Abstract

We consider a CrC^r semiflow {φt}t0\{ \varphi_t \}_{t \geq 0} on a Banach space XX admitting a stable fixed point xx. We show, along the lines of the parameterization method (Cabr\'e et al., 2003), the existence of a CrC^r invariant foliation tangent to X1X_1 at xx, for an arbitrary Dφt(x)D \varphi_t(x)-invariant subspace X1XX_1 \subset X satisfying some additional spectral conditions. Uniqueness ensues in a subclass of sufficiently smooth invariant foliations tangent to X1X_1 at xx. We then draw relations to Koopman theory, and thereby establish the existence and uniqueness, in some appropriate sense, of CrC^r Koopman eigenfunctions. We demonstrate that these results apply to the case of the Navier-Stokes system, the archetypal example considered by the modern upheaval of applied 'Koopmanism'.
