I recently came across a mathematical field called complex analysis.
There was an important equation called Cauchy-Riemann equation.
When I saw it at first, I recalled a book's sentence stating that
A: Why did we substitute the Newtonian equations with that efforts?
B: It's because it is beautiful in terms of mathematics.
Hamilton's canonical equation is good because it is beautiful (in terms of mathematics)
From a Quantum mechanics book.
It was dqdt=∂H∂p−dpdt=∂H∂q.
Doesn't this look similar to the Cauchy-Riemann equation? (Integrating u makes v and vice versa.)
I guess the reason is of something like the CR equation.
So my question is:
Is there any relationship between complex analysis and Hamilton's canonical equation?
Answer
Comments to the post (v5):
Complex structures and symplectic structures can co-exist, notably for Kähler manifolds.
For the canonical Poisson structure {z,z} = 0,{ˉz,z} = i,{ˉz,ˉz} = 0,
in complex coordinates z = q+ip√2,the holomorphic condition read 0 = ˉ∂f = i{z,f},which is equivalent to the Cauchy-Riemann equations.
