Abstract

We formulate the non-commutative integrability of contact systems on a contact manifold (M,H)(M,\mathcal H) using the Jacobi structure on the space of sections Γ(L)\Gamma(L) of a contact line bundle LL. In the cooriented case, if the line bundle is trivial and H\mathcal H is the kernel of a globally defined contact form α\alpha, the Jacobi structure on the space of sections reduces to the standard Jacobi structure on (M,α)(M,\alpha). We therefore treat contact systems on cooriented and non-cooriented contact manifolds simultaneously. In particular, this allows us to work with dissipative Hamiltonian systems where the Hamiltonian does not have to be preserved by the Reeb vector field.
