Basic Notions of Poisson and Symplectic Geometry in Local Coordinates, with Applications to Hamiltonian Systems
This work contains a brief and elementary exposition of the foundations of Poisson and symplectic geometries, with an emphasis on applications for Hamiltonian systems with second-class constraints. In particular, we clarify the geometric meaning of the Dirac bracket on a symplectic manifold and prov...
