Existence of Relative Periodic Orbits near Relative Equilibria
نویسنده
چکیده
We show existence of relative periodic orbits (a.k.a. relative nonlinear normal modes) near relative equilibria of a symmetric Hamiltonian system under an appropriate assumption on the Hessian of the Hamiltonian. This gives a relative version of the Moser-Weinstein theorem.

Transitions from Relative Equilibria to Relative Periodic Orbits
We consider G-equivariant semilinear parabolic equations where G is a finite-dimensional possibly non-compact symmetry group. We treat periodic forcing of relative equilibria and resonant periodic forcing of relative periodic orbits as well as Hopf bifurcation from relative equilibria to relative periodic orbits using LyapunovSchmidt reduction. Our main interest are drift phenomena caused by re...
متن کاملRelative Nonlinear Normal Modes of Hamiltonian Systems
We generalize theWeinstein-Moser theorem on the existence of nonlinear normal modes (i.e., periodic orbits) near an equilibrium in a Hamiltonian system to a theorem on the existence of relative periodic orbits near a relative equilibrium in a Hamiltonian system with continuous symmetries. More specifically we significantly improve a result proved earlier jointly with Tokieda: we remove a techni...
متن کاملRelative 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...

We generalize theWeinstein-Moser theorem on the existence of nonlinear normal modes (i.e., periodic orbits) near an equilibrium in a Hamiltonian system to a theorem on the existence of relative periodic orbits near a relative equilibrium in a Hamiltonian system with continuous symmetries. More specifically we significantly improve a result proved earlier jointly with Tokieda: we remove a strong...
متن کاملRelative Hofer–zehnder Capacity and Periodic Orbits in Twisted Cotangent Bundles
The main theme of this paper is a relative version of the almost existence theorem for periodic orbits of autonomous Hamiltonian systems. We show that almost all low levels of a function on a geometrically bounded symplectically aspherical manifold carry contractible periodic orbits of the Hamiltonian flow, provided that the function attains its minimum along a closed symplectic submanifold. As...
