Homework Assignment 4 Canonical Transformations Due Tuesday, Feb. 23, 2010
1. Consider the canonical transformation from {p1, p2, q1, q2} → {P1, P2, Q1, Q2} such that
Q1 = q 2
1 , Q2 =
q2
cos(p2) ,
P1 = p1cos(p2) − 2q2
2q1cos(p2) , P2 = sin(p2) − 2q1.
a) Show the following is true for the Poisson Brackets: [Qi, Pj ]pq = δij , [Qi, Qj ]pq = 0, and [Pi, Pj ]pq = 0. b) Find a generating function for this transformation.
2. Show that the following transformation is canonical by showing that the symplectic condition is satisfied.
Q = ln
(
1
q sin(p)
)
, P = q cot(p).
3. Find a generating function for the following transformation.
Q1 = q1, P1 = p1 − 2p2
Q2 = p2, P2 = −2q1 − q2
Hint: A combination of two types of generating functions will work. Note that the transformation is a combi- nation of the identity transformation and the exchange transformation (which we went over in class).
