Review text

The author makes a little review on some geometrical structures underlying mechanics, in general, mathematical physics. The natural setting for classical mechanics is symplectic geometry, then he introduces two important generalizations to do ``mechanics of symplectic structures, Poisson structures and locally conformal symplectic structures (or more generally, Jacobi structures).NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0958.00041].
