Multiple reductions, foliations and the dynamics of cluster maps (Q1795608): Difference between revisions

In this paper the coexistence of multiple reductions, namely presymplectic and Poisson reductions, is explored. This coexistence acts on the dynamics of a cluster map. The reduction processes lead to two kinds of objects. First, a foliation of the domain of the cluster map defined by the fibers of a submersion, and second, a reduced system. A background regarding cluster maps is given in Section 2. The log-canonical presymplectic and Poisson structures are considered in Section 3. Furthermore, the null foliation and the symplectic foliation determined by these structures are described in terms of submersions. Moreover, connections between the above-mentioned foliations are pointed out. In Section 4 it is highlighted how the dynamics of the multiple reduced systems allows to draw conclusions on the dynamics of the original map. Under some conditions, when multiple reductions exist, they define a flag of foliations. As a consequence, the study of the map is simplified and a better geometric description of its dynamics is obtained. In Section 5 some examples are considered.
