Abstract: We study some aspects of the dynamics of the nonholonomic system formed by a heavy homogeneous ball constrained to roll without sliding on a steadily rotating surface of revolution. First, in the case in which the figure axis of the surface is vertical (and hence the system is -symmetric) and the surface has a (nondegenerate) maximum at its vertex, we show the existence of motions asymptotic to the vertex and rule out the possibility of blow up. This is done passing to the 5-dimensional -reduced system. The -symmetry persists when the figure axis of the surface is inclined with respect to the vertical -- and the system can be viewed as a simple model for the Japanese kasamawashi (turning umbrella) performance art -- and in that case we study the (stability of the) equilibria of the 5-dimensional reduced system.
