As a model problem for the study of chaotic Hamiltonian systems, we look for the effects of a long-tail distribution of recurrence times on a fixed Hamiltonian dynamics. We follow Stanislavsky's approach of Hamiltonian formalism for fractional systems. We prove that his formalism can be retrieved from the fractional embedding theory. We deduce that the fractional Hamiltonian systems of Stanislavsky stem from a particular least action principle, said causal. In this case, the fractional embedding becomes coherent.
