In this paper, we develop holomorphic Jacobi structures. Holomorphic Jacobi manifolds are in one-to-one correspondence with certain homogeneous holomorphic Poisson manifolds. Furthermore, holomorphic Poisson manifolds can be looked at as special cases of holomorphic Jacobi manifolds. We show that holomorphic Jacobi str…

We present a holomorphic representation of the Jacobi algebra $\mathfrak{h}_n\rtimes \mathfrak{sp}(n,\R)$ by first order differential operators with polynomial coefficients on the manifold $\mathbb{C}^n\times \mathcal{D}_n$. We construct the Hilbert space of holomorphic functions on which these differential operators a…

We study the holomorphic unitary representations of the Jacobi group based on Siegel-Jacobi domains. Explicit polynomial orthonormal bases of the Fock spaces based on the Siegel-Jacobi disk are obtained. The scalar holomorphic discrete series of the Jacobi group for the Siegel-Jacobi disk is constructed and polynomial …

It is proved that all invariant functions of a complex Finsler manifold can be totally recovered from the torsion and curvature of the connection introduced by Kobayashi for holomorphic vector bundles with complex Finsler structures. Equations of the geodesics and Jacobi fields of a generic complex Finsler manifold, ex…

This paper bridges Kahler geometry and quantum mechanics in lognormal statistical models.

Let $\mathcal{N}$ be the space of Gaussian distribution functions over $\mathbb{R}$, regarded as a 2-dimensional statistical manifold parameterized by the mean $μ$ and the deviation $σ$. In this paper we show that the tangent bundle of $\mathcal{N}$, endowed with its natural Kähler structure, is the Siegel-Jacobi space…

It is proven that a local Lie algebra in the sense of A. A. Kirillov determines the base manifold up to a diffeomorphism provided the anchor map is nowhere-vanishing. In particular, the Lie algebras of nowhere-vanishing Poisson or Jacobi brackets determine manifolds. This result has been proven for different types of d…

The paper defines new modular forms from almost complex manifolds and derives anomaly cancellation formulas.

We show that Jacobi fields along harmonic maps between suitable spaces preserve conformality, holomorphicity, real isotropy and complex isotropy to first order; this last being one of the key tools in the proof by Lemaire and the author of integrability of Jacobi fields along harmonic maps from the 2-sphere to the comp…

Infinitesimal holomorphic realizations for the Schrödinger-Weil representation and the discrete series representations of the Jacobi group are constructed. Explicit expressions of the basic differential operators are obtained. The squeezed states for the unitary irreducible representation of the Jacobi group are introd…

The generalized coherent states attached to the Jacobi group realize the squeezed states. Imposing hermitian conjugacy to the generators of the Jacobi algebra, we find out the form of the weight function appearing in the scalar product. We show effectively the orthonormality of the base functions with respect to the sc…

Study on null-torsion holomorphic curves in 6-sphere, focusing on their second variation.

We study twisted Jacobi manifolds, a concept that we had introduced in a previous Note. Twisted Jacobi manifolds can be characterized using twisted Dirac-Jacobi, which are sub-bundles of Courant-Jacobi algebroids. We show that each twisted Jacobi manifold has an associated Lie algebroid with a 1-cocycle. We introduce t…

Study Godbillon-Vey class for regular Jacobi foliations.

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 the structures induced on their base manifolds are related via a quasi Poissoniza…

Paper introduces stochastic HJB on Jacobi structures.

In this paper we define a Grassmann odd analogue of Jacobi structure on a supermanifold. The basic properties are explored. The construction of odd Jacobi manifolds is then used to reexamine the notion of a Jacobi algebroid. It is shown that Jacobi algebroids can be understood in terms of a kind of curved Q-manifold, w…

New algebraic framework for Jacobi manifolds connects geometric mechanics and dimensional analysis.

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 generalized Lie bialgebroid of a Jacobi manifold $(M,Λ,E)$ for which 1 is an admiss…

Defines compatibility between Jacobi structures and pseudo-Riemannian metrics on Jacobi algebroids.

The connection between Jacobi fields and odular structures of affine manifold is established. It is shown that the Jacobi fields generate the natural geoodular structure of affinely connected manifolds.

Lichnerowicz-Jacobi cohomology and homology of Jacobi manifolds are reviewed. We present both in a unified approach using the representation of the Lie algebra of functions on itself by means of the hamiltonian vector fields. The use of the associated Lie algebroid allows to prove that the Lichnerowicz-Jacobi cohomolog…

We reformulate the notion of a Jacobi algebroid in terms of weighted odd Jacobi brackets. We then show how a Jacobi algebroid can be understood in terms of a kind of curved Q-manifold. In particular the homological condition on the odd vector field is deformed in a very specific way. This leads to the notion of a quasi…

Introduces partial Jacobi manifolds in convenient spaces.

We exhibit several families of Jacobi-Videv pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which are not Einstein. We also exhibit Jacobi-Videv algebraic curvature tensors where the Ricci operator defines an almost complex structure.

We present a simple way of generating the infinite set of Jacobi tensors, compatible with a given one, via the "gauge transformations" of the functions on Jacobi manifold. We consider also some applications of this result to the construction of bi-Hamiltonian systems on Jacobi manifolds.

We study the characteristic foliation of a twisted Jacobi manifold. We show that a twisted Jacobi manifold is foliated into leaves that are, according to the parity of the dimension, endowed with a twisted contact or a twisted locally conformal symplectic structure.

In this paper, for a Jacobi algebroid $A$, by introducing the notion of Jacobi quasi-Nijenhuis algebroids, which is a generalization of Poisson quasi-Nijenhuis manifolds introduced by Stiénon and Xu, we study generalized complex structures on the Courant-Jacobi algebroid $A\oplus A^*$, which unifies generalized complex…

Defines Dirac pairs on Jacobi algebroids, generalizing Lie algebroids.

A super-conformal map and a minimal surface are factored into a product of two maps by modeling the Euclidean four-space and the complex Euclidean plane on the set of all quaternions. One of these two maps is a holomorphic map or a meromorphic map. These conformal maps adopt properties of a holomorphic function or a me…

New integrators preserve geometric structure in Hamiltonian systems.

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 Jacobi manifolds. This correspondence allows us to reinterpret the Poissonization p…

We study the geometry of pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which are Jacobi--Tsankov, i.e. J(x)J(y)=J(y)J(x) for all tangent vectors x and y. We also study manifolds which are 2-step Jacobi nilpotent, i.e. J(x)J(y)=0 for all tangent vectors x and y.

We characterize Riemannian manifolds of constant sectional curvature in terms of commutation properties of their Jacobi operators.

New method finds vector fields with maximal Jacobi operator rank in manifolds.

New characterization of Osserman tensors using Jacobi-orthogonality.

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 (following mainly Iglesias-Marrero and Grabowski-Marmo as a guideline). This formalism…

We present an approach to Jacobi and contact geometry that makes many facts, presented in the literature in an overcomplicated way, much more natural and clear. The key concepts are Kirillov manifolds and linear Kirillov structures, i.e., homogeneous Poisson manifolds and, respectively, homogeneous linear Poisson manif…

New theory extends Hamilton-Jacobi for contact systems, ensuring integrability.

We introduce the concept of twisted contact groupoids, as an extension either of contact groupoids or of twisted symplectic ones, and we discuss the integration of twisted Jacobi manifolds by twisted contact groupoids. We also investigate the very close relationships which link homogeneous twisted Poisson manifolds wit…
