Abstract

We consider the dd-dimensional nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation under periodic boundary conditions: iu˙=Δu+V(x)u+\ep\pF\puˉ(x,u,uˉ),u=u(t,x),x\Td-i\dot u=-\Delta u+V(x)*u+\ep \frac{\p F}{\p \bar u}(x,u,\bar u), \quad u=u(t,x), x\in\T^d where V(x)=V^(a)ei\sca,xV(x)=\sum \hat V(a)e^{i\sc{a,x}} is an analytic function with V^\hat V real, and FF is a real analytic function in u\Re u, u\Im u and xx. (This equation is a popular model for the `real' NLS equation, where instead of the convolution term VuV*u we have the potential term VuVu.) For \ep=0\ep=0 the equation is linear and has time--quasi-periodic solutions uu, u(t,x)=aA˚u^(a)ei(a2+V^(a))tei\sca,x(u^(a)>0), u(t,x)=\sum_{a\in \AA}\hat u(a)e^{i(|a|^2+\hat V(a))t}e^{i\sc{a,x}} \quad (|\hat u(a)|>0), where A˚\AA is any finite subset of Zd\Z^d. We shall treat ωa=a2+V^(a)\omega_a=|a|^2+\hat V(a), aA˚a\in\AA, as free parameters in some domain URA˚U\subset\R^{\AA}. This is a Hamiltonian system in infinite degrees of freedom, degenerate but with external parameters, and we shall describe a KAM-theory which, under general conditions, will have the following consequence: If \ep|\ep| is sufficiently small, then there is a large subset UU' of UU such that for all ωU\omega\in U' the solution uu persists as a time--quasi-periodic solution which has all Lyapounov exponents equal to zero and whose linearized equation is reducible to constant coefficients.
