Abstract

Based on the Euler-Lagrange cohomology groups HEL(2k1)(M2n)(1kn)H_{EL}^{(2k-1)}({\cal M}^{2n}) (1 \leqslant k\leqslant n) on symplectic manifold (M2n,ω)({\cal M}^{2n}, \omega), their properties and a kind of classification of vector fields on the manifold, we generalize Liouville's theorem in classical mechanics to two sequences, the symplectic(-like) and the Hamiltonian-(like) Liouville's theorems. This also generalizes Noether's theorem, since the sequence of symplectic(-like) Liouville's theorems link to the cohomology directly.
