Trigonometric type-two canonical transformation

ID: trigonometric-type-two-canonical-transformation

The type-two generating function for a canonical transformation defines and . On any branch with and , its inverse in mixed coordinates is
The square root equals on this branch. Differentiating proves the generating equations, and proves local invertibility by the inverse function theorem. Also , so the symplectic form obeys . This proves the transformation is canonical locally. It is not a single global chart across the inverse-trigonometric branch boundaries.
Since is independent of time, the transformed Hamiltonian is obtained by substitution, with zero generating-function time correction. An added function of time alone is an irrelevant Hamiltonian freedom, since it leaves Hamilton's equations unchanged.
