The structure of integral manifolds in the Kovalevskaya problem of the motion of a heavy rigid body about a fixed point is considered. An analytic description of a bifurcation set is obtained, and bifurcation diagrams are constructed. The number of two-dimensional tori is indicated for each connected component of the supplement to the bifurcation set in the space of the first integrals constants. The main topological bifurcations of the regular tori are described.

The Kowalevski gyrostat in two constant fields is known as the unique example of an integrable Hamiltonian system with three degrees of freedom not reducible to a family of systems in fewer dimensions and still having the clear mechanical interpretation. The practical explicit integration of this system can hardly be obtained by the existing techniques. Then the challenging problem becomes to fulfil the qualitative investigation based on the study of the Liouville foliation of the phase space. As the first approach to topological analysis of this system we find the stratified critical set of the momentum map; this set consists of the trajectories with number of frequencies less than three. We obtain the equations of the bifurcation diagram in three-dimensional space. These equations have the form convenient for the classification of the bifurcation sets induced on 5-dimensional iso-energetic levels.MSC: 70E17, 70G40, 70H06 PACS: 45.20.Jj, 45.40.Cc

The Kowalevski top in two constant fields is known as the unique profound example of an integrable Hamiltonian system with three degrees of freedom not reducible to a family of systems in fewer dimensions. As the first approach to topological analysis of this system we find the critical set of the integral map; this set consists of the trajectories with number of frequencies less than three. We obtain the equations of the bifurcation diagram in R 3 . A correspondence to the Appelrot classes in the classical Kowalevski problem is established. The admissible regions for the values of the first integrals are found in the form of some inequalities of general character and boundary conditions for the induced diagrams on energy levels.
