Generalized contact bundles are odd-dimensional analogues of generalized complex manifolds. They have been introduced recently and very little is known about them. In this paper we study their local structure. Specifically, we prove a local splitting theorem similar to those appearing in Poisson geometry. In particular, in a neighborhood of a regular point, a generalized contact bundle is either the product of a contact and a complex manifold or the product of a symplectic manifold and a…

Ju n 20 18 Regular Jacobi Structures and Generalized Contact Bundles

A Jacobi structure J on a line bundle L→ M is weakly regular if the sharp map J : JL→ DL has constant rank. A generalized contact bundle with regular Jacobi structure possess a transverse complex…

Contact Dual Pairs

We introduce and study the notion of contact dual pair adopting a line bundle approach to contact and Jacobi geometry. A contact dual pair is a pair of Jacobi morphisms defined on the same contact…

We define gauge transformations of Jacobi structures on a manifold. This is related to gauge transformations of Poisson structures via the Poissonization. Finally, we discuss how the contact…

Normal forms for Dirac–Jacobi bundles and splitting theorems for Jacobi structures

The aim of this paper is to prove a normal form Theorem for Dirac–Jacobi bundles using a recent techniques of Bursztyn, Lima and Meinrenken. As the most important consequence, we can prove the…

Weak Dual Pairs in Dirac-Jacobi Geometry

Adopting the omni-Lie algebroid approach to Dirac–Jacobi structures, we propose and investigate a notion of weak dual pairs in Dirac–Jacobi geometry. Their main motivating examples arise from the…

Higher Omni-Lie Algebroids

We propose a definition of a "higher" version of the omni-Lie algebroid and study its isotropic and involutive subbundles. Our higher omni-Lie algebroid is to (multi)contact and related geometries…

Local structure of generalized complex manifolds

We study generalized complex manifolds from the point of view of symplectic and Poisson geometry. We start by showing that every generalized complex manifold admits a canonical Poisson structure. We…

Local classification of generalized complex structures

We give a local classification of generalized complex structures. About a point, a generalized complex structure is equivalent to a product of a symplectic manifold with a holomorphic Poisson…

Generalized contact structures

Using a Boothby-Wang construction bridging symplectic structures and contact structures, examples are found to demonstrate that, within the category of generalized contacts, classical contact structures have non-trivial deformations.

Abstract According to the Weinstein splitting theorem, any Poisson manifold is locally, near any given point, a product of a symplectic manifold with another Poisson manifold whose Poisson structure…
