  Abstract:
For a real Hilbert space (H,〈,〉), a subspace LHH is said to be a Dirac structure on H if it is maximally isotropic with respect to the pairing 〈(x,y),(x′,y′)〉+=[1/2] (〈x,y′〉+〈x′,y〉). Investigating some basic properties of these structures, it is shown that Dirac structures on H are in one-to-one correspondence with isometries on H, and any two Dirac structures are isometric. It is also proved that any Dirac structure on a smooth manifold in the sense of [1] yields a Dirac structure on some Hilbert space. The graph of any densely defined skew symmetric linear operator on a Hilbert space is also shown to be a Dirac structure. For a Dirac structure L on H, every zH is uniquely decomposed as z=p1(l)+p2(l) for some lL, where p1 and p2 are projections. When p1 (L) is closed, for any Hilbert subspace WH, an induced Dirac structure on W is introduced. The latter concept has also been generalized.
