Abstract

We show that a suitable notion of Dirac-Jacobi structure on a generic line bundle LL, is provided by Dirac structures in the omni-Lie algebroid of LL. Dirac-Jacobi structures on line bundles generalize Wade's E1(M)\mathcal E^1 (M)-Dirac structures and unify generic (i.e.~non-necessarily coorientable) precontact distributions, Dirac structures and local Lie algebras with one dimensional fibers in the sense of Kirillov (in particular, Jacobi structures in the sense of Lichnerowicz). We study the main properties of Dirac-Jacobi structures and prove that integrable Dirac-Jacobi structures on line-bundles integrate to (non-necessarily coorientable) precontact groupoids. This puts in a conceptual framework several results already available in literature for E1(M)\mathcal E^1 (M)-Dirac structures.
