model co-isotropic submanifold Just as the zero section in $T^*\mathbb{R}^N$ (equipped with the standard symplectic form) is the "model" / "quintessential" Lagrangian submanifold, does $T^*\mathbb{R}^N$ have a "model" co-isotropic submanifold?
 A: Let $(M, \Omega)$ be a presymplectic manifold and let $E \longrightarrow M$ be the characteristic bundle of $(M, \Omega)$, defined fiberwise by
$$E_x = \{v \in T_x M : \Omega_x(v, -) = 0\}.$$
If $E^\ast$ denotes the dual bundle to $E$, then we have the following classification theorem.

Theorem. There exists a symplectic structure $\omega$ on a neighborhood $U$ of the zero section of $E^\ast$. $(M, \Omega)$ is coisotropically embedded in $(U, \omega)$ as the zero section, and furthermore all coisotropic embeddings of $(M, \Omega)$ into a symplectic manifold are neighborhood equivalent to this embedding.

The presymplectic form $\Omega$ specifies what the pullback of $\omega$ to $M$ is. For a Lagrangian embedding, $\Omega \equiv 0$ and hence $E^\ast = T^\ast M$, and we recover the fact that the zero section of $T^\ast M$ is the canonical model for a Lagrangian embedding of $M$ into a symplectic manifold.
