de Leon, Manuel; Martín de Diego, David Almost product structures and Poisson reduction of presymplectic systems. (English) Zbl 0892.58032 Extr. Math. 10, No. 1, 37-45 (1995). The authors associate to an almost product structure \(F\) adapted to a presymplectic structure a bracket which satisfies all the properties of a Poisson bracket except the Jacobi identity. It is shown that the Jacobi identity is equivalent with the integrability of \(F\). Then, an integrable almost product structure yields a Poisson structure which is used to obtain a Poisson reduction.
