Hamiltonian Reduction by Stages
In this volume readers will find for the first time a detailed account of the theory of symplectic reduction by stages, along with numerous illustrations of the theory. Special emphasis is given to group extensions, including a detailed discussion of

Preface
This book is about Symplectic Reduction by Stages for Hamiltonian systems with symmetry. Reduction by stages means, roughly speaking, that we have two symmetry groups and we want to carry out symplectic reducti
