The Lie Algebra Structure of Degenerate Hamiltonian and Bi-Hamiltonian Systems

The Lie Algebra Structure of Degenerate Hamiltonian and Bi-Hamiltonian Systems

A generalization of Noether's theorem is obtained via an extension of the well-known Poisson bracket formalism. It is shown that degenerate closed forms yield Lie algebra homomorphisms between vector fields and covector fields. A similar result holds for operators working in the opposite way. Application of these Lie algebra homomorphisms …
