Astérisque, n° 413. Regular Poisson manifolds of compact types

This is the second paper of a series dedicated to the study of Poisson structures of compact types (PMCTs). In this paper, we focus on regular PMCTs, exhibiting a rich transverse geometry. We show that their leaf spaces are integral affine orbifolds. We prove that the cohomology class of the leafwise symplectic form varies linearly and that there is a distinguished polynomial function describing the leafwise sympletic volume. The leaf space of a PMCT carries a natural Duistermaat-Heckman measure and a Weyl type integration formula holds. We introduce the notion of a symplectic gerbe, and we show that they obstruct realizing PMCTs as the base of a symplectic complete isotropic fibration (a.k.a. a non-commutative integrable system).
