About this book
Reviews
"…The present book offers a thorough description of [reduction] theory and a unified treatment of most of its developments and generalizations, with a particular emphasis on those due to the authors. It contains many important results which cannot be found in other books, and covers a large part of the recent developments related to momentum maps and reduction. This book fills a need and will be appreciated by specialists as well as by persons new to the field…."
