We consider the semiclassical magnetic Laplacian $\mathcal{L}_h$ on a Riemannian manifold, with a constant-rank and non-vanishing magnetic field $B$. Under the localization assumption that $B$ admits a unique and non-degenerate well, we…
We consider the semilinear harmonic oscillator $$i\psi_t=(-\Delta +\va{x}^{2} +M)\psi +\partial_2 g(\psi,\bar \psi), \quad x\in \R^d, t\in \R$$ where $M$ is a Hermite multiplier and $g$ a smooth function globally of order 3 at least. We…

Consider an analytic Hamiltonian system near its analytic invariant torus $\mathcal T_0$ carrying zero frequency. We assume that the Birkhoff normal form of the Hamiltonian at $\mathcal T_0$ is convergent and has a particular form: it is an…
A normal form is derived for Hamiltonian-Hopf bifurcations of solitary waves in generalized nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations. This normal form is a simple second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation that is asymptotically…
We show that for $n \geq 2$ there exist real analytic Hamiltonian systems on $\mathbf{R}^{2n}$ with non-resonant eigenvalues at a singular point, of which the Birkhoff normal form itself is divergent. The proof of the result is achieved by…
For piecewise monotone interval maps we look at Birkhoff spectra for regular potential functions. This means considering the Hausdorff dimension of the set of points for which the Birkhoff average of the potential takes a fixed value. In…
