symplectic transformations
Symplectic transformations refer to transformations that preserve the symplectic structure of a mathematical space, often in the context of Hamiltonian mechanics. These transformations conserve the volume of phase space and maintain the fundamental properties of the system, such as energy conservation and Hamilton's equations of motion.
