Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the sharp regularity properties of a special weighted Sobolev space defined on the -dimensional torus, which is of independent interest. As a key application, we show that for almost all -dimensional vector fields, the Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser (KAM) theory holds via this regularity, and in this case, the perturbation must have classical derivatives up to order , yet it can admit unbounded weak derivatives from order to . This result may appear surprising within the classical framework of KAM theory. We also provide further discussion of historical KAM theorems and relevant counterexamples. These findings constitute a new step in the long-standing KAM regularity conjecture.
