In Nambu mechanics, a straightforward consequence of symmetry is just a relative integral invariant, a differential form which only upon integration over a cycle provides a conserved real number. The origin of the difference may be traced back to a shift in degrees of relevant forms present in equations of motion, or, alternatively, to a corresponding shift in degrees of relevant objects in action integral for Nambu mechanics.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-06-25T13:57:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "45.20.Jj" ], "keywords": [ "nambu mechanics", "conserved quantity", "relevant objects", "hamiltonian mechanics", "relevant forms" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AIP", "journal": "Journal of Mathematical Physics", "year": 2013, "month": "Oct", "volume": 54, "number": 10, "pages": 2901 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013JMP....54j2901F" } } }
