We consider free and proper cotangent-lifted symmetries of Hamiltonian systems. For the special case of G = SO(3), we construct symplectic slice coordinates around an arbitrary point. We thus obtain a parametrisation of the phase space suitable for the study of dynamics near relative equilibria, in particular for the Birkhoff-Poincare normal form method. For a general symmetry group, we observe that for the calculation of the truncated normal forms, one does not need an expli...

The study of the behavior of solutions of ODEs often benefits from deciding on a convenient choice of coordinates. This choice of coordinates may be used to "simplify" the functional expressions that appear in the vector field in order that the essential features of the flow of the ODE near a critical point become more evident. In the case of the analysis of an ordinary differential equation in the neighborhood of an equilibrium point, this naturally leads to the consideratio...

In this paper we mainly study the existence of analytic normalization and the normal form of finite dimensional complete analytic integrable dynamical systems. More details, we will prove that any complete analytic integrable diffeomorphism $F(x)=Bx+f(x)$ in $(\mathbb C^n,0)$ with $B$ having eigenvalues not modulus $1$ and $f(x)=O(|x|^2)$ is locally analytically conjugate to its normal form. Meanwhile, we also prove that any complete analytic integrable differential system $\...

We present a generalized Lyapunov Schmidt reduction scheme for diffeomorphisms living on a finite dimensional real vector space V which transform under real one dimensional characters of an arbitrary compact group with linear action V. Moreover we prove a normal form theorem, such that the normal form still has the desirable transformation properties with respect to the character.

It is shown that, under suitable conditions, involving in particular the existence of analytic constants of motion, the presence of Lie point symmetries can ensure the convergence of the transformation taking a vector field (or dynamical system) into normal form

Integration of nonlinear dynamical systems is usually seen as associated to a symmetry reduction, e.g. via momentum map. In Lax integrable systems, as pointed out by Kazhdan, Kostant and Sternberg in discussing the Calogero system, one proceeds in the opposite way, enlarging the nonlinear system to a system of greater dimension. We discuss how this approach is also fruitful in studying non integrable systems, focusing on systems in normal form.

In this paper we study a systematic and natural construction of canonical coordinates for the reduced space of a cotangent bundle with a free Lie group action. The canonical coordinates enable us to compute Poincar{\'e}-Birkhoff normal forms of relative equilibria using standard algorithms. The case of simple mechanical systems with symmetries is studied in detail. As examples we compute Poincar{\'e}-Birkhoff normal forms for a Lagrangian equilateral triangle configuration of...

The general term of the Poincare normalizing series is explicitly constructed for non-resonant systems of ODE's in a large class of equations. In the resonant case, a non-local transformation is found, which exactly linearizes the ODE's and whose series expansion always converges in a finite domain. Examples are treated.

We study local normal forms for completely integrable systems on Poisson manifolds in the presence of additional symmetries. The symmetries that we consider are encoded in actions of compact Lie groups. The existence of Weinstein's splitting theorem for the integrable system is also studied giving some examples in which such a splitting does not exist, i.e. when the integrable system is not, locally, a product of an integrable system on the symplectic leaf and an integrable s...

We show that, to find a Poincare-Dulac normalization for a vector field is the same as to find and linearize a torus action which preserves the vector field. Using this toric characterization and other geometrical arguments, we prove that any local analytic vector field which is integrable in the non-Hamiltonian sense admits a local convergent Poincare-Dulac normalization. These results generalize the main results of our previous paper from the Hamiltonian case to the non-Ham...
