V.I. Arnold's "Global" KAM Theorem and geometric measure estimates

This paper continues the discussion started in [CK19] concerning Arnold's legacy on classical KAM theory and (some of) its modern developments. We prove a detailed and explicit `global' Arnold's KAM Theorem, which yields, in particular, the Whitney conjugacy of a non-degenerate, real-analytic, nearly-integrable Hamiltonian system to an integrable system on a closed, nowhere dense, positive measure subset of the phase space. Detailed measure estimates on the Kolmogorov's set are provided in the case the phase space is: (A) a uniform neighborhood of an arbitrary (bounded) set times the d-torus and (B) a domain with $C^2$ boundary times the d-torus. All constants are explicitly given.

On the topology of nearly-integrable Hamiltonians at simple resonances

We show that, in general, averaging at simple resonances a real--analytic, nearly--integrable Hamiltonian, one obtains a one--dimensional system with a cosine--like potential; ``in general'' means for a generic class of holomorphic perturbations and apart from a finite number of simple resonances with small Fourier modes; ``cosine--like'' means that the potential depends only on the resonant angle, with respect to which it is a Morse function with one maximum and one minimum. \\ Furthermore, the (full) transformed Hamiltonian is the sum of an effective one--dimen\-sio\-nal Hamiltonian (which is, in turn, the sum of the unperturbed Hamiltonian plus the cosine--like potential) and a perturbation, which is exponentially small with respect to the oscillation of the potential. \\ As a corollary, under the above hypotheses, if the unperturbed Hamiltonian is also strictly convex, the effective Hamiltonian at {\sl any simple resonance} (apart a finite number of low--mode resonances) has the phase portrait of a pendulum. \\ The results presented in this paper are an essential step in the proof (in the ``mechanical'' case) of a conjecture by Arnold--Kozlov--Neishdadt (\cite[Remark~6.8, p. 285]{AKN}), claiming that the measure of the ``non--torus set'' in general nearly--integrable Hamiltonian systems has the same size of the perturbation; compare \cite{BClin}, \cite{BC}.

On the measure of Lagrangian invariant tori in nearly--integrable mechanical systems (draft)

Consider a real--analytic nearly--integrable mechanical system with potential $f$, namely, a Hamiltonian system, having a real-analytic Hamiltonian $$ H(y,x)=\frac12 | y |^2 +\e f(x)\ , $$ $y,x$ being $n$--dimensional standard action--angle variables (and $|\cdot|$ the Euclidean norm). Then, for "general" potentials $f$'s and $\e$ small enough, the Liouville measure of the complementary of invariant tori is smaller than $\e|\ln \e|^a$ (for a suitable $a>0$).
