A symplectic structure is a smooth, closed, non-degenerate 2-form defined on a smooth manifold, providing a geometric framework for the study of Hamiltonian mechanics. This structure allows one to analyze the behavior of dynamical systems and plays a crucial role in defining the phase space of these systems. It captures the essence of symplectic geometry by facilitating the formulation of physical laws governing conservation and transformations.
