- Description
- In this work we develop a geometric formalism for constrained Hamiltonian systems. Using a symplectic projector, we can write the Dirac bracket of two functions as the Poisson bracket of the projected function on a submanifold defined by a local basis of 1-forms. This approach yields in a natural way all properties associated to a generalized symplectic structure.
