Abstract Canonical structure of classical field theory in n dimensions is studied within the covariant polymomentum Hamiltonian formulation of De Donder-Weyl (DW). The bi-vertical (n + 1)-form, called polysymplectic, is put forward as a generalization of the symplectic form in mechanics. Although not given in intrinsic geometric terms differently than a certain coset, it gives rise to the invariantly defined map between horizontal forms playing the role of dynamical variables and the so-called… CONTINUE READING
