KAM below $\mathbf C^n$

We consider the KAM theory for rotational flows on an $n$-dimensional torus. We show that if its frequencies are diophantine of type $n-1$, then Moser's KAM theory with parameters applies to small perturbations of weaker regularity than $C^n$. Derivatives of order $n$ need not be continuous, but rather $L^2$ in a certain strong sense. This disproves the long standing conjecture that $C^n$ is the minimal regularity assumption for KAM to apply in this setting while still allowing for Herman's $C^{n-ε}\!$-counterexamples.

On the Siegel-Sternberg linearization theorem

We establish a general version of the Siegel-Sternberg linearization theorem for ultradiffentiable maps which includes the analytic case, the smooth case and the Gevrey case. It may regarded as a small divisior theorem without small divisor conditions. Along the way we give an exact characterization of those classes of ultradifferentiable maps which are closed under composition, and reprove regularity results for solutions of ode's and pde's. This will open up new directions in \textsc{kam}-theory and other applications of ultradifferentiable functions.

On ultradifferentiable functions

We give complete and exact descriptions of spaces of ultradifferentiable functions that are closed under composition with either holomorphic or ultradifferentiable functions -- which are two distinct cases. The proof works by considering formal power series, and stability under differentiation is not required. As an application of the power series approach we reprove regularity results for solutions of ode's and pde's without employing tedious estimates imploying the Faà di Bruno formula for higher derivatives of composite maps.

KAM à la R

Recently Rüssmann proposed a new new variant of KAM theory based on a slowly converging iteration scheme. It is the purpose of this note to make this scheme accessible in an even simpler setting, namely for analytic perturbations of constant vector fields on a torus. As a side effect the result may be the shortest complete KAM proof for perturbations of integrable vector fields available so far.

A lecture on the classical KAM theorem

The purpose of this lecture is to describe the KAM theorem in its most basic form and to give a complete and detailed proof. This proof essentially follows the traditional lines laid out by the inventors of this theory, and the emphasis is more on the underlying ideas than on the sharpness of the arguments.

Hill's potentials in weighted Sobolev spaces and their spectral gaps

We describe a new, short proof of some facts relating the gap lengths of the spectrum of a potential of Hill's equation to its regularity. For example, a real potential is in a weighted Gevrey-Sobolev space if and only if its gap lengths belong to a similarly weighted sequence space. An extension of this result to complex potentials is proven as well. We also recover Trubowitz results about analytic potentials. The proof essentially employs the implicit function theorem.

Normal form theory for the NLS equation

We consider the nonlinear Schrodinger equation with a cubic nonlinearity on the circle, which is known to represent an integrable Hamiltonian system. We construct a global coordinate systems, which puts this Hamiltonian into standard normal form, so that it depends only on the actions of the system.
