Abstract
This chapter defines the Bargmannian coordinate systems, and shows that the Bargmannian connection is symmetric. It provides a result which states a link between this fact and the closure of the Galilean symplectic form. The integrals of the motion are important tools to integrate the equations. The chapter also shows how they are linked to symmetry groups. The class of symplectic cohomology does not depend on the choice of the momentum map but only on the structure of the Lie group G. The space of symplectic cohomology of Galileo's group is of dimension 1. The chapter discusses elements of group extension theory. It examines the link between the group extension cocycles and symplectic cocycles. Coadjoint orbit method is one way to introduce the symplectic form. Finally, the chapter presents application of symplectic form to classical mechanics and relativity.
