Fibrewise translation and dilation of a cotangent bundle #

This file records how two families of fibre-preserving diffeomorphisms of the cotangent bundle T*M = TauCeti.CotangentBundle I M act on its Liouville form λ and on its canonical symplectic form ω = -dλ. Both cover the identity of M, and both are instances of general vector-bundle constructions.

Composing a fibre translation with a cotangent lift gives the affine symplectomorphisms of cotangent bundles. For a diffeomorphism h : M → N and a one-form α on N, the cotangent lift of h followed by τ_α pulls λ_N back to λ_M + π^*(h^*α) (Diffeomorph.mpullback_cotangent_trans_vectorBundleTranslateDiffeomorph_liouvilleForm), hence pulls ω_N back to ω_M when α is closed (Diffeomorph.mpullback_cotangent_trans_vectorBundleTranslateDiffeomorph_symplecticForm).

The cotangent projection pulls forms back injectively, because it has the zero section as a smooth right inverse (TauCeti.SmoothForm.mpullback_proj_injective); this turns the identity τ_α^*ω = ω - π^*dα into the closedness criterion. These maps are the global versions of the linear-model maps TauCeti.cotangentFiberNeg and TauCeti.cotangentFiberTranslate; the latter translates by -σ, following the magnetic convention, whereas τ_α translates by +α.

Action on the Liouville form #

Fibre translation shifts the Liouville form. Translating the fibres of the cotangent bundle by a one-form α pulls the Liouville form back to λ + π^*α.

Fibre dilation rescales the Liouville form. Multiplying the fibres of the cotangent bundle by a nonzero real number c pulls the Liouville form back to c • λ.

Action on the canonical symplectic form #

Fibre translation shifts the canonical symplectic form. Translating the fibres of the cotangent bundle by a one-form α pulls the canonical symplectic form back to ω - π^*dα.

Fibre dilation rescales the canonical symplectic form. Multiplying the fibres of the cotangent bundle by a nonzero real number c pulls the canonical symplectic form back to c • ω. In particular the fibre negation reverses ω.

Fibre translation by a closed one-form is symplectic. Translating the fibres of the cotangent bundle by a one-form α preserves the canonical symplectic form exactly when α is closed.

Cotangent lifts followed by fibre translations #

A cotangent lift followed by a fibre translation shifts the Liouville form. For a smooth diffeomorphism h : M → N and a one-form α on N, the cotangent lift of h followed by the translation of the fibres of T*N by α pulls the Liouville form of T*N back to λ_M + π^*(h^*α).

A cotangent lift followed by a closed fibre translation is symplectic. For a smooth diffeomorphism h : M → N and a closed one-form α on N, the cotangent lift of h followed by the translation of the fibres of T*N by α pulls the canonical symplectic form of T*N back to that of T*M.
