Abstract

Let P be a symplectic manifold with a free symplectic action of a connected compact Lie group G. We show that, given a certain transversality condition, the set of relative equilibria epsilon near p(e) is an element of epsilon of a G-invariant Hamiltonian system on P is locally Whitney-stratified by the conjugacy classes of the isotropy subgroups (under the product of the coadjoint and adjoint actions) of the momentum-generator pairs (mu, xi) Of the relative equilibria. The dimension of the stratum of the conjugacy class (K) is dim G+2 dim Z(K) -dim K, where Z(K) is the centre of K. Transverse to this stratum epsilon is locally diffeomorphic to the set of commuting pairs of the Lie algebra of K/Z(K). The stratum epsilon ((K)) is a symplectic submanifold of P near p(e) is an element of epsilon if and only if p(e) is non-degenerate and K is a maximal torus of G. We also show that the set of G-invariant Hamiltonians on P for which all the relative equilibria are transversal is open and dense. Thus, generically, the types of singularities of the set of relative equilibria of a Hamiltonian system with symmetry are those types found amongst the singularities at zero of the sets of commuting pairs of certain Lie subalgebras of the symmetry group.
