Jacobi Identity for Poisson Brackets: A Concise Proof

Classical Physics 2007-05-23 v4 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

In view of the recent interest in a short proof of the Jacobi identity for the Poisson-brackets, we provide an alternative simple proof for the same. Our derivation is based on the validity of the Leibnitz rule in the context of dynamical evolution.
