Prequantization of Poisson manifolds and their symplectic groupoids
Abstract:
Prequantization of symplectic manifolds is a well known procedure
and is associated with interesting geometric features. We show that
the notion of prequantization extends in an analogous way to Poisson and, more
generally, Dirac manifolds. Further we present a different, more general notion
of prequantization and draw some comparisions to the one described above.
