Abstract

Let MM be a smooth manifold of dimension 2n2n, and let OMO_{M} be the dense open subbundle in 2TM\wedge^{2}T^{\ast}M of 22-covectors of maximal rank. The algebra of DiffM\operatorname*{Diff}M-invariant smooth functions of first order on OMO_{M} is proved to be isomorphic to the algebra of smooth Sp(Ωx)Sp(\Omega_{x})-invariant functions on 3TxM\wedge^{3}T_{x}^{\ast}M, xx being a fixed point in MM, and Ωx\Omega_{x} a fixed element in (OM)x(O_{M})_{x}. The maximum number of functionally independent invariants is computed.
