Geometry from Dynamics, Classical and Quantum

by Jose F. Carinena, Giuseppe Marmo, Giuseppe Morandi, et al.

Book Overview

This book describes, by using elementary techniques, how some geometrical structures widely used today in many areas of physics, like symplectic, Poisson, Lagrangian, Hermitian, etc., emerge from dynamics. It is assumed that what can be accessed in actual experiences when studying a given system is just its dynamical behavior that is described by using a family of variables ("observables" of the system). The book departs from the principle that ''dynamics...
