Weakly Normally Hyperbolic Invariant Tori: Persistence and an Averaging Principle
Abstract
We prove a persistence theorem for attracting weakly normally hyperbolic invariant tori under small time-periodic perturbations. The theorem extends recent continuation results for weakly normally hyperbolic limit cycles to invariant tori of arbitrary dimension, providing a general analytical framework for their detection. As an application, we establish an averaging principle showing that attracting normally hyperbolic invariant $d$-tori of the averaged system give rise to attracting normally hyperbolic invariant $(d+1)$-tori of the original non-autonomous system. We further introduce a polynomiality-preserving construction that simultaneously lifts the dimensions of the phase space and the attracting normally hyperbolic invariant tori, yielding recursive lower bounds for the maximal number of codimension-$1$ normally hyperbolic invariant tori of polynomial vector fields of a given degree, thereby extending the counting aspect of Hilbert's sixteenth problem to higher-dimensional invariant tori. In particular, we prove that this number grows at least polynomially with the degree and becomes unbounded for invariant tori of higher codimension.
