Two versions of hamiltonian reduction
Given a symplectic manifold $X$ with nice $G$ action, equivariant momentmap $\mu$ and
invariant $\chi \in \mathfrak{g}^*$ which is a regular value of $\mu$.
There are two ways to form the Hamiltonia …

Classical mechanics motivation for poisson manifolds?
Suppose I want to understand classical mechanics.
Why should I be interested in arbitrary poisson manifolds and not just in symplectic ones?
What are examples of systems best described by non sympl …

What is a symplectic form intuitively?
Hi,
to completely describe a classical mechanical system, you need to do three things:
-Specify a manifold $X$, the phase space. Intuitively this is the space of all possible states of your system.
