Review text

For given Lagrangians or Hamiltonians over a Riemannian manifold, the authors consider the corresponding transformation of Lagrange (FL) and transformation of Hamilton (FH) defined respectively on the tangent and cotangent bundle equipped with the induced pseudo-Riemannian metric. The authors characterize those Lagrangians and Hamiltonians whose relative FL and FH are respectively, isometries, totally geodesic or harmonic maps. Examples are given which include the simple and spherical pendulum. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0945.00024].
