Abstract: This paper explains the fundamental relation between Jacobi structures and the classical Spencer operator coming from the theory of PDEs so as to provide a direct and geometric approach to the integrability of Jacobi structures. It uses recent results on the integrability of Spencer operators and multliplicative forms on Lie groupoids with non-trivial coefficients. In Theorem 1 we show that the Spencer operator associated to a contact groupoid reveals that the base manifold carries a Jacobi structure. Theorem 2 deals with the problem of integrating Jacobi structures to contact groupoids.

Review text

This paper is related to the relationship between multiplicative forms with coefficients on Lie groupoids and Spencer operators. The authors use the Pfaffian systems on Lie groupoids, which are the main objects of the paper. The main results of the paper are given by three theorems. Theorem 1 is an integrability result. It is given the precise relationship between the classical Cartan forms and Spencer operators. Theorem 2 is the dual of Theorem 1 in the case of 1-forms. And finally, Theorem 3 presents a characterization to be involutive of multiplicative distributions.
