Metamorphoses of Hamiltonian Systems with Symmetries

Metamorphoses of Hamiltonian Systems with Symmetries by Konstantinos Efstathiou.

Modern notions and important tools of classical mechanics are used in the study of concrete examples that model physically significant molecular and atomic systems. The parametric nature of these examples leads naturally to the study of the major qualitative changes of such systems (metamorphoses) a...
