Abstract
We present a framework for the study of the local qualitative dynamics of equivariant Hamiltonian flows specially designed for points in phase space with non-trivial isotropy. This is based on the classical construction of structure-preserving tubular neighborhoods for Hamiltonian Lie group actions on symplectic manifolds. This framework is applied to obtaining concrete and testable conditions guaranteeing the existence of bifurcations from symmetric branches of Hamiltonian relative equilibria. © 2013 Institute of Mathematics, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST) and Springer Science+Business Media Singapore.
