Lee Hwa Chung theorem

The Lee Hwa Chung theorem is a theorem in symplectic topology.

The statement is as follows. Let M be a symplectic manifold with symplectic form ω. Let $\alpha$ be a differential k-form on M which is invariant for all Hamiltonian vector fields. Then:

If k is odd, $\alpha=0.$

If k is even, $\alpha = c \times \omega^{\wedge \frac{k}{2}}$ , where $c \in \Bbb{R}.$
