Dynamics near relative equilibria: Nongeneric momenta at a 1:1 group-reduced resonance
نویسنده
چکیده
An interesting situation occurs when the linearized dynamics of the shape of a formally stable Hamiltonian relative equilibrium at nongeneric momentum 1:1 resonates with a frequency of the relative equilibrium’s generator. In this case some of the shape variables couple to the group variables to first order in the momentum perturbation, and the first order perturbation theory implies that the relative equilibrium slowly changes orientation in the same way that a charged particle with magnetic moment moves on a sphere under the influence of a radial magnetic monopole. In the course of showing this a normal form is constructed for linearizations of relative equilibria and for Hamiltonians near group orbits of relative equilibria.

Reduction of the planar 4-vortex system at zero momentum
The system of four point vortices in the plane has relative equilibria that behave as composite particles, in the case where three of the vortices have strength −Γ/3 and one of the vortices has strength Γ. These relative equilibria occur at nongeneric momenta. The reduction of this system, at those momenta, by continuous and then discrete symmetries, classifies the 4-vortex states which have be...
متن کاملStability by KAM confinement of certain wild, nongeneric relative equilibria of underwater vehicles with coincident centers of mass and bouyancy
Purely rotational relative equilibria of an ellipsoidal underwater vehicle occur at nongeneric momentum where the symplectic reduced spaces change dimension. The stability these relative equilibria under momentum changing perturbations is not accessible by Lyapunov functions obtained from energy and momentum. A blow-up construction transforms the stability problem to the analysis symmetry-break...
متن کاملStability and Drift of Underwater Vehicle Dynamics: Mechanical Systems with Rigid Motion Symmetry
This paper develops the stability theory of relative equilibria for mechanical systems with symmetry. It is especially concerned with systems that have a noncompact symmetry group, such as the group of Euclidean motions, and with relative equilibria for such symmetry groups. For these systems with rigid motion symmetry, one gets stability but possibly with drift in certain rotational as well as...

متن کاملPoint vortices on a sphere: Stability of relative equilibria
In this paper we analyze the dynamics of N point vortices moving on a sphere from the point of view of geometric mechanics. The formalism is developed for the general case of N vortices, and the details are worked out for the ~integrable! case of three vortices. The system under consideration is SO~3! invariant; the associated momentum map generated by this SO~3! symmetry is equivariant and cor...
