Using the adjoint representations of Lie algebras, we classify all Jacobi structures on real two- and three-dimensional Lie groups. Also, we study Jacobi-Lie systems on these real low-dimensional Lie groups. Our results are illustrated…

We present a systematic treatment of line bundle geometry and Jacobi manifolds with an application to geometric mechanics that has not been noted in the literature. We precisely identify categories that generalise the ordinary categories of…

We analyze the relationship between the covering of the Jacobi group and the squeezed states. We attach some nonclassical states to the Jacobi group. The matrix elements of the Jacobi group are presented.

We introduce a bracket on 1-forms defined on ${\cal J}^{\infty}(S^1, \mathbb{R}^n)$, the infinite jet extension of the space of loops and prove that it satisfies the standard properties of a Poisson bracket. Using this bracket, we show that…

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…

We consider a hierarchy of Poisson structures defined on rational functions on the Riemann sphere. This hierarchy is originated in the theory of the integrable Camassa-Holm equation associated with the Krein's string spectral problem.…

We study a number of local and global classification problems in generalized complex geometry. In the first topic, we characterize the local structure of generalized complex manifolds by proving that a generalized complex structure near a…

Recently it has been shown that antibrackets may be expressed in terms of Poisson brackets and vice versa for commuting functions in the original bracket. Here we also introduce generalized brackets involving higher antibrackets or higher…

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 use this fact, together with Weinstein's…

We consider a general formalism for treating a Hamiltonian (canonical) field theory with a spatial boundary. In this formalism essentially all functionals are differentiable from the very beginning and hence no improvement terms are needed.…

The notion of a Jacobi manifold is a natural generalization of that of a Poisson manifold. A Jacobi manifold has a natural foliation in which each leaf has either a contact structure or a locally conformal symplectic structure. In this…

We detail the construction of a weak Poisson bracket over a submanifold of a smooth manifold M with respect to a local foliation of this submanifold. Such a bracket satisfies a weak type Jacobi identity but may be viewed as a usual Poisson…

In this note the long standing problem of the definition of a Poisson bracket in the framework of a multisymplectic formulation of classical field theory is solved. The new bracket operation can be applied to forms of arbitary degree.…

We study contact structures on nonnegatively-graded manifolds equipped with homological contact vector fields. In the degree 1 case, we show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between such structures (with fixed contact form) and…

In this paper we construct a non-skewsymmetric version of a Poisson bracket on the algebra of smooth functions on an odd Jacobi supermanifold. We refer to such Poisson-like brackets as Loday-Poisson brackets. We examine the relations…

The unimodularity condition for a Poisson structure (ie., a Poisson structure with a trivial modular class) induces a Poincar\'e duality between its Poisson homology and its Poisson cohomology. Therefore an information about the Poisson…

We study affine Jacobi structures on an affine bundle $\pi:A\to M$, i.e. Jacobi brackets that close on affine functions. We prove that there is a one-to-one correspondence between affine Jacobi structures on $A$ and Lie algebroid structures…

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,…

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 new four-dimensional family of skew-symmetric solutions of the Jacobi equations for Poisson structures is characterized. As a consequence, previously known types of Poisson structures found in a diversity of physical situations appear to…
