A translation-invariant gapped local Hamiltonian is in the trivial phase if it can be connected to a completely decoupled Hamiltonian with a smooth path of translation-invariant gapped local Hamiltonians. For the ground state of such a…
In this paper we study the large time asymptotics of the flow of a dynamical system $X'=b(X)$ posed in the $d$-dimensional torus. Rather than using the classical unique ergodicity condition which is not fulfilled if $b$ vanishes at…
We review a method of control for Hamiltonian systems which is able to create smooth invariant tori. This method of control is based on an apt modification of the perturbation which is small and localized in phase space.
We describe a topological method to study the dynamics of dissipative PDEs on a torus with rapidly oscillating forcing terms. We show that a dissipative PDE, which is invariant with respect to Galilean transformations, with a large average…

Invariant tori in phase space can be constructed via a nonperturbative canonical transformation applied to a known integrable Hamiltonian H. Hitherto, this process has been carried through with H corresponding to the isochrone potential and…
The goal of this paper is to provide a methodology to prove existence of (fiberwise hyperbolic) real-analytic invariant tori in real-analytic quasi-periodic skew-product dynamical systems that present nearly-invariant tori of the same…
A method of chaos reduction for Hamiltonian systems is applied to control chaotic advection. By adding a small and simple term to the stream function of the system, the construction of invariant tori has a stabilization effect in the sense…
We establish an implicit variational principle for the equations of the contact flow generated by the Hamiltonian $H(x,u,p)$ with respect to the contact 1-form $\alpha=du-pdx$ under Tonelli and Osgood growth assumptions. It is the first…
We introduce a general variational framework to address the tunneling of hot Fermi systems. We use the representation of the trace of the imaginary time $\tau=it$ propagator as a functional integral type of a sum over complete sets of…
We consider impulsive semiflows defined on compact metric spaces and deduce a variational principle. In particular, we generalize the classical notion of topological entropy to our setting of discontinuous semiflows.
This work studies existence and regularity questions for attracting invariant tori in three dimensional dissipative systems of ordinary differential equations. Our main result is a constructive method of computer assisted proof which…
This paper presents a unifying theory of Linear second order systems that allows time-varying and time invariant systems to be treated in the same way for the first time. In the process, a transformation is given that diagonalizes an…
We provide sufficient conditions on integrable analytic Hamiltonians that guarantee the existence, under arbitrary sufficiently small analytic perturbations, of invariant lower dimensional tori associated to an invariant resonant torus of…
In 2015, M. Canadell and R. de la Llave consider a time-dependent perturbation of a vector field having an invariant torus supporting quasiperiodic solutions. Under a smallness assumption on the perturbation and assuming the perturbation…
Invariant manifolds are of fundamental importance to the qualitative understanding of dynamical systems. In this work, we explore and extend MacKay's converse KAM condition to obtain a sufficient condition for the nonexistence of invariant…
We prove the existence of small amplitude, time-quasi-periodic solutions (invariant tori) for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation on the $d$-dimensional torus $\T^d$, with a small, quasi-periodic in time external force. We also show…
Toric differential inclusions occur as key dynamical systems in the context of the Global Attractor Conjecture. We introduce the notions of minimal invariant regions and minimal globally attracting regions for toric differential inclusions.…
Nonconservative evolution problems describe irreversible processes and dissipative effects in a broad variety of phenomena. Such problems are often characterised by a conservative part, which can be modelled as a Hamiltonian term, and a…
Invariant measures encode the long-time behaviour of a dynamical system. In this work, we propose an optimization-based method to discover invariant measures directly from data gathered from a system. Our method does not require an explicit…
