New results on the linearization of Nambu structures
arXiv:1201.2219
Abstract
In a paper with Jean-Paul Dufour in 1999 \cite{DufourZung-Nambu1999}, we gave a classification of linear Nambu structures, and obtained linearization results for Nambu structures with a nondegenerate linear part. There was a case left open in \cite{DufourZung-Nambu1999}, namely the case of smooth linearization of Nambu structures with a Type 1 hyperbolic linear part which satisfies a natural signature condition. In this paper, we will show that such hyperbolic Nambu structures are also smoothly linearizable. We will also give a strong version of the analytic linearization theorem in the analytic case, improving a result obtained in \cite{DufourZung-Nambu1999}.
