Jacobi Identity for Poisson Brackets: A Concise Proof

arXiv:physics/0210117

Abstract

In view of the recent interest in a short proof of the Jacobi identity for the Poisson-brackets, we provide an alternative simple proof for the same. Our derivation is based on the validity of the Leibnitz rule in the context of dynamical evolution.
