Bifurcations of relative equilibria near zero momentum in Hamiltonian systems with spherical symmetry

چکیده
For Hamiltonian systems with spherical symmetry there is a marked difference between zero and non-zero momentum values, and amongst all relative equilibria with zero momentum there is a marked difference between those of zero and those of non-zero angular velocity. We use techniques from singularity theory to study the family of relative equilibria that arise as a symmetric Hamiltonian which has a group orbit of equilibria with zero momentum is perturbed so that the zero-momentum relative equilibrium are no longer equilibria. We also analyze the stability of these perturbed relative equilibria, and consider an application to satellites controlled by means of rotors. MSC 2010: 70H33, 58F14, 37J20

Relative Lyapunov Centre Bifurcations
Relative equilibria and relative periodic orbits (RPOs) are ubiquitous in symmetric Hamiltonian systems and occur for example in celestial mechanics, molecular dynamics and rigid body motion. Relative equilibria are equilibria and RPOs are periodic orbits of the symmetry reduced system. Relative Lyapunov centre bifurcations are bifurcations of relative periodic orbits from relative equilibria c...
متن کاملRelative Equilibria of Hamiltonian Systems with Symmetry: Linearization, Smoothness, and Drift
A relative equilibrium of a Hamiltonian system with symmetry is a point of phase space giving an evolution which is a one-parameter orbit of the action of the symmetry group of the system. The evolutions of sufficiently small perturbations of a formally stable relative equilibrium are arbitrarily confined to that relative equilibrium's orbit under the isotropy subgroup of its momentum. However,...
متن کاملNumerical Bifurcation of Hamiltonian Relative Periodic Orbits
Relative periodic orbits (RPOs) are ubiquitous in symmetric Hamiltonian systems and occur for example in celestial mechanices, molecular dynamics and rigid body motion. RPOs are solutions which are periodic orbits of the symmetry-reduced system. In this paper we analyze certain symmetry-breaking bifurcations of Hamiltonian relative periodic orbits and show how they can be detected and computed ...
متن کاملHopf Bifurcations from Relative Equilibria in Spherical Geometry
Resonant and nonresonantHopf bifurcations from relative equilibria posed in two spatial dimensions, in systems with Euclidean SE(2) symmetry, have been extensively studied in the context of spiral waves in a plane and are now well understood. We investigate Hopf bifurcations from relative equilibria posed in systems with compact SO(3) symmetry where SO(3) is the group of rotations in three dime...
متن کاملStability Transitions for Axisymmetric Relative Equilibria of Euclidean Symmetric Hamiltonian Systems
In the presence of noncompact symmetry, the stability of relative equilibria under momentum-preserving perturbations does not generally imply robust stability under momentum-changing perturbations. For axisymmetric relative equilibria of Hamiltonian systems with Euclidean symmetry, we investigate different mechanisms of stability: stability by energy-momentum confinement, KAM, and Nekhoroshev s...
