The Geometrical Structure of Phase Space of the Controlled Hamiltonian System with Symmetry

Abstract

In this paper, from the viewpoint of completeness of Marsden-Weinstein reduction, we illustrate how to give the definitions of a controlled Hamiltonian (CH) system and a reducible controlled Hamiltonian system with symmetry; and how to describe the dynamics of a CH system and the controlled Hamiltonian equivalence; as well as how to give the regular point reduction and the regular orbit reduction for a CH system with symmetry, by analyzing carefully the geometrical and topological structures of the phase space and the reduced phase space of the corresponding Hamiltonian system. We also introduce briefly some recent developments in the study of reduction theory for the CH systems with symmetries and applications. These research work reveal the deeply internal relationships of the geometrical structures of phase spaces, the dynamical vector fields and controls of the CH systems.
