Let $(M, \{.,.\})$ be a Poissonmanifold and $B$ the corresponding Poissontensor. Now in this context, a embedded submanifold $C \subset M$ is called coisotropic, if $B^\#(TC^\circ) \subset TC$.


For embedded submanifolds it is just the same as to say:


for $f,g \in C^\infty(M)$ with $f|\_C= g|\_C=0$ we have $\{f,g\}|\_C=0$.


Now having a Poissonbracket, I'll restrict myself to a symplectic leaf $S \subset M$, so we get a symplectic form $\omega$ on $S$. 


Now if $C$ is coisotropic as submanifold of $S$ in the symplectic case, do I know, that $C$ is also coisotropic in $M$ in the Poisson-case?


In my special case, I'm working on the dual of a liealgebra (so $\mathfrak{g}$ is the liealgebra and $\mathfrak{g}^\*$ the dual) and have the Lie-Poisson-bracket, i.e.
$\{f,g\}(\alpha) = <\alpha, [d\_\alpha f, d\_\alpha g]>$
with $\alpha \in \mathfrak{g}^\*$, the canonical identification of $(\mathfrak{g}^\*)^\* \cong \mathfrak{g}$ and $[.,.]$ the Liebracket on $\mathfrak{g}$. 


If $G$ is a Liegroup with that Liealgebra $\mathfrak{g}$, then the coadjoint-orbits on $\mathfrak{g}^\*$ are symplectic manifolds. So if $S$ is such an orbit, and $C$ is a submanifold of this orbit, which is a coisotropic submanifold of $S$, does that imply, that $C$ is a coisotropic submanifold of $M$?



coisotropic submanifolds on poisson manifolds
The answer is 'Yes', at least with some additional transversality conditions.


Corollary (1.2.6) in Weinstein's [Coisotropic calculus and Poisson groupoids](https://projecteuclid.org/euclid.jmsj/1230129807) states that



> 
> Let $M$ be a submanifold of the Poisson manifold $P$ which has clean intersection with each symplectic leaf of $P$. Then $M$ is coisotropic if and only if its intersection with each symplectic leaf is coisotropic in $P$, or, equivalently, in the symplectic leaf.
