Abstract

In this paper, we study analytic nonlinear partial differential equations for $\mathbf y=\mathbf y(x,\theta)\in \mathbb C^n$ of the form $x^2 \mathbf y'_x(1+\mathcal O(x)) + \mathbf y'_\theta+x \mathbf A \mathbf y = \mathcal O(x^2)$, $()'_z=\frac{\partial}{\partial z}$, $z=x,\theta$, with $x\in \mathbb C$ and $\theta\in \mathbb C /(2\pi \mathbb Z)$ denoting the independent variables. We show that solutions are $1$-sums (with respect to $x$) of Fourier series with coefficients of type Gevrey-$1$. The motivation for studying these equations is that so-called inner problems, associated with two-dimensional formal connections in unfoldings of local bifurcations, can be brought into this form (by looking for invariant manifolds in blowup coordinates). In the present paper, we give two examples: The zero-Hopf bifurcation and the resonant Hopf-Hopf bifurcation. Importantly, these inner problems are given by the unperturbed problem (i.e. at the bifurcation) and the invariant manifolds are expressed directly in phase space (through blowup coordinates associated with the local bifurcation). This contrasts the Lazutkin-based formulation of inner problems which is based upon a blowup of singularities (with respect to complex time) of approximate solutions; for local bifurcations this requires (artificial) coordinate transformations. We solve the PDE by extending the Banach-convolution-algebra-approach to Borel-Laplace by Bonckaert and De Maesschalck (2008) to account for analytic Fourier series. In further details, we apply the Borel transform with respect to $x$ (keeping $\theta$ fixed) and solve the resulting equation in an appropriate Banach space of Fourier series with coefficients that have exponential growth in the Borel plane. The solutions of the PDE are then obtained through application of the Laplace transformation.

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.
