Reduction of pre-Hamiltonian actions

Abstract: We prove a reduction theorem for the tangent bundle of a Poisson manifold $(M, \pi)$ endowed with a pre-Hamiltonian action of a Poisson Lie group $(G, \pi_G)$. In the special case of a Hamiltonian action of a Lie group, we are able to compare our reduction to the classical Marsden-Ratiu reduction of $M$. If the manifold $M$ is symplectic and simply connected, the reduced tangent bundle is integrable and its integral symplectic groupoid is the Marsden-Weinstein reduction of the pair groupoid $M \times \bar{M}$.
