A Poisson manifold $(M^{2n},\p)$ is $b$-symplectic if $\bigwedge^n\p$ is transverse to the zero section. In this paper we apply techniques native to Symplectic Topology to address questions pertaining to $b$-symplectic manifolds. We provide constructions of $b$-symplectic structures on open manifolds by Gromov's $h$-principle, and of $b$-symplectic manifolds with a prescribed singular locus, by means of surgeries.
A surface $Σ$ endowed with a Poisson tensor $π$ is known to admit a canonical integration $\mathcal{G}(π)$, which is a 4-dimensional manifold with a (symplectic) groupoid structure. In this short note we show that when $π$ is not an area form on the 2-sphere, then $\mathcal{G}(π)$ is diffeomorphic to the cotangent bundle $T^*Σ$, this extending results in \cite{Ma09} and \cite{BCST12}.
We obtain universal models for several types of locally conformal symplectic manifolds via pullback or reduction. The relation with recent embedding results for locally conformal Kähler manifolds is discussed.
