The notion of a generalized Lie bialgebroid (a generalization of the notion of a Lie bialgebroid) is introduced in such a way that a Jacobi manifold has associated a canonical generalized Lie bialgebroid. As a kind of converse, we prove…

We generalize Poisson-Nijenhuis structures. We prove that on a manifold endowed with a Nijenhuis tensor and a Jacobi structure which are compatible, there is a hierarchy of pairwise compatible Jacobi structures. Furthermore, we study the…

First we introduce the notion of parallel structure Jacobi operator for real hypersurfaces in the complex quadric $Q^m = SO_{m+2}/SO_mSO_2$ . Next we give a complete classification of real hypersurfaces in $Q^m = SO_{m+2}/SO_mSO_2$ with…

We study quasi-Jacobi and Jacobi-quasi bialgebroids and their relationships with twisted Jacobi and quasi Jacobi manifolds. We show that we can construct quasi-Lie bialgebroids from quasi-Jacobi bialgebroids, and conversely, and also that…

The notion of homogeneous tensors is discussed. We show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between multivector fields on a manifold $M$, homogeneous with respect to a vector field $\Delta$ on $M$, and first-order polydifferential…

In this paper we define a Grassmann odd analogue of Jacobi structure on a supermanifold. The basic properties are explored. The construction of odd Jacobi manifolds is then used to reexamine the notion of a Jacobi algebroid. It is shown…

Jacobi algebroids (i.e. `Jacobi versions' of Lie algebroids) are studied in the context of graded Jacobi brackets on graded commutative algebras. This unifies varios concepts of graded Lie structures in geometry and physics. A method of…

We propose a systematic framework for constructing geometric integrators for Hamiltonian systems on Jacobi manifolds. By combining Poissonization of Jacobi structures with homogeneous symplectic bi-realizations, Jacobi dynamics are lifted…

Jacobi structures are known to generalize Poisson structures, encompassing symplectic, cosymplectic, and Lie-Poisson manifolds. Notably, other intriguing geometric structures -- such as contact and locally conformal symplectic manifolds --…
