We first recall some basic definitions and facts about Jacobi manifolds, generalized Lie bialgebroids, generalized Courant algebroids and Dirac structures. We establish an one-one correspondence between reducible Dirac structures of the…

We use local symplectic Lie groupoids to construct Poisson integrators for generic Poisson structures. More precisely, recursively obtained solutions of a Hamilton-Jacobi-like equation are interpreted as Lagrangian bisections in a…

This note gives an overview on the construction of symplectic groupoids as reduced phase spaces of Poisson sigma models and its generalization in the infinite dimensional setting (before reduction).

We start by describing the relationship between the classical prequantization condition and the integrability of a certain Lie algebroid associated to the problem and use this to give a global construction of the prequantizing bundle in…

In the context of Synthetic Differential Geometry, we describe a notion of higher connection with values in a cubical groupoid. We do this by exploiting a certain structure of cubical complex derived from the first neighbourhood of the…

This work reviews the classical Darboux theorem for symplectic, presymplectic, and cosymplectic manifolds (which are used to describe regular and singular mechanical systems), and certain cases of multisymplectic manifolds, and extends it…

Using contact homology, we reobtain some recent results of Geiges and Gonzalo about the fundamental group of the space of contact structures on some 3-manifolds. We show that our techniques can be used to study higher dimensional contact…

In this work we study B-field transformations of multiplicative Poisson bivectors on a Lie groupoid G. We are concerned with B-fields given by multiplicative closed 2-forms on G. We view Poisson groupoids and their B-field symmetries as…

Geometric optics is analysed using the techniques of Presymplectic Geometry. We obtain the symplectic structure of the space of light rays in a medium of a non constant refractive index by reduction from a presymplectic structure, and using…

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…

We study complex Dirac structures, that is, Dirac structures in the complexified generalized tangent bundle. These include presymplectic foliations, transverse holomorphic structures, CR-related geometries and generalized complex…

Consider a holomorphic contact manifold. Holomorphic discs tangent to the contact planes define a pseudometric on the manifold. This pseudometric integrates to a pseudodistance. When the pseudodistance is a distance, we call the contact…

We establish a relation between higher contact-like structures on supermanifolds and the N = 1 super-Poincare group via its superspace realisation. To do this we introduce a vector-valued contact structure, which we refer to as a…

In this paper, we introduce and characterize a class of parabolically extended structures for relatively hyperbolic groups. A characterization of relative quasiconvexity with respect to parabolically extended structures is obtained using…

This paper develops new aspects of the interplay between shifted symplectic geometry and classical Poisson geometry, focusing on lagrangian morphisms into 2-shifted symplectic groups. We establish a Lie-type correspondence between such…

We use the supergeometric formalism, more precisely, the so-called "big bracket" (for which brackets and anchors are encoded by functions on some graded symplectic manifold) to address the theory of Jacobi algebroids and bialgebroids…

We propose a novel approach to contact Hamiltonian mechanics which, in contrast to the one dominating in the literature, serves also for non-trivial contact structures. In this approach Hamiltonians are no longer functions on the contact…

We present groupoid morphisms as an algebraic structure for nonautonomous dynamics, as well as a generalization of group morphisms, which describe classic dynamical systems. We introduce the structure of cotranslations, as a specific kind…

The contact structure of two meromorphic curves gives a factorization of their jacobian.

In this contribution we review some of the interplay between sigma models in theoretical physics and novel geometrical structures such as Lie (n-)algebroids. The first part of the article contains the mathematical background, the definition…
