Abstract: We construct a Poisson map mathbfMcolonTmathbbC2omathfrakse(3) with respect to the canonical Poisson bracket on TmathbbC2congTmathbbR4 and the ()-Lie--Poisson bracket on the dual mathfrakse(3) of the Lie algebra of the special Euclidean group mathsfSE(3). The essential part of this map is the momentum map associated with the cotangent lift of the natural right action of the semidirect product Lie group mathsfSU(2)ltimesmathbbC2 on mathbbC2. This Poisson map gives rise to a canonical Hamiltonian system on TmathbbC2 whose solutions are mapped by mathbfM to solutions of the heavy top equations. We show that the Casimirs of the heavy top dynamics and the additional conserved quantity of the Lagrange top correspond to the Noether conserved quantities associated with certain symmetries of the canonical Hamiltonian system. We also construct a Lie--Poisson integrator for the heavy top dynamics by combining the Poisson map mathbfM with a simple symplectic integrator, and demonstrate that the integrator exhibits either exact or near conservation of the conserved quantities of the Kovalevskaya top.
