Twist interval for twist maps

Dynamical Systems 2018-05-29 v1

Abstract

The twist interval of a twist map on the annulus A=T×[0,1]A=\mathbb{T}\times [0,1] has nonempty interior if ff preserves the area, but could be degenerate for general twist maps. In this note, we show that if a twist map ff is non-wandering, then the twist interval of ff is non-degenerate. Moreover, if there are two disjoint invariant curves of ff, then their rotation numbers must be different (no matter if they are rational or irrational).
