Topics in Symplectic Geometry

Poisson manifolds, examples, Local structure (Weinstein’s “splitting” theorem, transverse structure, the linearization problem), symplectic foliation; Symplectic realizations and Lie groupoids.
Courant algebroids and Dirac structures. Supergeometric viewpoint: symplectic N-graded manifolds, homological vector fields.
Introduction to “shifted” symplectic structures.
