Phase Space Transformation Analysis

This document discusses the canonical transformation between position-momentum coordinates (x,y,px,py) and action-angle coordinates (r,θ,pr,pθ) for a 2D central force problem. It provides the transformation equations and shows that the Jacobian determinant is 1, indicating the transformation is canonical. It then extends this to 3D central force problems, giving the additional transformation to azimuthal angle φ and its conjugate momentum pφ.
