Abstract: In this article we prove two versions of the Liapunov center theorem for symmetric potentials. We consider a~second order autonomous system $ddotq(t)=-ablaU(q(t))$ in the presence of symmetries of a compact Lie group $Gamma$ acting linearly on $mathbb{R}^n.$ We look for non-stationary periodic solutions of this system in a~neighborhood of an orbit of critical points of the potential $U.$

Review text

Fix a second-order autonomous system of type \(\ddot{q}(t)=-\nabla U(q(t))\) where the potential function \(U:\mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) is of class \(C^2\) and \(0\in \mathbb{R}^n\) is a non-degenerate critical point of \(U\) which is not a local maximum. The aim of the paper under review is to prove the Lyapunov center theorem in the presence of some symmetries of the potential \(U\). More precisely, let \(\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n\) be an open and \(\Gamma \)-invariant subset of \(\mathbb{R}^n\) where \(\mathbb{R}^n\) is considered as an orthogonal representation of a compact Lie group \(\Gamma \). Fix a critical point \(q_0\in \Omega \) of the \(\Gamma \)-invariant \(C^2\)-potential \(U:\Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{R}\). Then the main interest consists in finding non-stationary periodic solutions of the initial differential system in a neighborhood of the orbit \(\Gamma (q_0)\) of stationary solutions.
