Symmetry, Reduction and Swimming in a Perfect Fluid
This thesis presents a geometric picture of a deformable body in a perfect fluid and a way to approximate its dynamics and the motion, resulting from cyclic shape deformations, of the body and, interestingly, the fluid as well. Emphasis is placed on the group structure of the configuration space of...
