A closed degenerate differential 2-form of constant rank
In mathematical physics, especially geometric mechanics, a presymplectic form is a closed differential 2-form of constant rank on a manifold.[1] It is a generalization of symplectic form, which is a closed, nondegenerate, differential 2-form.[2]
Lack of nondegeneracy, leading to presymplectic forms, occurs in dynamical systems with singular Lagrangians, Hamiltonian systems with constraints and control theory.[3]
The definition is not standardized. Recently, Hajduk and Walczak defined a presymplectic form as a closed, differential 2-form, of maximal rank on a manifold of odd dimension.[4]
