We study the irreducible decomposition under Sp(2n, R) of the space of torsion tensors of almost symplectic connections. Then a description of all symplectic quadratic invariants of torsion-like tensors is given. When applied to a manifold M with an almost symplectic structure, these instruments give preliminary insigh…

Study investigates Hamiltonian systems in fibered almost-symplectic manifolds.

Let $(M,ω)$ be an almost symplectic manifold ($ω$ is a non degenerate, not closed, 2-form). We say that a vector field $X$ of $M$ is locally Hamiltonian if $L_Xω=0,d(i(X)ω)=0$, and it is Hamiltonian if, furthermore, the 1-form $i(X)ω$ is exact. Such vector fields were considered in a 2007 paper by F. Fasso and N. Sanso…

We disproving Seifert's conjecture for almost symplectic foliations with co-dimension bigger or equal to 3.

In this paper we study $4$-dimensional affine hypersurfaces with a Lorentzian second fundamental form additionally equipped with an almost symplectic structure $ω$. We prove that the rank of the shape operator is at most one if $R^k\cdot ω=0$ or $\nabla^kω=0$ for some positive integer $k$. This result is the final step…

In this note we discuss conditions under which a linear connection on a manifold equipped with both a symmetric (Riemannian) and a skew-symmetric (almost-symplectic or Poisson) tensor field will preserve both structures.

We study a sequence of connections which is associated with a Riemannian metric and an almost symplectic structure on a manifold. We prove that if this sequence is trivial (i.e. constant) or 2-periodic, then the manifold has a canonical Kähler structure.

The paper classifies affine hypersurfaces with symplectic structures and constraints on their curvature.

A locally conformally symplectic (LCS) form is an almost symplectic form $ω$ such that a closed one-form $θ$ exists with $dω= θ\wedge ω$. We present a version of the well-known result of Darboux and Weinstein in the LCS setting and give an application concerning Lagrangian submanifolds.

This paper simplifies complex nonholonomic systems using momentum map reduction.

We study the Morse-Novikov cohomology and its almost-symplectic counterpart on manifolds admitting locally conformally symplectic structures. More precisely, we introduce lcs cohomologies and we study elliptic Hodge theory, dualities, Hard Lefschetz Condition. We consider solvmanifolds and Oeljeklaus-Toma manifolds. In…

We consider the problem of constructing Poisson brackets on smooth manifolds $M$ with prescribed Casimir functions. If $M$ is of even dimension, we achieve our construction by considering a suitable almost symplectic structure on $M$, while, in the case where $M$ is of odd dimension, our objective is achieved by using …

We describe three perspectives on higher quantization, using the example of magnetic Poisson structures which embody recent discussions of nonassociativity in quantum mechanics with magnetic monopoles and string theory with non-geometric fluxes. We survey approaches based on deformation quantization of twisted Poisson …

One (actually, almost the only effective) way to prove formality of a differentiable manifold is to be able to produce a suitable derivation $δ$ such that $dδ$-lemma holds. We first show that such derivation $δ$ generates a (1,1)-tensor field (we denote it by $R$). Then, we show that the supercommutation of $d$ and $δ$…

We formulate a kinematical extension of Double Field Theory on a $2d$-dimensional para-Hermitian manifold $(\mathcal{P},η,ω)$ where the $O(d,d)$ metric $η$ is supplemented by an almost symplectic two-form $ω$. Together $η$ and $ω$ define an almost bi-Lagrangian structure $K$ which provides a splitting of the tangent bu…

In this work we investigate Ricci flows of almost Kaehler structures on Lie algebroids when the fundamental geometric objects are completely determined by (semi) Riemannian metrics, or effective) regular generating Lagrange/ Finsler, functions. There are constructed canonical almost symplectic connections for which the…

The goal of this paper is to encode equivalently the fractional Lagrange dynamics as a nonholonomic almost Kahler geometry. We use the fractional Caputo derivative generalized for nontrivial nonlinear connections (N-connections) originally introduced in Finsler geometry, with further developments in Lagrange and Hamilt…

We study the relations between the projective and the almost conformally symplectic structures on a smooth even dimensional manifold. We describe these relations by a single almost conformally symplectic connection with totally trace--free torsion sharing the geodesics (up to parametrization) with the projective class.…

This paper studies hamiltonization of nonholonomic systems using geometric tools. By making use of symmetries and suitable first integrals of the system, we explicitly define a global 2-form for which the gauge transformed nonholonomic bracket gives rise to a new bracket on the reduced space codifying the nonholonomic …

A locally conformally symplectic (LCS) form is an almost symplectic form $ω$ such that a closed one-form $θ$ exists with $dω=θ\wedgeω$. A fiber bundle with LCS fiber $(F, ω,θ)$ is called LCS if the transition maps are diffeomorphisms of $F$ preserving $ω$ (and hence $θ$). In this paper, we find conditions for the total…

In 1972, K. Kenmotsu studied a class of almost contact Riemannian manifolds. Later, such a manifold was called a Kenmotsu manifold. This paper, we studied Kenmotsu manifolds with $(2n+s)$-dimensional $s-$contact metric manifold and this manifold, we have called generalized Kenmotsu manifolds. Necessary and sufficient c…

A selfsimiar manifold is a Riemannian manifold $\left(M,g\right)$ endowed with a homothetic vector field $ξ$. We characterize global selfsimilar manifolds and describe the structure of local selfsimilar manifolds. We prove that any selfsimilar manifold with a potential homothetic vector field is a conical Riemannian ma…

We prove their main properties and we present many examples which justify their study.
