The essential coexistence phenomenon in Hamiltonian dynamics

Abstract

We construct an example of a Hamiltonian flow ftf^t on a 44-dimensional smooth manifold M\mathcal{M} which after being restricted to an energy surface Me\mathcal{M}_e demonstrates essential coexistence of regular and chaotic dynamics that is there is an open and dense ftf^t-invariant subset UMeU\subset\mathcal{M}_e such that the restriction ftUf^t|U has non-zero Lyapunov exponents in all directions (except the direction of the flow) and is a Bernoulli flow while on the boundary U\partial U, which has positive volume all Lyapunov exponents of the system are zero.
