In this talk\, I will overview vector bundles over Lie groupoid
s\, Lie algebroids\, and differentiable stacks\, explain their key role in
Poisson and Dirac geometries\, discuss their behavior when crossing throu
gh that bridge\, and mention some of my contributions to the subject.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Two field-theoretic viewpoints on the Fukaya-Morse $A_\\infty$-cate
gory\nby Pavel Mnev (University of Notre Dame) as part of Global Poiss
on webinar\n\n\nAbstract\nWe study an enhanced version of the Morse degene
ration of the Fukaya $A_\\infty$-category with higher compositions given b
y counts of gradient flow trees. The enhancement consists in allowing morp
hisms from an object to itself to be chains on the manifold. Higher compos
itions correspond to counting Morse trees passing through a given set of c
hains. We provide two viewpoints on the construction and on the proof of t
he $A_\\infty$-relations for the composition maps. One viewpoint is via an
effective action for the BF theory computed in a special gauge. The other
is via higher topological quantum mechanics. This is a report on a joint
work with O. Chekeres\, A. Losev and D. Youmans\, preprint available at ar
Xiv:2112.12756.\n

will discuss some results due mostly to my students Nicole Kroeger and Doa
n Le on classifying coisotropic subalgebras in a complex semisimple Lie al
gebra with standard Lie bialgebra structure. This work builds on previous
results of Zambon\, and uses my previous work with Jiang-Hua Lu on the va
riety of Lagrangian subalgebras\, along with additional results of Lu on s
pherical conjugacy classes.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Homotopy fiber product of manifolds\nby Hsuan-Yi Liao (National
Tsing Hua University) as part of Global Poisson webinar\n\n\nAbstract\nA
main motivation of developing derived differential geometry is to deal wit
h singularities arising from zero loci or intersections of submanifolds. B
oth zero loci and intersections can be considered as fiber products of man
ifolds which may not be manifolds. Thus\, we extend the category of differ
entiable manifolds to a larger category in which one has "homotopy fiber p
roducts". In this talk\, I would like to show a construction\, using vecto
r bundles\, sections and connections\, of homotopy fiber products of manif
olds and explain structures behind the construction. The talk is mainly b
ased on a joint work with Kai Behrend and Ping Xu.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Symplectic reduction along a submanifold\nby Peter Crooks (Nort
heastern University) as part of Global Poisson webinar\n\n\nAbstract\nNoet
her's perspective on conserved quantities gives rise to quotient construct
ions in symplectic geometry. The most classical such construction is Marsd
en-Weinstein-Meyer reduction\, while more modern variants include Ginzburg
-Kazhdan reduction\, Kostant-Whittaker reduction\, Mikami-Weinstein reduct
ion\, symplectic cutting\, and symplectic implosion.\n\nI will outline a g
eneralization of the quotient constructions mentioned above. This generali
zation will be shown to have versions in the smooth\, holomorphic\, comple
x algebraic\, and derived symplectic contexts. As a corollary\, I will der
ive a concrete and Lie-theoretic construction of "universal" symplectic qu
otients.\n\nThis represents joint work with Maxence Mayrand.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Some remarks on Lagrangian intersections in the algebraic case\
nby Kai Behrend (Univercity of British Columbia) as part of Global Poisson
webinar\n\n\nAbstract\nSome years ago\, in joint work with B. Fantechi\,
we constructed brackets on the higher structure sheaves of Lagrangian inte
rsections\, and compatible Batalin-Vilkovisky operators\, when certain ori
entations are chosen (see our contribution to Manin’s 70th birthday fest
schrift). This lead to a de-Rham type cohomology theory for Lagrangian int
ersections. In the interim\, much progress has been made on a better under
standing of the origin of these structures\, and some related conjectures
have been proved. We will explain some of these results.\n
