Abstract
The Eisenhart lift establishes a fascinating connection between non-relativistic and relativistic physics, providing a space-time geometric understanding of non-relativistic Newtonian mechanics. What is still little known, however, is the fact that there is a Hilbert space representation of classical mechanics (also called Koopman-von Neumann mechanics) that attempts to give classical mechanics the same mathematical structure that quantum mechanics has. In this article, we geometrize the Koopman-von Newmann (KvN) mechanics using the Eisenhart toolkit. We then use a geometric view of KvN mechanics to find transformations that relate the harmonic oscillator, linear potential, and free particle in the context of KvN mechanics.
