 Solution

To match the printed order $df/dt=\{H,f\}$, define the Poisson bracket with the sign conventionHamilton's equations imply $\dot{f}={\sum }_i(f_{q_i}{H}_{p_i}-f_{p_i}{H}_{q_i})=\{H,f{\}}_{\mathrm{paper}}$. With the other common Poisson bracket convention the correct statement is instead $\dot{f}=\{f,H{\}}_{\mathrm{standard}}$. For example $H=p^2/(2m)$, $f=q$ gives $\{H,q{\}}_{\mathrm{standard}}=-p/m$, contradicting the printed order unless its sign convention is adopted. Since $H_t=0$ and $\{H,H\}=0$, the Hamiltonian is conserved. Also ${\dot{p}}_{\varphi }=-H_{\varphi }=0$: this canonical momentum is the axial angular momentum.
