Symmetries and Reduction -- part I -- Poisson and symplectic picture

Mathematical Physics 2021-08-13 v2 High Energy Physics - Theory math.MP Symplectic Geometry

Abstract

Coherently with the principle of analogy suggested by Dirac, we describe a general setting for reducing a classical dynamics, and the role of the Noether theorem -- connecting symmetries with constants of the motion -- within a reduction. This is the first of two papers, and it focuses on the reduction within the Poisson and the symplectic formalism.
