Nambu structures are a generalization of Poisson structures in Hamiltonian dynamics, and it has been shown recently by several authors that, outside singular points, these structures are locally an exterior product of commuting vector fields. Nambu structures also give rise to co-Nambu differential forms, which are a natural generalization of integrable 1-forms to higher orders. This work is devoted to the study of Nambu tensors and co-Nambu forms near singular points. In particular, we give a classification of linear Nambu structures (integral finite-dimensional Nambu-Lie algebras), and a linearization of Nambu tensors and co-Nambu forms, under the nondegeneracy condition.
