Almost symplectic manifold - Misplaced Pages

In differential geometry, an almost symplectic structure on a differentiable manifold $M$ is a two-form $\omega$ on $M$ that is everywhere non-singular. If in addition $\omega$ is closed then it is a symplectic form.

An almost symplectic manifold is an Sp-structure; requiring $\omega$ to be closed is an integrability condition.
