Description The classical phase space of general relativistic classical test particle (here called, for short, "phase space") is defined as the first jet space of motions regarded as timelike one-dimensional submanifolds of spacetime. By the projectability assumption, we define the subsheaf of special phase functions with a special Lie bracket and we compare the Lie algebra of special phase functions with the structures obtained on the phase space by the standard Hamiltonian approach.
