Difference between conserved quantities and constants of motion?

Physics Asked by user208263 on December 14, 2020

In Hamiltonian mechanics, consider extended phase space, the trajectory followed by a particle in that space is formed by an intersection of different $2n$ dimensional surfaces, all of these surfaces are constants of motion, are any symmetric transformations associated with these constants of motion?

What is the difference between constants of motion and conserved quantities formed from symmetric properties?

One Answer

Concerning OP's title question (v2): A constant of motion and a conserved quantity are the same notion.
