Variational principle and phase space measure in non-canonical coordinates
Alessandro Sergi
Abstract
Non-canonical equations of motion are derived from a variational principle written in symplectic form. The invariant measure of phase space and the covariant expression for the entropy are derived from non-canonical transformations of coordinates. This shows that the geometry of non-canonical phase space is non trivial even if dynamics has no compressibility.
