Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

The fundamental form of a Kähler manifold is symplectic.

How to interpret this relation type

Pass canonically from a stronger object to structure it determines, or forget part of the data while retaining a valid weaker structure. The carrier may change under a canonical induced construction.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Add a differential 2-form that is closed and nondegenerate.

How to interpret this relation type

Equip an existing carrier or structured object with additional chosen data, when such compatible data exists. Use a construction junction when several independently meaningful inputs must coexist on the same carrier or interact compatibly.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Supplying a smooth function HH on a symplectic manifold determines the Hamiltonian vector field by ιXHω=dH\iota_{X_H}\omega=\mathrm dH up to the declared sign convention, and hence a local Hamiltonian evolution; global evolution additionally requires completeness.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Hamiltonian mechanics is naturally formulated on symplectic manifolds, whose symplectic form defines Hamiltonian vector fields and Poisson brackets.

How to interpret this relation type

A mathematical concept supplies part of the formal language, state space, representation, or analytic machinery used by a scientific or mathematical-physics concept. The source is the mathematical predecessor; this does not claim that physical content follows from mathematics alone.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Hamiltonian phase spaces are symplectic manifolds or appropriate generalizations.

Authored explanation

The inverse bivector of a symplectic form defines a Poisson bracket.
