Poisson modules and degeneracy loci

In this paper, we study the interplay between modules and sub-objects in holomorphic Poisson geometry. In particular, we define a new notion of “residue ” for a Poisson module, analogous to the Poincare ́ residue of a meromorphic volume form. Of particular interest is the interaction between the residues of the canonical line bundle of a Poisson manifold and its degeneracy loci—where the rank of the Poisson structure drops. As an application, we provide new evidence in favour of Bondal’s conjecture that the rank ≤ 2k locus of a Fano Poisson manifold always has dimension ≥ 2k + 1. In particular, we show that the conjecture holds for Fano fourfolds. We also apply our techniques to a family of Poisson structures defined by Fĕıgin and Odesskĭı, where the degeneracy loci are given b
