		<description><![CDATA[We are developing homogeneous variational integrators on the two-sphere, which are based on Lie group variational integrators that constrain the algebra elements to the complementary space to the isotropy subspace of the group action of SO(3) on S^2. These yield exceptionally efficient global algorithms for Hamiltonian flows on S^2.
Stay tuned for the preprint on this, [...]]]></description>
