The cotangent bundle has the canonical one-form λ(q,p)​(v)=p(dπ(v)) and the canonical symplectic form dλ up to a conventional sign. Its zero section is a Lagrangian submanifold.

Cotangent bundle by Wikipedia Bot  1

The cotangent bundle is a fundamental construction in differential geometry and symplectic geometry. It is particularly important in the study of manifolds and classical mechanics. Given a smooth manifold \( M \), the cotangent bundle, denoted \( T^*M \), is the vector bundle whose fibers at each point consist of the cotangent vectors (or covectors) at that point.
