We propose a new definition of so called Hamiltonian forms in n-plectic geometry and show that they have a non-trivial Lie infinity-algebra structure.
A manifold is multisymplectic, or more specifically n-plectic, if it is equipped with a closed nondegenerate differential form of degree n+1. In our previous work with Baez and Hoffnung, we described how the `higher analogs' of the algebraic and geometric structures found in symplectic geometry should naturally arise i…
