The definition and properties of the Euler-Lagrange cohomology groups $H^{2k-1}$, $1 \leqslant k \leqslant n$, on a symplectic manifold $({\cal M}^{2n},\omega)$ are given and studied. For $k = 1$ and $k = n$, they are isomorphic to the…

This paper extends the flux homomorphism to volume-preserving homeomorphisms. A surprising $(C^0, \delta)-$rigidity result where the extended flux groups coincide with the standard flux group is proved. The introduced tools, which also…

Classical Hamiltonian mechanics, characterized by a single conserved Hamiltonian (energy) and symplectic geometry, `hides' other invariants into symmetries of the Hamiltonian or into the kernel of the Poisson tensor. Nambu mechanics aims to…

Elementary sub-Riemannian geometry on the Heisenberg group H(n) provides a compact picture of symplectic geometry. Any Hamiltonian diffeomorphism on $R^{2n}$ lifts to a volume preserving bi-Lipschitz homeomorphisms of H(n), with the use of…

Liouville's theorem -- the preservation of phase-space volume -- is often presented as a corollary of Hamilton's canonical equations. Here we adopt an ensemble-first viewpoint in which the starting point is local probability conservation on…
