Talk:Symplectic form

Reverted because this page is not called "canonical symplectic form", but just "symplectic form". - Momotaro 12:43, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Should this be redirected to Symplectic vector space instead of Symplectic manifold? The prior is what I was expecting to find and actually references the term in the article, while the latter does not. Padicgroup 22:09, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Redirect or disambiguation?
In the literature, a symplectic form can be either a non-degenerate alternating bilinear form on a vector space or a non-degenerate alternating tensor field on a differentiable manifold. I believe that the second is more common, but that the first is common enough that changing the redirect to a DAB page with links to


 * Symplectic manifold
 * Symplectic vector space
 * Canonical symplectic form

would be better than changing the redirect target.
