Stability of relative equilibria and isomorphic vector fields

Stefan Klajbor Goderich (UIUC Math)

Abstract: We present applications of the notion of isomorphic vector fields to the study of nonlinear stability of relative equilibria. Isomorphic vector fields were introduced by Hepworth in his study of vector fields on differentiable stacks. Here we argue in favor of the usefulness of replacing an invariant vector field on a manifold by an isomorphic one to study nonlinear stability of relative equilibria. In particular, we use this idea to obtain a criterion for nonlinear stability. As an application, we sketch how to use this to obtain Montaldi and Rodrı́guez-Olmos’s criterion for stability of Hamiltonian relative equilibria.
