In this paper we study symplectic maps with a continuous symmetry group arising by periodic forcing of symmetric Hamiltonian systems. By Noether's Theorem, for each continuous symmetry the symplectic map has a conserved momentum. We study the persistence of relative periodic points of the symplectic map when momentum is varied and also treat subharmonic persistence and relative subharmonic bifurcations of relative periodic points.
