Hi all,

1) it is known (Liouville) that volumes in phase space are conserved under time evolution. Is there any accessible proof for this fact?

2) what about the relativistic case? Are volumes conserved in the phase space of positions and momenta? What about the phase space of positions and velocities?

Thanks
