Abstract
dc:description"Symplectic (not necessarily Riemannian) foliations have a transversely symplectic structure for which many standard results of symplectic geometry have their transverse analogues: the dual bundle to the transverse bundle of a foliation is a manifold with a canonical symplectic foliation, the Darboux theorem may be established, basic (holonomy invariant) functions may be regarded as transverse Hamiltonian functions for which Hamiltonian ""vector fields"" are holonomy invariant classes of vector fields in the transverse bundle, and this structure induces a holonomy invariant Poisson bracket structure on the space of basic functions."
