Abstract
The block diagonalization method for determining the stability of relative equilibria is discussed from the point of view of connections. We construct connections whose horizontal and vertical decompositions simultaneosly put the second variation of the augmented Hamiltonian and the symplectic structure into normal form. The cotangent bundle reduction theorem provides the setting in which the results are obtained.
