Based on quantitative ``{\sc kam} theory'', we state and prove two theorems about the continuation of maximal and whiskered quasi--periodic motions to slightly perturbed systems exhibiting proper degeneracy. Next, we apply such results to…
This paper demonstrates sufficient conditions for the existence of KAM tori in a singly thermostated, integrable hamiltonian system with $n$ degrees of freedom with a focus on the generalized, variable-mass thermostats of order 2--which…
The ``Fundamental Theorem" given by Arnold in [2] asserts the persistence of full dimensional invariant tori for 2-scale Hamiltonian systems. However, persistence in multi-scale systems is much more complicated and difficult. In this paper,…
In [3] (Rend. Lincei Mat. Appl. 26 (2015), 1-10; see also arXiv:1503.08145 [math.DS]) the following result has been announced: Theorem. Consider a real-analytic nearly-integrable mechanical system with potential $f$, namely, a Hamiltonian…
We adapt the Kolmogorov's normalization algorithm (which is the key element of the original proof scheme of the KAM theorem) to the construction of a suitable normal form related to an invariant elliptic torus. As a byproduct, our procedure…
We present a diffusion mechanism for time-dependent perturbations of autonomous Hamiltonian systems introduced in [25]. This mechanism is based on shadowing of pseudo-orbits generated by two dynamics: an `outer dynamics', given by…
This paper studies the existence of invariant smooth Lagrangian graphs for Tonelli Hamiltonian systems with symmetries. In particular, we consider Tonelli Hamiltonians with n independent but not necessarily involutive constants of motion…
There are many interesting dynamical systems in which degenerate invariant tori appear. We give conditions under which these degenerate tori have stable and unstable invariant manifolds, with stable and unstable directions having arbitrary…
We prove, under suitable non-resonance and non-degeneracy ``twist'' conditions, a Birkhoff-Lewis type result showing the existence of infinitely many periodic solutions, with larger and larger minimal period, accumulating onto elliptic…
In this note we present and briefly discuss results, which include as a particular case the theorem announced in [L. Biasco, and L. Chierchia. On the measure of Lagrangian invariant tori in nearly-integrable mechanical systems. Atti Accad.…
We give a proof of the KAM theorem on the existence of invariant tori for weakly perturbed Hamiltonian systems, based on Thirring's approach for Hamiltonians that are quadratic in the action variables. The main point of this approach is…
For an integrable Hamiltonian systems with $d$ degrees of freedom ($d\geq 2$), we consider quantitatively the existence and non-existence of the flow-invariant Lagrangian torus with given frequency under the perturbation beyond the scope of…
We consider a class of a priori stable quasi-integrable analytic Hamiltonian systems and study the regularity of low-dimensional hyperbolic invariant tori as functions of the perturbation parameter. We show that, under natural nonresonance…
We apply Arnold's theory of generic smooth plane curves to Stark-Zeeman systems. This is a class of Hamiltonian dynamical systems that describes the dynamics of an electron in an external electric and magnetic field, and includes many…
Poincar\'e's work more than one century ago, or Laskar's numerical simulations from the 1990's on, have irrevocably impaired the long-held belief that the Solar System should be stable. But mathematical mechanisms explaining this…
We present a relativistic covariant form of many-body theory. The many-body covariant Lagrangian is derived from QED by integrating out the internal non-quantized electromagnetic field. The ordinary many-body Hamiltonian is recovered as an…
This paper demonstrates sufficient conditions for the existence of a positive measure set of invariant KAM tori in a singly thermostated, 1 degree-of-freedom hamiltonian vector field. This result is applied to 4 important single thermostats…
We develop an abstract KAM theorem for systems of infinitely many interacting particles with decaying masses and all-to-all interactions. Using this framework, we construct full-dimensional KAM tori for infinite-dimensional mechanical…
In the nineties, Michel Herman conjectured the existence of a positive measure set of invariant tori at an elliptic diophantine critical point of a hamiltonian function. I show that KAM versal deformation theory solves positively this…
Consider an integer $n \geq 2$ and real numbers $\tau>n-1$ and $l>2(\tau+1)$. Using ideas of Moser, Salamon proved that individual Diophantine tori persist for Hamiltonian systems which are of class $C^l$. Under the stronger assumption that…
