Multiplicative Dirac structures on Lie groups. (English. Abridged French version) Zbl 1163.53052

One introduces the notion of multiplicative Dirac structure on a Lie group \(G\) and investigates some of its basic properties. Specifically, a Dirac structure \(L\) on \(G\) is multiplicative if \(L\) is a subgroupoid of \(TG\oplus T^*G\). In the special case of Poisson structures, one recovers the notion of Poisson Lie group. In the general case, one proves that a regular involutive distribution on \(TG\) induces a multiplicative Dirac structure if and only if it is defined by a normal subgroup of \(G\). One then uses this property in order to study the characteristic foliation and the multiplicative Poisson structure on the corresponding leaf space for a multiplicative Dirac structure on \(G\).
