Symplectic Diffeomorphism


A map T:(M_1,omega_1)->(M_2,omega_2) between the symplectic manifolds (M_1,omega_1) and (M_2,omega_2) which is a diffeomorphism and T^*(omega_2)=omega_1, where T^* is the pullback map induced by T (i.e., the derivative of the diffeomorphism T acting on tangent vectors). A symplectic diffeomorphism is also known as a symplectomorphism or canonical transformation.
