   Format: MarkdownItexat [[multisymplectic geometry]] and [[covariant phase space]] I have added pointers to the the recent article by Frédéric Hélein [here](http://arxiv.org/abs/1106.2086) that around its equations (21)-(25) has a discussion of how the ordinary canonical symplectic structure on covariant phase space is induced by what should be the right version of [[transgression]] of the canonical multisymplectic form.

   Format: MarkdownItexI went through the first two subsections (up to and excluding the examples) of the section _[Extended phase spaces in covariant field theory](http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/multisymplectic+geometry#extended)_ and tried to polish, prettify, and clarify the discussion a bit more. I didn't change any actual content, but I think it is better readable now. (The rest of the entry can do woth cleanup, too, maybe I find time for more...)

   Format: MarkdownItexstarted a new section * _[Examples -- Free field theory](http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/multisymplectic+geometry#FreeFieldTheory)_ which states (and shows) that the canonical multisymplectic form is equal to the "covariant symplectic potential current density" that comes out of the [[covariant phase space]] formalism -- according to [this remark there](http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/phase+space#CanonicalThetaDensityInLocalCoordinates) -- for a free field theory Lagrangian (and hence for any standard Lagrangian with standard kinetic and potential term). (If anyone can give me a pointer to the literature of this precise statement, I'll add it. Right now I have trouble finding such..., basic as the statement is.)

   Format: MarkdownItexadded a section [on the field equations](http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/multisymplectic+geometry#DonderWeylHamiltonFieldEquations) with emphasis on the way that Forger-Romero neatly relate the multisymplectic de Donder-Weyl field equations to the Euler-Lagrange equations. Special thanks to Igor Khavkine for discussion of this point, and for persistent pointers to the literature.
