Abstract: 
A nuclear Hamiltonian with high order terms in the collective angular momentum operators is constructed by applying the method of contact transformations to a Hamiltonian including intrinsic particle motion and Coriolis interaction. In the space of intrinsic variables, the coefficients of the transformed Hamiltonian appear as matrix elements depending on the intrinsic angular momentum. Their transformation properties under the time reversal assure the time-reversal invariance of the Hamiltonian in the collective space. It is shown that the intrinsic matrix elements correspond to the coefficients in the point-symmetry-based quadrupole-octupole rotation Hamiltonian. In this framework, the developed formalism gives an insight into the intrinsic origin of the high order effects in the rotation motion of complex-deformed nuclei.
