A symplectic structure for cotangent bundle
Before that I mention my question explicitly, I start with my motivation:
Look at $\mathbb{D} \times \mathbb{C}=\{(x_{1},x_{2},y_{1},y_{2})\mid x_{1}^{2}+x_{2}^{2}< 1\}$.This can be identified ...

Cotangent bundle lift theorem
Let $M$ be a smooth manifold and $T^\ast M$ be its cotangent bundle. Consider the tautological 1-form $\theta$ on $T^\ast M$ ($\theta=\sum y_i dx^i$ in local canonical coordinate systems).
A ...

Symplectic forms and 1-forms [closed]
Suppose we have a real symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$. Under what conditions can we find a global 1-form $\alpha$ such that $\omega = \alpha \wedge\alpha$?
Obviously there are some simple ...

Co-normal bundle of orthogonal compliment
Is the following fact well known?
Let $X$ be a manifold and $V$ be a vector space. Let $E_1$ be a sub-bundle of the constant bundle $X \times V$. Let $E_2$ be its orthogonal compliment in $X \...

Functoriality of the cotangent bundle
Recall that to any manifold $X$, I can assign in a canonical way a manifold $\mathrm T ^* X$, the total space of the cotangent bundle over $X$. Recall also that, unlike the tangent bundle ...
