Les isomorphismes infinitésimaux des tissus de codimension 1

We study local ($n+1$)-webs of codimension 1 on a manifold of dimension $n.$ We give a complete description of their possible Lie algebras of infinitesimal diffeomorphisms. More precisely we show that these Lie algebras are direct products of sub-algebras which are isomorphic to $\frak{sl}(2),$ to the non-commutative 2-dimensional Lie algebra or commutative. We give also a precise limitation of the number of such direct factors and examples.

Courbure des tissus planaires définis implicitement par une équation différentielle polynomiale en y'. Programmation

The aim of this paper is mainly, after some theoretical explanations, to provide a program on Maple for computing, whatever be d, the curvature of the planar d-web implicitely defined by a differential equation F(x,y,y')=0, F being polynomial of degree d with respect to y'. Moreover, we prove in the appendix a "concentration theorem" for any calibrated ordinary $d$-web of codimension one in n-dimensional manifold (in particular for any planar web). Its curvature matrix, relatively to an "adapted" trivialization, is concentrated on the (n-2+k0)!/(n-2)!k0! last lines (the last line if n=2), k0 denoting the integer such that d=(n-1+k0)!/(n-1)!(k0)!$.

Des séries de tissus ordinaires de rang maximum en toute dimension

In this paper, we define, from a finite set E of functions, a family of holomorphic webs ${\cal W}(n;E)$ of codimension one in any dimension $ n $. We prove that it is sufficient to check a finite number of conditions for these webs to be all ordinary and to have all maximal rank. Moreover, these conditions may be practically checked by computer with the program on Maple published in [DL](arXiv1408.3909v1, DG, 18 August 2014), the time of computation being acceptable, as far as some integer $k_0$ given in the data be "not too big".

Calcul explicite de la courbure des tissus calibrés ordinaires

We present a MAPLE program for the explicit computation of the curvature of calibrated ordinary webs in codimension one in any dimension (recall that all planar webs are calibrated and ordinary). The vanishing of this curvature means the maximality of the rank. We give some first examples.

Stability of higher order singular points of Poisson manifolds and Lie algebroids

We study the stability of singular points for smooth Poisson structures as well as general Lie algebroids. We give sufficient conditions for stability lying on the first (not necessarily linear) approximation of the given Poisson structure or Lie algebroid at a singular point. The main tools used here are the classical Lichnerowicz-Poisson cohomology and the deformation cohomology for Lie algebroids recently introduced by Crainic and Moerdijk. We also provide several examples of stable singular points of order $k \geq 1$ for Poisson structures and Lie algebroids. Finally, we apply our results to pre-symplectic leaves of Dirac manifolds.

Legendre transformation and lifting of multi-vectors

This paper has three objectives. First to recall the link between the classical Legendre-Fenschel transformation and a useful isomorphism between 1-jets of functions on a vector bundle and on its dual. As a particular consequence we obtain the classical isomorphism between the cotangent bundle of the tangent bundle $T^*TM$ and the tangent bundle of the cotangent bundle $TT^*M$ of any manifold $M.$ Secondly we show how to use this last isomorphism to construct the lifting of any contravariant tensor field on a manifold $M$ to the tangent bundle $TM$ which generalizes the classical lifting of vector fields. We also show that, in the antisymmetric case, this lifting respects the Schouten bracket. This gives a new proof of a recent result of Crainic and Moerdijk. Finally we give an application to the study of the stability of singular points of Poisson manifold and Lie algebroids.

On the local structure of Dirac manifolds

We give a local normal form for Dirac structures. As a consequence, we show that the dimensions of the pre-symplectic leaves of a Dirac manifold have the same parity. We also show that, given a point $m$ of a Dirac manifold $M$, there is a well-defined transverse Poisson structure to the pre-symplectic leaf $P$ through $m$. Finally, we describe the neighborhood of a pre-symplectic leaf in terms of geometric data. This description agrees with that given by Vorobjev for the Poisson case

Nondegeneracy of the Lie algebra aff(n)

We show that $\mathfrak{aff}(n)$, the Lie algebra of affine transformations of ${\mathbb R}^n,$ is formally and analytically nondegenerate in the sense of A. Weinstein. This means that every analytic (resp., formal) Poisson structure vanishing at a point with a linear part corresponding to $\mathfrak{aff}(n)$ is locally analytically (resp., formally) linearizable.

Nambu structures and integrable 1-forms

Some years ago Moshé Flato pointed up that it could be interesting to develop the Nambu's idea to generalize Hamiltonian mechanic. An interesting new formalism in that direction was proposed by T. Takhtajan. His theory gave new perspectives concerning deformation quantization, and many authors have developed its mathematical features. The purpose of this paper is to show that this theory, at first designated to physic, gives a new point of view for the study of singularities of integrable 1-forms. Namely, we will prove that any integrable 1-form which vanishes at a point and has a non-zero linear part at this point is, up to multiplication by a non-vanishing function, the formal pull-back of a two dimensional 1-form. We also obtain a classification of quadratic integrable 1-forms.
