Observations on the Darboux coordinates for rigid special geometry
2006
We exploit some relations which exist when (rigid) special geometry is formulated in real symplectic special coordinates $P^I=(p^\Lambda,q_\Lambda), I=1,...,2n$. The central role of the real $2n\times 2n$ matrix $M(\Re \mathcal{F},\Im \mathcal{F})$, where $\mathcal{F} = \partial_\Lambda\partial_\Sigma F$ and $F$ is the holomorphic prepotential, is elucidated in the real formalism. The property $M\Omega M=\Omega$ with $\Omega$ being the invariant symplectic form is used to prove several identities in the Darboux formulation. In this setting the matrix $M$ coincides with the (negative of the) Hessian matrix $H(S)=\frac{\partial^2 S}{\partial P^I\partial P^J}$ of a certain hamiltonian real fun…
Star calculus on Jacobi manifolds
2002
Abstract We study the Gerstenhaber bracket on differential forms induced by the two main examples of Jacobi manifolds: contact manifolds and l.c.s. manifolds. Moreover, we obtain explicit expressions of the generating operators and the derivations on the algebra of multivector fields. We define star operators for contact manifolds and l.c.s. manifolds and we study some of its properties.
