The tennis racket effect is a geometric phenomenon which occurs in a free rotation of a three-dimensional rigid body. In a complex phase space, we show that this effect originates from a pole of a Riemann surface and can be viewed as a result of the Picard-Lefschetz formula. We prove that a perfect twist of the racket is achieved in the limit of an...

We study signatures of physical constraints on free rotations of rigid bodies. We show analytically that the physical or non-physical nature of the moments of inertia of a system can be detected by qualitative changes both in the Montgomery phase and in the tennis racket effect.

Hamiltonian Monodromy is the simplest topological obstruction to the existence of global action-angle coordinates in a completely integrable system. We show that this property can be studied in a neighborhood of a focus-focus singularity by a spectral Lax pair approach. From the Lax pair, we derive a Riemann surface which allows us to compute in a...

The author of the comment~[arXiv:2302.04190] criticizes our published results in Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{125}, 064301 (2020) about the Tennis Racket Effect (TRE). The TRE is a geometric effect which occurs in the free rotation of any asymmetric rigid body. We explain why the criticism of this comment is not valid.
