On a Poisson space of bilinear forms with a Poisson Lie action

We consider the space of bilinear forms on a complex N-dimensional vector space endowed with the quadratic Poisson bracket studied in our previous paper arXiv:1012.5251. We classify all possible quadratic brackets on the set of pairs of matrices A and B with the property that the natural action of B on the defining matrix A of a bilinear form is a Poisson action of a Poisson-Lie group, thus endowing this space of bilinear forms with the structure of Poisson homogeneous space. Beside the product Poisson structure we find two more (dual to each other) structures for which (in contrast to the product Poisson structure) we can implement the reduction to the space of bilinear forms with block upper triangular defining matrices by Dirac procedure. We consider the generalisation of the above construction to triples and show that the space of bilinear forms then acquires the structure of Poisson symmetric space. We study also the generalisation to chains of transformations and to the quantum and quantum affine algebras and the relation between the construction of Poisson symmetric spaces and that of the Poisson groupoid.
