Abstract

In this paper we present results which relate the linearization of a G-equivariant vector field at an equilibrium to the linearization of the vector field obtained by projection on the orbit space of the group action. This allows us to propose a notion of hyperbolicity for an equilibrium of the projected vector field which is compatible with the orbit space structure. It provides an alternative to the notion of normal hyperbolicity for relative equilibria (flow invariant group orbits) developed by Field [9, 10].
