摘要

This article introduces two reduction schemes for Hamiltonian systems on an exact symplectic manifold admitting Lie group symmetries. It is demonstrated that these reduction procedures are equivalent, by employing a modified Marsden–Meyer–Weinstein reduction theorem for exact symplectic manifolds and contact manifolds given by energy hypersurfaces. Each approach is illustrated through an example.
