Abstract:
In this paper, we study weak-
(p,k) 
-Dirac structures. Firstly, the definitions of a
\wedge ^p-1T^*M 
-value pairing and a higher Dorfman bracket on the generalized direct sum bundle
TM\oplus\wedge ^pT^*M 
is given. Secondly, the weak
-(p,k) 
-Lagrangian subspace which has more properties than the
(p,k) 
-Lagrangian subspace is constructed. Finally, we define the weak-
(p,k) 
-Dirac structure on smooth manifold
M
. Many examples of weak-
(p,k) 
-Dirac structure is given. The higher analogue of Courant tensor is discovered.
