General geometric structures on manifolds (almost complex, almost product structures, etc.) (53C15) Almost contact and almost symplectic manifolds (53D15) Poisson manifolds; Poisson groupoids and algebroids (53D17)

Abstract: We define an almost--cosymplectic--contact structure which generalizes cosymplectic and contact structures of an odd dimensional manifold. Analogously, we define an almost--coPoisson--Jacobi structure which generalizes a Jacobi structure. Moreover, we study relations between these structures and analyse the associated algebras of functions. As examples of the above structures, we present geometrical dynamical structures of the phase space of a general relativistic particle, regarded as the 1st jet space of motions in a spacetime. We describe geometric conditions by which a metric and a connection of the phase space yield cosymplectic and dual coPoisson structures, in case of a spacetime with absolute time (a Galilei spacetime), or almost--cosymplectic--contact and dual almost--coPoisson--Jacobi structures, in case of a spacetime without absolute time (an Einstein spacetime).

Review text

This paper studies geometrical structures on the phase space of a space-time naturally induced by a metric and a phase connection. The authors first recall some standard structures; then introduce both an almost-cosymplectic-contact structure and an almost-coPoisson-Jacobi structure. These notions generalize the contact structure on a odd dimensional manifold and the Jacobi structure respectively. The general properties of these new structures are then studied. Examples are finally given. In particular, the authors present geometrical dynamical structures on the phase space of a general relativistic particle, regarded as the first jet space of motions in a spacetime.
