Extract

The phase space of a finite dimensional classical Hamiltonian system is a C∞ differentiable manifold M which carries a C∞ differential 2-form ω which is closed, dω = 0, and non-singular in the sense that there is a bijective map α→ Xα from covariant vector fields to contravariant vector fields satisfying the identity

Such a pair (M, μ) is called a symplectic manifold.
