Quadratic rotational Lie-Poisson dynamics

ID: quadratic-rotational-lie-poisson-dynamics

With the displayed signed Lie-Poisson bracket and evolution , the equations are , , and . The energy and the Casimir function of a Poisson manifold are conserved. For , , with positive inertias, these are the Euler equations for a torque-free rigid body. Reversing the bracket while fixing reverses time orientation.
