Jacobi-Haantjes manifolds, integrability and dissipation

Abstract: The theory of Jacobi-Haantjes manifolds is proposed as a natural geometric framework useful to state the integrability of both conservative and dissipative Hamiltonian systems in a unified way. As a reduction, new structures such as contact-Haantjes and locally conformal symplectic-Haantjes manifolds are investigated. The main properties of these novel classes of manifolds and their mutual relationship are discussed. It is shown that the notion of Haantjes chains, within the framework of Jacobi geometry, is related to the existence of complete integrable contact Hamiltonian systems, encompassing also dissipative cases, as well as to the integrability of Hamiltonian systems on appropriate invariant submanifolds. Our framework naturally generalizes the formulation of integrable conservative Hamiltonian systems through the theory of symplectic-Haantjes (or {\omega}H) manifolds.
