Poisson-Lie structures as shifted Poisson structures (1706.02623v2)

Abstract: Classical limits of quantum groups give rise to multiplicative Poisson structures such as Poisson-Lie and quasi-Poisson structures. We relate them to the notion of a shifted Poisson structure which gives a conceptual framework for understanding classical (dynamical) $r$-matrices, quasi-Poisson groupoids and so on. We also propose a notion of a symplectic realization of shifted Poisson structures and show that Manin pairs and Manin triples give examples of such.
