The invariant measure of phase space and the covariant expression for the entropy are derived from non-canonical transformations of coordinates. This shows that the geometry of non-canonical phase space is non trivial even if dynamics has no compressibility.Statistical MechanicsVariational principle and phase space measure in non-canonical coordinatestext
