Polar canonical coordinates for the rotating Kepler limit #
This file defines the standard canonical polar-coordinate map and verifies directly that it sends the zero-mass Cartesian Hamiltonian to the rotating Kepler Hamiltonian. This is the first coordinate change on the route to Delaunay action-angle variables.
Polar canonical state ordered as (r, φ, pᵣ, pφ).

On a negative Kepler energy shell, the radial momentum satisfies the radicand appearing in the Delaunay generating function.
The Cartesian momentum paired with the radial coordinate differential is pᵣ.
The Cartesian momentum paired with the angular coordinate differential is pφ. Together with
polar_radial_momentum_identity, this verifies the canonical one-form under the polar formulas.
The Cartesian zero-mass Hamiltonian becomes the rotating Kepler Hamiltonian under the canonical polar-coordinate formulas.
