Abstract
We provide a variational description of any Liouville, i.e. volume preserving, autonomous vector field on a smooth manifold. This is obtained via a “maximal degree” variational principle; critical sections for this are integral manifolds for the Liouville vector field. We work in coordinates and provide explicit formulae.
