This paper considers various aspects of the canonical coordinate transformations in a complex phase space. The main result is given by two theorems which describe two special families of mappings between integrable Hamiltonian systems. The generating function of these transformations is determined by the entropy and a second arbitrary function which we take to be the energy function. For simple integrable systems an algebraic treatment based on the group properties of the canonical transformations is given to calculate the eigenvalue spectrum of the energy.

This chapter discusses canonical transformations and gauge transformations and is divided into three sections. In the first section, canonical coordinate transformations are introduced to the reader through generating functions as the extension of point transformations used in Lagrangian mechanics, with the harmonic oscillator being used as an example of a canonical transformation. In the second section, gauge theory is discussed in the canonical framework and compared to the Lagrangian case. Action-angle variables, direct conditions, symplectomorphisms, holomorphic variables, integrable systems and first integrals are examined. The third section looks at infinitesimal canonical transformations resulting from functions on phase space. Ostrogradsky equations in the canonical setting are also detailed.

This paper considers the Lie series representation of the canonical transformations in a complex phase space. A condition is given which selects the canonical mappings from the Lie transformations associated with a complex-valued generating function. Some special types of mappings and some simple algebraic tools are discussed.

Keeping in view the importance of dynamical invariants, attempts have been made to investigate complex invariants for two-dimensional Hamiltonian systems within the framework of the extended complex phase space approach. The rationalization method has been used to derive an invariant of a general nonhermitian quartic potential. Invariants for three specific potentials are also obtained from the general result.

Keeping in view the importance of complex dynamical systems, we investigate the classical invariants for some non-Hermitian anharmonic potentials in one dimension. For this purpose, the rationalization method is employed under the elegance of the extended complex phase space approach. The invariants obtained are expected to play an important role in studying complex Hamiltonian systems at the classical as well as quantum levels.
