Abstract

We consider the planar three-body problem perturbed by a celestial body modeled as a time-dependent perturbation that decays in time. We assume that the motion of the celestial body is given and is unbounded with a non-zero asymptotic velocity. We prove the existence of orbits converging in time to some motions that are ``close'' to the quasiperiodic solutions associated with the Hamiltonian of the planar three-body problem. The proof relies on an abstract theorem that contains a substantial portion of the mathematical complexities presented in this work. This theorem is flexible and can be applied to many other physical phenomena. It considers Hamiltonian vector fields that are the sum of two components. The first possesses quasiperiodic solutions, and the second decays polynomially fast as time tends to infinity. We prove the existence of orbits converging in time to some motions that are ``close'' to the quasiperiodic solutions associated with the unperturbed system. It generalizes a previous work where a stronger polynomial decay in time was considered, and solutions converging in time to the quasiperiodic orbits associated with the unperturbed system were proved. In the abstract theorem contained in the present paper, the too-weak decay in time of the perturbation strongly modifies the dynamic at infinity. This serious difficulty requires a deep modification of the proof. This new strategy relies on the application of a Nash-Moser implicit function theorem (the previous result was proved with the fixed point theorem) and the introduction of weak solutions (in this case, the orbits do not converge to the quasiperiodic solutions associated with the unperturbed system).

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.
