Review text

A Nambu-Poisson structure of degree \(q\) on a manifold \(M\) is alternatively defined by a multibracket of \(q\) functions or a \(q\)-vector field. The multibracket satisfies the fundamental identity, and this condition can be conveniently expressed by the vanishing of the Schouten-Nijenhuis bracket of the \(q\)-vector field with itself. Nambu-Poisson structures are the natural higher degree versions of Poisson brackets. In other direction, the natural extension of a Jacobi structure is a Nambu-Jacobi structure. A Nambu-Jacobi structure is given by a pair of multivector fields \((Q,P)\), of degrees \(q\) and \(q-1\), respectively. Therefore, Nambu-Jacobi structures are natural extensions of Jacobi brackets. In the present paper the authors study the foliations associated with a Nambu-Jacobi structure. The results permit them to give many examples of Nambu-Jacobi manifolds.
