We consider a local algebra A (in the sense of Andr\'e Weil), M a smooth paracompact manifold and M^{A} the manifold of infinietly near points on M of kind A. In this paper, we define and study the notions of A-Jacobi structures on M^{A}.

We study the higher order Jacobi operator in pseudo-Riemannian geometry. We exhibit a family of manifolds so that this operator has constant Jordan normal form on the Grassmannian of subspaces of signature (r,s) for certain values of (r,s).…

We show that $L_{\infty}$-algebroids, understood in terms of Q-manifolds can be described in terms of certain higher Schouten and Poisson structures on graded (super)manifolds. This generalises known constructions for Lie (super)algebras…

The standard formulation of Jacobi manifolds in terms of differential operators on line bundles, although effective at capturing most of the relevant geometric features, lacks a clear algebraic interpretation similar to how Poisson algebras…

We define a new kind of algebroid which fulfills a Leibniz rule, a Jacobi identity twisted by a 3-form $H$ with values in the kernel of the anchor map, and the twist is closed under a naturally occurring exterior covariant derivative. We…

We consider the moduli space of abelian varieties with two marked points and a frame of the relative de Rham cohomolgy with boundary at these points compatible with its mixed Hodge structure. Such a moduli space gives a natural…

We study generalized Lie bialgebroids over a single point, that is, generalized Lie bialgebras. Lie bialgebras are examples of generalized Lie bialgebras. Moreover, we prove that the last ones can be considered as the infinitesimal…

We introduce some basic concepts for Jacobi-Jordan algebras such as: representations, crossed products or Frobenius/metabelian/co-flag objects. A new family of solutions for the quantum Yang-Baxter equation is constructed arising from any…

We define Dirac pairs on Jacobi algebroids, which is a generalization of Dirac pairs on Lie algebroids introduced by Kosmann-Schwarzbach. We show the relationship between Dirac pairs on Lie and on Jacobi algebroids, and that Dirac pairs on…

We define an almost--cosymplectic--contact structure which generalizes cosymplectic and contact structures of an odd dimensional manifold. Analogously, we define an almost--coPoisson--Jacobi structure which generalizes a Jacobi structure.…

In this paper, we give a survey of a geometrical theory of Jacobi forms of higher degree. And we present some geometric results and discuss some geometric problems to be investigated in the future.

We show how the relation between $Q$-manifolds and Lie algebroids extends to ``higher'' or ``non-linear'' analogs of Lie algebroids. We study the identities satisfied by a new algebraic structure that arises as a replacement of operations…

We prove a special case of a conjecture of Davison which pertains to superpotential descriptions of fundamental group algebras $k[\pi_1(X)]$. We consider the case in which the manifold $X$ is the mapping torus $M_{g, \varphi}$ of a genus…

Jacobi sigma models are two-dimensional topological non-linear field theories which are associated with Jacobi structures. The latter can be considered as a generalization of Poisson structures. After reviewing the main properties and…

A Koszul-Vinberg manifold is a generalization of a Hessian manifold, and their relation is similar to the relation between Poisson manifolds and symplectic manifolds. Koszul-Vinberg structures and Poisson structures on manifolds extend to…

The Grassmann-odd Nambu-like brackets corresponding to an arbitrary Lie superalgebra and realized on the supermanifolds are proposed.

We discuss some properties of Jacobi fields that do not involve assumptions on the curvature endomorphism. We compare indices of different spaces of Jacobi fields and give some applications to Riemannian geometry.

Let $J(\pi)$ be the higher order Jacobi operator. We study algebraic curvature tensors where $J(\pi)J(\pi^{\perp})=J(\pi^{\perp})J(\pi)$. In the Riemannian setting, we give a complete characterization of such tensors; in the…

In this paper we introduce the notion of infinite dimensional Jacobi structure to describe the geometrical structure of a class of nonlocal Hamiltonian systems which appear naturally when applying reciprocal transformations to Hamiltonian…

For a given Jacobi-Jordan algebra $A$ and a vector space $V$ over a field $k$, a non-abelian cohomological type object ${\mathcal H}^{2}_{A} \, (V, \, A)$ is constructed: it classifies all Jacobi-Jordan algebras containing $A$ as a…
