A construction of the bi-Hamiltonian structures for integrable systems on regular time scales is presented. The trace functional on an algebra of $\delta$-pseudo-differential operators, valid on an arbitrary regular time scale, is…

We introduce a notion of compatibility between (almost) Dirac structures and (1,1)-tensor fields extending that of Poisson-Nijenhuis structures. We study several properties of the "Dirac-Nijenhuis" structures thus obtained, including their…

Naturally reductive spaces, in general, can be seen as an adequate generalization of Riemannian symmetric spaces. Nevertheless, there are some that are closer to symmetric spaces than others. On the one hand, there is the series of Hopf…

Let G be a Lie group and g its Lie algebra. We develop a theory of quasi Poisson structures relative to a not necessarily non-degenerate Ad-invariant symmetric 2-tensor in the tensor square of g and one of general not necessarily…

We extend the Jacobi structure from $TQ\times \mathbb{R}$ and $T^{*}Q \times \mathbb{R}$ to $A\times \mathbb{R}$ and $A^{*}\times \mathbb{R}$, respectively, where $A$ is a Lie algebroid and $A^{*}$ carries the associated Poisson structure.…

We show that under certain technical assumptions any weakly nonlocal Hamiltonian structure compatible with a given nondegenerate weakly nonlocal symplectic structure $J$ can be written as the Lie derivative of $J^{-1}$ along a suitably…

We construct Poisson structures for Ermakov systems, using the Ermakov invariant as the Hamiltonian. Two classes of Poisson structures are obtained, one of them degenerate, in which case we derive the Casimir functions. In some situations,…

We show that Jacobi fields along harmonic maps between suitable spaces preserve conformality, holomorphicity, real isotropy and complex isotropy to first order; this last being one of the key tools in the proof by Lemaire and the author of…

An outline of the basic Riemannian structures underlying the separation of variables in the Hamilton-Jacobi equation of natural Hamiltonian systems.

We study the holonomy that is associated to a sub-Riemannian structure defined on the kernel of a global contact form. This includes the holonomy of Schouten's horizontal connection as well as of the adapted connection, both canonical…

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 structure of a contact groupoid is effected by a…

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 extend the correspondence between Poisson maps and actions of symplectic groupoids, which generalizes the one between momentum maps and hamiltonian actions, to the realm of Dirac geometry. As an example, we show how hamiltonian…

We study 5-dimensional Riemannian manifolds that admit an almost contact metric structure. We classify these structures by their intrinsic torsion and review the literature in terms of this scheme. Moreover, we determine necessary and…

This paper describes the theory of Jacobi curves, a far reaching extension of the spaces of Jacobi fields along Riemannian geodesics, developed by Agrachev and Zelenko. Jacobi curves are curves in the Lagrangian Grassmannian of a symplectic…

In this note we show that given an exact QS-manifold (a natural generalisation of an exact Poisson manifold) one can associate a family of odd Jacobi structures on the same underlying supermanifold.
