Nontrivial exact fiber translation

ID: nontrivial-exact-fiber-translation

If is not identically zero, translating cotangent fibers by preserves the canonical symplectic form but changes the Liouville one-form by . Any positive-dimensional smooth manifold has a suitable nonconstant bump function in a chart. In dimension zero every differential one-form is zero, so this distinction cannot occur.
