Abstract

In this paper, we study the extended Hamilton-Jacobi Theory in the context of dynamical systems with symmetries. Given an action of a Lie group GG on a manifold MM and a GG-invariant vector field XX on MM, we construct complete solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation (HJE) related to XX (and a given fibration on MM). We do that along each open subset UMU\subseteq M such that π(U)\pi\left(U\right) has a manifold structure and πU:Uπ(U)\pi_{\left|U\right.}:U\rightarrow\pi\left(U\right), the restriction to UU of the canonical projection π:MM/G\pi:M\rightarrow M/G, is a surjective submersion. If XUX_{\left|U\right.} is not vertical with respect to πU\pi_{\left|U\right.}, we show that such complete solutions solve the "reconstruction equations" related to XUX_{\left|U\right.} and GG, i.e., the equations that enable us to write the integral curves of XUX_{\left|U\right.} in terms of those of its projection on π(U)\pi\left(U\right). On the other hand, if XUX_{\left|U\right.} is vertical, we show that such complete solutions can be used to construct (around some points of UU) the integral curves of XUX_{\left|U\right.} up to quadratures. To do that we give, for some elements ξ\xi of the Lie algebra g\mathfrak{g} of GG, an explicit expression up to quadratures of the exponential curve exp(ξt)\exp\left(\xi\,t\right), different to that appearing in the literature for matrix Lie groups. In the case of compact and of semisimple Lie groups, we show that such expression of exp(ξt)\exp\left(\xi\,t\right) is valid for all ξ\xi inside an open dense subset of g\mathfrak{g}.
