It
is
with
great
pleasure
that
we
are
able
to
provide
the
reader
with
a
translation
of
Souriau's
elassical
text
"Structure
des
Systemes
Dy
namiques"
on
mechanics.
We
have
added
the
subtitle
"a
symplectic
view
of
physics",
which
is
elose
to
the
title
first
proposed
by
the
author.
Compared
to
the
French
version,
we
have
made
several
changes
in
nota
tion
for
the
English
edition,
all
of
which
have
the
author's
approval.
The
most
important
change
is
that
the
symbol
V'
for
the
exterior
derivative
of
differential
forms
has
been
replaced
by
the
symbol
d.
Consequently
in
order
to
avoid
confusion,
the
symbols
d,
d',
...
for
vector
fields
have
been
replaced
by
8,
8',
....
We
warn
the
reader
that
differential
forms
are
always
given
in
terms
of
their
action
on
tangent
vectors
and
not
in
2
terms
of
a
dual
basis.
We
use
this
opportunity
to
thank

all
the
computer
graphics.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
This
book
is
addressed
to
graduate
students
and
researchers
in
mathematics
and
physics
who
are
interested
in
mathematical
and
theoretical
physics,
symplectic
geometry,
mechanics,
and
(geometric)
quantization.
The aim of the book is to treat all three basic theories of physics, namely, classical mechanics, statistical mechanics, and quantum mechanics from the same perspective, that of symplectic geometry, thus showing the unifying power of the symplectic geometric approach. Reading this book will give the reader a deep understanding of the interrelationships between the three basic theories of physics.
The first tow chapters provide the necessary mathematical background in differential geometry, Lie groups, and symplectic geometry. In Chapter 3 a coherent symplectic description of Galilean and relativistic mechanics is given, culminating in the classification of elementary particles (relativistic and non-relativistic, with or without spin, with or without mass). In Chapter 4 statistical mechanics is put into symplectic form, finishing with a symplectic description of the kinetic theory of gases and the computation of specific heats. Finally, in Chapter 5 the author presents his theory of geometric quantization. Highlights of this chapter are the derivations of various wave equations and the construction of the Fock space.
