We consider principal fibre bundles with a given connection and construct almost complex structures on the total space if the adjoint bundle is isomorphic to the tangent bundle of the base. We derive the integrability condition. If the…

Stokes-Dirac structures are infinite-dimensional Dirac structures defined in terms of differential forms on a smooth manifold with boundary. These Dirac structures lay down a geometric framework for the formulation of Hamiltonian systems…

In previous work (arXiv:2205.12067), we defined a notion of a generalized Sasakian structure in the context of generalized contact geometry, the odd dimensional analogue of generalized complex geometry introduced by Hitchin and Gualtieri.…

Coupling Dirac structures are Dirac structures defined on the total space of a fibration, generalizing hamiltonian fibrations from symplectic geometry, where one replaces the symplectic structure on the fibers by a Poisson structure. We…

We put into light some generalized almost quaternionic and almost para-quaternionic structures and characterize their integrability with respect to a $\nabla$-bracket on the generalized tangent bundle $TM\oplus T^*M$ of a smooth manifold…

The goal of this work is to extend Dirac-type tensor equations to a curved space. We take four 1-forms (a tetrad) as a unique structure, which determines a geometry of space-time.

In this paper the notion of Dirac structure in finite dimension is extended to the convenient setting. In particular, we introduce the notion of partial Dirac structure on convenient Lie algebroids and manifolds. We then look for those…

In this paper we generalize the main notions from the geometry of (almost) contact manifolds in the category of Lie algebroids. Also, using the framework of generalized geometry, we obtain an (almost) contact Riemannian Lie algebroid…

In this paper we are concerned with completely integrable Hamiltonian systems in the setting of contact geometry. Unlike the symplectic case, contact structures are automatically Hamiltonian. Using the Jacobi brackets defined on contact…

The main purpose of this paper is to show the existence of action-angle variables for integrable Hamiltonian systems on Dirac manifolds under some natural regularity and compactness conditions, using the torus action approach. We show that…

Generalised spin structures, or r-spin structures, on a 2-dimensional orbifold \Sigma are r-fold fibrewise connected coverings (also called r-th roots) of its unit tangent bundle ST\Sigma. We investigate such structures on hyperbolic…

We establish a parametric extension $h$-principle for overtwisted contact structures on manifolds of all dimensions, which is the direct generalization of the $3$-dimensional result from \cite{Eli89}. It implies, in particular, that any…

We introduce the notion of twisted generalized complex submanifolds and describe an equivalent characterization in terms of Poisson-Dirac submanifolds. Our characterization recovers a result of Vaisman. An equivalent characterization is…

Main topic of the paper is the determination, for a compact complex manifold $M$, of the class of manifolds $X$ which are deformation equivalent to it. If $M$ is a complex torus, then also $X$ is so. After describing the structure of…

A stable generalized complex structure is one that is generically symplectic but degenerates along a real codimension two submanifold, where it defines a generalized Calabi-Yau structure. We introduce a Lie algebroid which allows us to view…
