Classical energy-momentum methods study the existence and stability properties of solutions of t-dependent Hamilton equations on symplectic manifolds whose evolution is given by their Hamiltonian Lie symmetries. The points of such solutions are called relative equilibrium points. This work devises a new cosymplectic energy-momentum method providing a new and more general framework to study t-dependent Hamilton equations. In fact, cosymplectic geometry allows for using more types of distinguished Lie symmetries (given by Hamiltonian, gradient, or evolution vector fields), relative equilibrium points, and reduction methods, than symplectic techniques. To make our work more self-contained and to fill some gaps in the literature, a review of the cosymplectic formalism and the cosymplectic Marsden–Weinstein reduction is included. Known and new types of relative equilibrium points are characterised and studied. Our methods remove technical conditions used in previous energy-momentum methods, like the Ad∗\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$\ extrm{Ad}^*$$\\end{document}-equivariance of momentum maps. Eigenfunctions of t-dependent Schrödinger equations are interpreted in terms of relative equilibrium points in cosymplectic manifolds. A new cosymplectic-to-symplectic reduction is developed and a new associated type of relative equilibrium points, the so-called gradient relative equilibrium points, are introduced and applied to study the Lagrange points and Hill spheres of a restricted circular three-body system by means of a not Hamiltonian Lie symmetry of the system.
