Renormalisation of flows on the multidimensional torus close to a KT frequency vector

We use a renormalisation operator R acting on a space of vector fields on the d-torus, d>1, to prove the existence of a submanifold of vector fields equivalent to constant. The result comes from the existence of a fixed point w of R which is hyperbolic. This is done for a certain class KT of constant vector fields w, called of Koch type. The transformation R is constructed using a time rescaling, a linear change of basis plus a periodic non-linear map isotopic to the identity, which we derive by a ``homotopy trick''.

Renormalisation scheme for vector fields on T2 with a diophantine frequency

We construct a rigorous renormalisation scheme for analytic vector fields on the 2-torus of Poincare type. We show that iterating this procedure there is convergence to a limit set with a ``Gauss map'' dynamics on it, related to the continued fraction expansion of the slope of the frequencies. This is valid for diophantine frequency vectors.
