On the Equilibrium Locus of a Parameterized Dynamical System with Independent First Integrals

Abstract

For a family of dynamical systems with k>0 independent first integrals evolving in a compact region of a Euclidean space, we study the equilibrium locus. We show that under mild and generic conditions, it is a smooth manifold that can be viewed as the total space of a certain fiber bundle and that this bundle comes equipped with a natural connection. We then proceed to show parallel transport for this connection does exist and explore some of its properties. In particular, we elucidate how one can to some extent measure the variation of the system eigenvalues restricted to a given fiber.
