Elements of (Super-)Hamiltonian Formalism

  • Chapter
Supersymmetric Mechanics – Vol. 1

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Physics ((LNP,volume 698))

Abstract

In these lectures we discuss some basic aspects of Hamiltonian formalism, which usually do not appear in standard textbooks on classical mechanics for physicists. We pay special attention to the procedure of Hamiltonian reduction illustrating it by the examples related to Hopf maps. Then we briefly discuss the supergeneralization(s) of the Hamiltonian formalism and present some simple models of supersymmetric mechanics on Kähler manifolds.
