Hamiltonian Reduction by Stages
by University Jerrold E Marsden, Gerard Misiolek, and Juan-Pablo Ortega
Published 29 June 2007
This volume provides a detailed account of the theory of symplectic reduction by stages, along with numerous illustrations of the theory. It gives special emphasis to group extensions, including a detailed discussion of the Euclidean group, the oscillator group, the Bott-Virasoro group and other groups of matrices. The volume also provides ample background theory on symplectic reduction and cotangent bundle reduction.
