Resumen

The infinite dimensional phase space of the Vlasov equation is foliated by symplectic manifolds (leaves) which are invariant under the dynamics. By adopting a Lie transform representation, exp{W, }, for near-identity canonical transformations we obtain a local coordinate system on a leaf. The evolution equation defined by restricting the Vlasov equation to the leaf is approximately represented by the evolution of W. We derive the equation for ∂tW and show that it is hamiltonian relative to the nondegenerate Kirillov-Kostant-Souriau symplectic structure.
