Energy as a function on tangent bundle

85 Views Asked by At

I've been reading the Quantum Mechanics for Mathematicians book by Leon A. Takhtajan. On p. 15 (which is p. 29 in the PDF file), he introduces the energy $E = \sum_i \dot q^i\frac{\partial L}{\partial \dot q^i} - L$ of a Lagrangian system and claims that $E$ is well defined as a function from $TM \times \mathbb{R}$, where $M$ is the configuration space, $TM$ is the tangent bundle, and $\mathbb R$ the time axis. To "prove" this, he takes two arbitrary charts on $M$ (as opposed to $TM$) and the corresponding coordinate transformation $\mathbf{q'} = F(\mathbf{q})$. He extends $F$ to a coordinate transformation on $TM$ using the tangent map $F_*$ and concludes that the energy $E$ is invariant under the extended transformation, and so the function $E: TM \times \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ is well defined since the result does not depend on the coordinate representation of the argument.

Problem is: THIS IS NOT A PROOF, as it only proves the claim for one special case. Should we be starting with an arbitrary coordinate transformation on $TM \times \mathbb{R}$ instead?

I tried to find an answer online but couldn't. So, my questions are:

  1. Is $E$ really well defined as a function on $TM \times \mathbb{R}$, as the book claims?

  2. Is there an online source that gives the correct proof of this fact?

To simplify the question: I am aware that the Lagrangian $L: TM\times \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ is well defined, so it's the sum $\sum_i \dot q^i \frac{\partial L}{\partial \dot q^i}$ that worries me.
