Abstract
This paper deals with the global geometry of the bifurcations of a family of Hamiltonian functions that arises from normalizing the Henon-Heiles family to fourth-degree terms and then performing a reduction. This gives a geometric explanation of the bifurcation diagram for the main resonance in the model of axisymmetric galaxies of Braun and Verhulst.
