The multi-dimensional Hamiltonian Structures in the Whitham method

In this paper we consider the averaging of local field-theoretic Poisson brackets in the multi-dimensional case. As a result, we construct a local Poisson bracket for the regular Whitham system in the multidimensional situation. The procedure is based on the procedure of averaging of local conservation laws and follows the Dubrovin - Novikov scheme of the bracket averaging suggested in one-dimensional case. However, the features of the phase space of modulated parameters in higher dimensions lead to a different natural class of the averaged brackets in comparison with the one-dimensional situation. Here we suggest a direct procedure of construction of the bracket for the Whitham system for $d > 1$ and discuss the conditions of applicability of the corresponding scheme. At the end, we discuss canonical forms of the averaged Poisson bracket in the multidimensional case.
