Multisymplectic groupoids, a higher-degree generalization of symplectic groupoids, are presented. Recalling that Poisson structures may be viewed as infinitesimal counterparts of symplectic groupoids, we describe ``higher'' versions of Poisson structures by identifying the infinitesimal counterparts of multisymplectic groupoids. Some basic examples and features are discussed, in particular, how they appear in the description Lie-Poisson reduction in field theories. |
