When is the gradient of a Hamiltonian function a Liouville vector field?
Let $(M, \omega)$ be a symplectic manifold, $H$ a Hamiltonian function on $M$, $Y = H^{-1}(c)$ for a regular value $c$, and $J$ a compatible almost complex structure.
If $X_H$ is the Hamiltonian vect …

Why are Lagrangian submanifolds called Lagrangian?
Much of the terminology in symplectic geometry comes from classical mechanics: the symplectic manifold is modeled on a cotangent bundle $T^*N$ of some configuration space $N$ with local position coord …
