Abstract

In the paper we consider the one-frequency cohomological equation \begin{equation*} (\partial_x + \omega \partial_y) g(x,y) = a(x,y) \end{equation*} on the 2-torus with unknown gg and analytic initial data aa. We identify all the frequencies ω\omega for which the equation has an analytic solution and express the analytic solvability condition in terms of two Brjuno-like functions, providing explicit estimates on the sup-norm of gg. As an example we estimate the Brjuno-like functions for Diophantine and Khintchine-L\'evy numbers. We also construct an example of an arbitrarily small function aa for which an analytic gg does not exist when one of the Brjuno-like functions has infinite value.
