The main goal of this paper is to generalize this result to the quasi-Poisson case. We also study the behavior of quasi-Poisson homogeneous spaces under twisting. Some examples of quasi-Poisson homogeneous spaces and corresponding Lagrangian subalgebras are also provided. [FullText-pdf (177 KB)] for subscribers only. |
