Abstract

We study the existence of whiskered tori in a family $f_μ$ of conformally symplectic maps depending on parameters $μ$. Whiskered tori are tori on which the motion is a rotation, but they have as many expanding/contracting directions as allowed by the preservation of the geometric structure. Our main result is formulated in an "a-posteriori" format. We fix $ω$ satisfying Diophantine conditions. We assume that we are given 1) a value of the parameter $μ_0$, 2) an embedding of the torus $K_0$ into the phase space, approximately invariant under $f_{μ_0}$ in the sense that $f_{μ_0} \circ K_0 - K_0 \circ T_ω$ is small, 3) a splitting of the tangent space at the range of $K_0$, into three bundles which are approximately invariant under $D f_{μ_0}$ and such that the derivative satisfies "rate conditions" on each of the components. Then, if some non-degeneracy conditions are satisfied, we show that there is another parameter $μ_\infty$, an embedding $K_\infty$ and splittings close to the original ones which are invariant under $f_{μ_\infty}$. We also bound $|μ_\infty - μ_0|$, $\|K_\infty - K_0 \|$ and the distance of the initial and final splittings in terms of the initial error. The proof of the main theorem consists in describing an iterative process that takes advantage of cancellations coming from the geometry. Then, we show that the process converges to a true solution when started from an approximate enough solution. The iterative process leads to an efficient algorithm that is quite practical to implement. As an application, we study the singular problem of effects of small dissipation on whiskered tori. We develop formal expansions in the perturbative parameter and use them as input for the a-posteriori theorem. This allows to obtain lower bounds for the domain of analyticity of the tori as function of the perturbative parameter.

Admissible Fourier Lengths, KAM Reducibility, and Spectral Applications

We develop a perturbative KAM reducibility theory for one-frequency $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ cocycles based on an admissible Fourier length $\ell$. The regularity relevant to the iteration is measured by positive adapted Fourier width rather than ordinary smoothness in the Euclidean length $|n|$. The same length governs Fourier decay, truncation and resonance scales, and the arithmetic condition controlling the small divisors. This framework contains the classical analytic and Gevrey settings, while non-monotone choices of $\ell$ allow classical nowhere differentiable Weierstrass-type perturbations and continuous perturbations outside every positive H\"older class. As spectral applications, we obtain purely absolutely continuous spectrum for every phase and $1/2$-H\"older continuity of the integrated density of states for the associated quasiperiodic Schr\"odinger operators. The Aubry dual has pure point spectrum for Lebesgue almost every dual phase, with eigenfunctions exponentially localized in the metric induced by $\ell$. We also construct nowhere differentiable quasiperiodic potentials with purely absolutely continuous Cantor spectrum.

Dynamics inside the attracting basins of some skew products

Polynomial skew products in $\mathbb{C}^2$ are maps of the form $F(z,w)=(P(z),Q(z,w))$, where $P$ and $Q$ are polynomials. Their local dynamics have been widely investigated. In this paper, we study the global dynamics inside Fatou components of some skew products. We consider all the inverse images in a Fatou component of a given point and use the Kobayashi metric to measure the distance between points. In the cases we consider, there are always arbitrarily large Kobayashi balls in the complement of these inverse sets.

Ergodicity of dynamical systems without uniqueness of orbits

Recently, there has been considerable interest in the study of non-deterministic dynamical systems. To analyze the chaotic behavior of such systems from a measure-theoretic viewpoint, it is desirable to consider ergodicity. However, the classical definition of ergodicity involves invariant sets, whose definition is not unique for non-deterministic dynamical systems. Thus, we are led to the question of which invariance yields an interesting definition of ergodicity. Here, we propose a definition based on the strong backward invariance and show that analogs of classical results hold. We also consider implications of the Birkhoff ergodic theorem for systems without uniqueness of orbits.
