Hamiltonian dynamical systems tend to have infinitely many periodic orbits. For example, for a broad class of symplectic manifolds almost all levels of a proper smooth Hamiltonian carry periodic orbits. The Hamiltonian Seifert conjecture is…
Interacting systems consisting of two rotators and a point mass near a hyperbolic fixed point are considered, in a case in which the uncoupled systems have three very different characteristic time scales. The abundance of quasi periodic…
We introduce and analyze a model for the transport of particles or energy in extended lattice systems. The dynamics of the model acts on a discrete phase space at discrete times but has nonetheless some of the characteristic properties of…
Motivated by the Gray code interpretation of Hamiltonian cycles in Cayley graphs, we investigate the existence of Hamiltonian cycles in tope graphs of hyperplane arrangements, with a focus on simplicial, reflection, and supersolvable…
The main purpose of this paper is to introduce a new class of Hamiltonian scattering systems of the cone potential type that can be integrated via the asymptotic velocity. For a large subclass, the asymptotic data of the trajectories define…
In this paper some piecewise smooth perturbations of a three-dimensional differential system are considered. The existence of invariant manifolds filled by periodic orbits is obtained after suitable small perturbations of the original…
We provide numerical evidence of global diffusion occurring in slightly perturbed integrable Hamiltonian systems and symplectic maps. We show that even if a system is sufficiently close to be integrable, global diffusion occurs on a set…
The main theme of this paper is a relative version of the almost existence theorem for periodic orbits of autonomous Hamiltonian systems. We show that almost all low levels of a function on a geometrically bounded symplectically aspherical…
In this article we prove that for a diffeomorphism on a compact Riemannian manifold, if there is a nontrival homoclinic class that is not uniformly hyperbolic or the diffeomorphism is a $C^{1+\alpha}$ and there is a hyperbolic ergodic…
As a refinement of the Weinstein conjecture, it is a natural question whether a Reeb orbit of particular types exists. D. Cristofaro-Gardiner, M. Hutchings and D. Pomerleano showed that every nondegenerate closed contact three manifold with…
We study the evolution, under convex Hamiltonian flows on cotangent bundles of compact manifolds, of certain distinguished subsets of the phase space. These subsets are generalizations of Lagrangian graphs, we call them pseudographs. They…
We consider a class of autonomous Hamiltonian systems subject to small, time-periodic perturbations. When the perturbation parameter is set to zero, the energy of the system is preserved. This is no longer the case when the perturbation…
It is well known that instabilities of nearly integrable Hamiltonian systems occur around resonances. Dynamics near resonances of these systems is well approximated by the associated averaged system, called slow system. Each resonance is…
The present paper is a review of counterexamples to the ``Hamiltonian Seifert conjecture'' or, more generally, of examples of Hamiltonian systems having no periodic orbits on a compact energy level. We begin with the discussion of the…
We prove the existence of normally hyperbolic invariant cylinders in nearly integrable hamiltonian systems.
Superdiffusion is surprisingly easily observed even in systems without the integrability underpinning this phenomenon. Indeed, the classical Heisenberg chain -- one of the simplest many-body systems, and firmly believed to be non-integrable…
In the present paper we consider a generic perturbation of a nearly integrable system of $n$ and a half degrees of freedom $ H_\epsilon(\theta,p,t)=H_0(p)+\epsilon H_1(\theta,p,t)$, with a strictly convex $H_0$. For $n=2$ we show that at a…
We prove the existence of at least $cl(M)$ periodic orbits for certain time dependant Hamiltonian systems on the cotangent bundle of an arbitrary compact manifold $M$. These Hamiltonians are not necessarily convex but they satisfy a certain…
We scrutinize the anomalies in diffusion observed in an extended long-range system of classical rotors, the HMF model. Under suitable preparation, the system falls into long-lived quasi-stationary states presenting super-diffusion of rotor…
We show the existence of drifting orbits for certain perturbations of non-convex Hamiltonian systems with several degrees of freedom. These orbits remain in the vicinity of resonant surfaces where the action variables can undergo changes…
