Notes:
The well-known Jacobi variables in celestial mechanics are generalized to other Hamiltonian systems which include vortex dynamics. A combinatorial algorithm for constructing the generalized Jacobi variables is given; for any binary tree T(N) with N leave, there is a 2N×2N real symplectic matrix MT (T(N),Γ) which completely defines a linear canonical transformation to these relative variables. This algorithm yields a direct proof of the symplectic property for all the generalized Jacobi variables. An application to vortex dynamics is outlined here.
