We study exact, volume-preserving diffeomorphisms that have heteroclinic connections between a pair of normally hyperbolic invariant manifolds. We develop a general theory of lobes, showing that the lobe volume is given by an integral of a…
Nontwist area-preserving maps violate the twist condition at specific orbits, resulting in shearless invariant curves that prevent chaotic transport. Plasmas and fluids with nonmonotonic equilibrium profiles may be described using nontwist…
We present a KAM theorem for presymplectic dynamical systems. The theorem has a " a posteriori " format. We show that given a Diophantine frequency $\omega$ and a family of presymplectic mappings, if we find an embedded torus which is…
The regular structures of a generic 4D symplectic map with a mixed phase space are organized by one-parameter families of elliptic 1D-tori. Such families show prominent bends, gaps, and new branches. We explain these features in terms of…
We study the dynamics of the five-parameter quadratic family of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of R^3. This family is the unfolded normal form for a bifurcation of a fixed point with a triple-one multiplier and also is the general form…
On the linear level elliptic equilibria of Hamiltonian systems are mere superpositions of harmonic oscillators. Non-linear terms can produce instability, if the ratio of frequencies is rational and the Hamiltonian is indefinite. In this…
We study the problem of conservation of maximal and lower-dimensional invariant tori for analytic convex quasi-integrable Hamiltonian systems. In the absence of perturbation the lower-dimensional tori are degenerate, in the sense that the…
We consider the persistence of smooth families of invariant tori in the reversible context 2 of KAM theory under various weak nondegeneracy conditions via Herman's method. The reversible KAM context 2 refers to the situation where the…
We study quasi-periodic tori under a normal-internal resonance, possibly with multiple eigenvalues. Two non-degeneracy conditions play a role. The first of these generalizes invertibility of the Floquet matrix and prevents drift of the…
The slow deformation of terrestrial orbits in the medium range, subject to lunisolar resonances, is well approximated by a family of Hamiltonian flow with $2.5$ degree-of-freedom. The action variables of the system may experience chaotic…
In this paper we consider an analog of the regions of instability for twist maps in the context of area preserving diffeomorphisms which are not twist maps. Several properties analogous to those of classical regions of instability are…
Area-preserving nontwist maps locally violate the twist condition, giving rise to shearless curves. Nontwist systems appear in different physical contexts, such as plasma physics, climate physics, classical mechanics, etc. Generic…
Resonance processes are common phenomena in multiscale (slow-fast) systems. In the present paper we consider capture into resonance and scattering on resonance in 3-D volume-preserving slow-fast systems. We propose a general theory of those…
We study quadratic, volume preserving diffeomorphisms whose inverse is also quadratic. Such maps generalize the H\'enon area preserving map and the family of symplectic quadratic maps studied by Moser. In particular, we investigate a family…
In this paper, we consider chaotic dynamics and variational structures of area-preserving maps. There is a lot of study on dynamics of their maps and the works of Poincare and Birkhoff are well-known. To consider variational structures of…
The leading Pollicott-Ruelle resonance is calculated analytically for a general class of two-dimensional area-preserving maps. Its wave number dependence determines the normal transport coefficients. In particular, a general exact formula…
This paper mainly concerns the KAM persistence of the mapping $\mathscr{F}:\mathbb{T}^{n}\times E\rightarrow \mathbb{T}^{n}\times \mathbb{R}^{n}$ with intersection property, where $E\subset \mathbb{R}^{n}$ is a connected closed bounded…
Let $q:M\to M$ be a volume-preserving diffeomorphism of a smooth manifold $M$. We study the possibility to present $q$ as the Poincar\'e map, corresponding to a volume-preserving vector field on $\mathbb{T}\times M$, $\mathbb{T} =…
The twist interval of a twist map on the annulus $A=\mathbb{T}\times [0,1]$ has nonempty interior if $f$ preserves the area, but could be degenerate for general twist maps. In this note, we show that if a twist map $f$ is non-wandering,…
We consider models given by Hamiltonians of the form $$H(I,\phi,p,q,t;\epsilon) = h(I) + \sum_{j = 1}^n \pm(\frac{1}{2} p_j^2 + V_j(q_j)) + \epsilon Q(I,\phi,p,q,t;\epsilon)$$ where $I,\phi$ are d-dimensional actions and angles, $p,q$ are…
