Multiplicative Nambu structures on Lie groupoids (1611.01613v2)
Abstract: We study some properties of coisotropic submanifolds of a manifold with respect to a given multivector field. Using this notion, we generalize the results of Weinstein \cite{wein} from Poisson bivector field to Nambu-Poisson tensor or more generally to any multivector field. We also introduce the notion of Nambu-Lie groupoid generalizing the concepts of both Poisson-Lie groupoid and Nambu-Lie group. We show that the infinitesimal version of Nambu-Lie groupoid is the notion of weak Lie-Filippov bialgebroid as introduced in \cite{bas-bas-das-muk}. Next we introduce coisotropic subgroupoids of a Nambu-Lie groupoid and these subgroupoids corresponds to, so called coisotropic subalgebroids of the corresponding weak Lie-Filippov bialgebroid.
