Bifurcation of common levels of first integrals of the Kovalevskaya problem

Abstract

The structure of integral manifolds in the Kovalevskaya problem of the motion of a heavy rigid body about a fixed point is considered. An analytic description of a bifurcation set is obtained, and bifurcation diagrams are constructed. The number of two-dimensional tori is indicated for each connected component of the supplement to the bifurcation set in the space of the first integrals constants. The main topological bifurcations of the regular tori are described.
