Finally, we discuss how the contact structure of a contact groupoid is effected by a gauge transformation of the Jacobi structure on its base.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-01-20T14:08:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "17B63", "53C15", "53D17" ], "keywords": [ "gauge transformation", "jacobi structure", "contact groupoid", "contact structure" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
