We prove that for every proper Hamiltonian action of a Lie group G in finite dimensions the momentum map is locally G-open relative to its image (i.e. images of G-invariant open sets are open). As an application we deduce that in a…
For a Lagrangian system with nonholonomic constraints, we construct extensions of the equations of motion to sets of second-order ordinary differential equations. In the case of a purely kinetic Lagrangian, we investigate the conditions…

We consider autonomous holonomic dynamical systems defined by equations of the form $\ddot{q}^{a}=-\Gamma_{bc}^{a}(q) \dot{q}^{b}\dot{q}^{c}$ $-Q^{a}(q)$, where $\Gamma^{a}_{bc}(q)$ are the coefficients of a symmetric (possibly…

We show how the Lie group analysis method can be used in order to obtain first integrals of any system of ordinary differential equations. The method of reduction/increase of order developed by Nucci (J. Math. Phys. 37, 1772-1775 (1996)) is…
Invariance theorems in analytical mechanics, such as Noether's theorem, can be adapted to continuum mechanics. For this purpose, it is useful to give a functional representation of the motion and to interpret the groups of invariance with…
We introduce a class of examples which provide an affine generalization of the nonholonomic problem of a convex body rolling without slipping on the plane. We investigate dynamical aspects of the system such as existence of first integrals,…
The angular momentum vector of a Heisenberg ferromagnet with isotropic exchange interaction is conserved, while under uniaxial crystalline anisotropy the projection of the total spin along the easy axis is a constant of motion. Using…
Noether's theorems are widely praised as some of the most beautiful and useful results in physics. However, if one reads the majority of standard texts and literature on the application of Noether's first theorem to field theory, one…
We give a proof of a theorem by N.N. Nekhoroshev concerning Hamiltonian systems with $n$ degrees of freedom and $s$ integrals of motion in involution, where $1 \le s \le n$. Such a theorem ensures persistence of $s$-dimensional invariant…
Integrals of motion are constructed from noncommutative (NC) Kepler dynamics, generating $SO(3),$ $SO(4),$ and $SO(1,3)$ dynamical symmetry groups. The Hamiltonian vector field is derived in action-angle coordinates, and the existence of a…
In this second part of the paper, we consider finite difference Lagrangians which are invariant under linear and projective actions of $SL(2)$, and the linear equi-affine action which preserves area in the plane. We first find the…
