Similarly,ℜ, ℜn will denote respectively, the real line and the n-dimensional real vector space, t ∈ ℜ will denote the time parameter.
, M, N,… will denote differentiable-manifolds of dimension n which are locally Euclidean and will denote respectively the tangent and cotangent bundles of M with dimensions 2n. Moreover, π and π⋆ will denote the natural projections T M → M and T
