From time-dependent Hamiltonians to time-dependent symplectic/Poisson structures

Let $(M,\{.,.\})$ be a smooth Poisson manifold, and let $H\in C^\infty(M\times\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R})$. Question: Does there exist $H_0\in C^\infty(M,\mathbb{R})$ and smooth parameter-dependent Poisson ...

When the integrable system defines a moment map?

Assume $\mathcal{M}$ is a compact symplectic $2n$-dimensional manifold with a Hamiltonian action of the torus $\mathbb{T}^n$. Given a family of functions $F=(f_1,\ldots,f_n)$ defining an integrable ...

When lagrangian fibrations are equivalent?

Given a $2n$-dimensional symplectic manifold $\mathcal{M}$ and two different lagrangian fibrations $\pi_1:\mathcal{M}\rightarrow \Gamma_1$ and $\pi_2:\mathcal{M}\rightarrow \Gamma_2$, with $\Gamma_1, \...

Liouville-Arnold and fibration relative to a convex polytope

Liouville-Arnold's theorem indicates that given a Hamiltonian torus action on a manifold and a set of $n$ functions $F$ from the manifold to $\mathbb{R}^n$ defining an integrable system, the pre image ...

algebraic momentum map

Let $T$ be a linear algebraic torus over $\mathbb C$ and $X$ be a smooth quasi-projective symplectic $T$-variety. Also, assume that the action of $T $ is free and $X/T$ exists as a smooth variety. Is ...

Hamiltonian dynamics on cotangent bundle

I'm stuck with the following claim made in Section 13.1 of Y-G. Oh's book "Symplectic topology and Floer homology". Assume that $N$ is a differential manifold and $S_0 ,S_1\subseteq N$ two ...

Is there a notion of symplectic maps between spaces of volume forms on phase spaces?

For a $n$ dimensional smooth manifold $M$, I consider the cotangent bundle $T^*M$ with the canonical symplectic form $\omega$. A symplectic map $\phi : T^*M \to T^* M$ is a map which leaves the ...

How to check conditions for Liouville-Arnold theorem? [closed]

Arnold gives in his book "Mathematical Methods of Classical Mechanics" on p.272 the following, well known theorem: Let $F_1, \dots, F_n$ be $n$ functions in involution on a symplectic $2n$-...

Weinstein's local classification of Lagrangian foliations

In the paper "Symplectic manifolds and their Lagrangian submanifolds", Weinstein showed that locally all the Lagrangian foliations are symplectomorhic to the fiber foliation of a cotangent bundle. I ...

Computation with the Legendre Transform

Let $M$ be a manifold and fix a Lagrangian $L\in C^\infty(T M )$. Let $x_1,\dots x_n$ be local coordinates for $M$ and equip the tangent bundle and cotangent bundle with standard coordinates $(x_1,\...

Lifting a Diffeomorphism to the Cotangent Bundle

Both Abraham-Marsden and Da Silva seem to imply that given a symplectomorphism $g:T^\ast X\to T^\ast X$ which preserves the tautological $1$-form $\alpha$, it must be that $g$ is fibre preserving. ...
