The content consists of three parts. First, the introductory chapters briefly recall some fundamental concepts of exterior algebra, exterior systems and introduce a rather special particular case, the \(k\)-symplectic exterior systems (see below). Second, the middle chapters are devoted to common elementary topics of exterior differential systems: the Frobenius and Darboux theorems are discussed, moreover the Engel invariant and the Gardner inequalities are derived, finally, the local classification of generic Pfaffian systems on \(\mathbb{R}^n\) \((n\geq 5)\) is mentioned following the well-known Cartan's achievements. (Unfortunately, the more advanced topics as involutivity, prolongations, moving frames, and so like, are passed over.) Third, the concluding part of the book concerns a large spectrum of interesting topics: \(k\)-symplectic and almost \(k\)-symplectic manifolds and Lie groups, the relevant \(k\)-symplectic mechanics including the generalized Hamiltonian systems and momentum mappings, \(k\)-symplectic affine and \(G\)-spaces, a succinct but clear account on the de Rham theorem to the extent needful for the \(k\)-symplectic prequantization. The main novelty concerns the concepts of \(k\)-symplectic geometry, a common generalization both of the foliations (Frobenius) and of the symplectic structure (Darboux). We restrict to the algebraical aspects. Let \(E\) be an \(n(k+1)\)-dimensional vector space, \(F\subset E\) an \(n\)-codimensional linear subspace, \(\vartheta^i\) \((i=1, \dots,k)\) linearly independent 2-forms on \(E\). If identically \(\vartheta^i(X,Y) =0\) \((X,Y\in F)\) holds true and moreover the identities \(\vartheta^i(X,.)=0\) imply \(X=0\), then we speak of a \(k\)-symplectic system \(\vartheta^1,\dots,\vartheta^k\) associated to \(F\). If follows easily that \(\vartheta^i=\Sigma\omega^{ij}\wedge\mu^j\), where the equations \(\omega^j =0\) \((j=1, \dots,k)\) determine the subspace \(F\subset E\) and \(\omega^{ij} (i=1, \dots,n\); \(j=1,\dots,k)\) are certain linearly independent forms. Passing to the geometry and analysis, tangent spaces of a manifold stand for \(E\), tangent spaces of an \(n\)-dimensional foliation determine \(F\), and closed exterior differential 2-forms are taken for \(\vartheta^1, \dots, \vartheta^k\) (they admit the same canonical shape as stated above).
