Abstract
We recall the notion of Jacobi fields, as it was extended to systems of second-order ordinary differential equations. Two points along a base integral curve are conjugate if there exists a nontrivial Jacobi field along that curve that vanishes on both points. Based on arguments that involve the eigendistributions of the Jacobi endomorphism, we discuss conjugate points for a certain generalization (to the current setting) of locally symmetric spaces. Next, we study conjugate points along relative equilibria of Lagrangian systems with a symmetry Lie group. We end the paper with some examples and applications.
