The Hamiltonian flow of solvesCompactness and the absence of a boundary make this smooth vector field complete, so the flow exists for all real . The defining equation and Cartan's magic formula giveTherefore the pullback of a differential form differentiation rule yieldsso . Pullback commutes with the wedge product of differential forms, and consequentlyThus the flow preserves the symplectic volume, in fact the entire symplectic form.
