Investigation of invariant deformations of integral manifolds of adiabatically perturbed completely integrable hamiltonian systems. I

By using the Cartan differential-geometric theory of integral submanifolds (invariant tori) of completely Liouville-Arnol’d integrable Hamiltonian systems on the cotangent phase space, we consider an algebraic-analytic method for the investigation of the corresponding mapping of imbedding of an invariant torus into the phase space. This enables one to describe analytically the structure of quasiperiodic solutions of the Hamiltonian system under consideration. Academician.

Invariant tori of locally Hamiltonian systems close to conditionally integrable systems

We study the problem of perturbations of quasiperiodic motions in the class of locally Hamiltonian systems. By using methods of the KAM-theory, we prove a theorem on the existence of invariant tori of locally Hamiltonian systems close to conditionally integrable systems. On the basis of this theorem, we investigate the bifurcation of a Cantor set of invariant tori in the case where a Liouville-integrable system is perturbed by a locally Hamiltonian vector field and, simultaneously, the symplectic structure of the phase space is deformed. __________ Translated from Ukrains’kyi Matematychnyi Zhurnal, Vol. 59, No. 1, pp. 71–98, January, 2007.

We prove a theorem on the preservation of the majority of tori under small perturbations of the Hamiltonian.

On the stability of the equilibrium states for Hamiltonian dynamical systems arising in non–equilibrium thermodynamics

In this paper we consider a thermodynamic system with an internal state variable, and study the stability of its equilibrium states by exploiting the reduced entropy inequality. Remarkably, we derive a Hamiltonian dynamical system ruling the evolution of the system in a suitable thermodynamic phase space. The use of the Hamiltonian formalism allows us to prove the equivalence of the asymptotic stability at constant temperature, at constant entropy and at constant energy, thus extending some classical results by Coleman and Gurtin (J. Chem. Phys., 47, 597–613, 1967).     

Bifurcation of a Whitney-Smooth Family of Coisotropic Invariant Tori of a Hamiltonian System under Small Deformations of a Symplectic Structure

We investigate the influence of small deformations of a symplectic structure and perturbations of the Hamiltonian on the behavior of a completely integrable Hamiltonian system. We show that a Whitney-smooth family of coisotropic invariant tori of the perturbed system emerges in the neighborhood of a certain submanifold of the phase space.     

Stability of a Hamiltonian system in a limiting case

We give a fairly simple geometric proof that an equilibrium point of a Hamiltonian system of two degrees of freedom is Liapunov stable in a degenerate case. That is the 1: −1 resonance case where the linearized system has double pure imaginary eigenvalues ±iω, ω ≠ 0 and the Hamiltonian is indefinite. The linear system is weakly unstable, but if a particular coefficient in the normalized Hamiltonian is of the correct sign then Moser’s invariant curve theorem can be applied to show that the equilibrium point is encased in invariant tori and thus it is stable.     

Bifurcations of the Hamiltonian Fourfold 1:1 Resonance with Toroidal Symmetry

This paper deals with the analysis of Hamiltonian Hopf as well as saddle-center bifurcations in 4-DOF systems defined by perturbed isotropic oscillators (1:1:1:1 resonance), in the presence of two quadratic symmetries Ξ and L ₁. When we normalize the system with respect to the quadratic part of the energy and carry out a reduction with respect to a three-torus group we end up with a 1-DOF system with several parameters on the thrice reduced phase space. Then, we focus our analysis on the evolution of relative equilibria around singular points of this reduced phase space. In particular, dealing with the Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcation the ‘geometric approach’ is used, following the steps set up by one of the authors in the context of 3-DOF systems. In order to see the interplay between integrals and physical parameters in the analysis of bifurcations, we consider as a perturbation a one-parameter family, which in particular includes one of the classical Stark–Zeeman models (parallel case) in three dimensions.     

On the accuracy of conservation of adiabatic invariants in slow-fast Hamiltonian systems

Let the adiabatic invariant of action variable in a slow-fast Hamiltonian system with two degrees of freedom have limits along the trajectories as time tends to plus and minus infinity. The difference of these two limits is exponentially small in analytic systems. An isoenergetic reduction and canonical transformations are applied to transform the slow-fast system to form of a system depending on a slowly varying parameter in a complexified phase space. On the basis of this method an estimate for the accuracy of conservation of adiabatic invariant is given.     

Localization of invariant compacta of autonomous systems

A class of problems that may be characterized as localization problems are becoming increasingly popular in qualitative theory of differential equations [1–15]. The specific formulations differ, but geometrically all search for phase space subsets with desired properties, e.g., contain certain solutions of the system of differential equations. Such problems include construction of positive invariant sets that contain certain separatrices of the Lorenz system [1], analysis of asymptotic behavior of solutions of the Lorenz system and determination of sets that contain the Lorenz attractor [2–5, 14], as well as determination of sets containing all periodic trajectories [6–13], separatrices, and other trajectories [10, 11]. Such sets may be naturally called localizing sets and it is obviously interesting to study methods and results that produce exact or nearly exact localizing sets for each phase space structure. In this article we focus on localization of the invariant compact sets in the phase space of a differential equation system, specifically the problem of finding phase space subsets that contain all the invariant compacta of the system. Invariant compact sets are equilibria, periodic trajectories, separatrices, limit cycles, invariant tori, and other sets and their finite unions. These sets and their properties largely determine the phase space structure and the qualitative behavior of solutions of the differential equation system.     

Partial preservation of frequencies and floquet exponents in KAM theory

Under a small perturbation of a completely integrable Hamiltonian system, invariant tori with Diophantine frequencies of motion are not destroyed but only slightly deformed, provided that the Hessian (with respect to the action variables) of the unperturbed Hamiltonian vanishes nowhere (the Kolmogorov nondegeneracy). The motion on every perturbed torus is quasiperiodic with the same frequencies. In this sense the frequencies of invariant tori of the unperturbed system are preserved. Recently, it has been found that the Kolmogorov nondegeneracy condition can be weakened so as to guarantee the preservation of only some subset of frequencies. Such partial preservation of frequencies can also be defined for lower dimensional invariant tori, whose dimension is less than the number of degrees of freedom. We consider a more general problem of partial preservation not only of the frequencies of invariant tori but also of their Floquet exponents (the eigenvalues of the coefficient matrix of the variational equation along the torus). The results are formulated for Hamiltonian, reversible, and dissipative systems (with a complete proof for the reversible case). Original Russian Text ? M.B.

Gibbs random fields invariant under infinite-particle Hamiltonian dinamics

The Liouville operator for an infinite-particle Hamiltonian dynamics corresponding to interaction potentialU is used to introduce the concept of a locally weakly invariant measure on the phase space and to show that if a Gibbs measure with potential of general form is locally weakly invariant then its Hamiltonian is asymptotically an additive integral of the motion of the particles with the interactionU.Moscow State University.

On the Uniqueness of Hofer��s Geometry

We study the class of pseudo-norms on the space of smooth functions on a closed symplectic manifold, which are invariant under the action of the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms. Our main result shows that any such pseudo-norm that is continuous with respect to the C ^∞-topology, is dominated from above by the L _∞-norm. As a corollary, we obtain that any bi-invariant Finsler pseudo-metric on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms that is generated by an invariant pseudonorm that satisfies the aforementioned continuity assumption, is either identically zero or equivalent to Hofer’s metric.     

Umbilical torus bifurcations in Hamiltonian systems

We consider perturbations of integrable Hamiltonian systems in the neighbourhood of normally umbilic invariant tori. These lower dimensional tori do not satisfy the usual non-degeneracy conditions that would yield persistence by an adaption of KAM theory, and there are indeed regions in parameter space with no surviving torus. We assume appropriate transversality conditions to hold so that the tori in the unperturbed system bifurcate according to a (generalised) umbilical catastrophe. Combining techniques of KAM theory and singularity theory we show that such bifurcation scenarios of invariant tori survive the perturbation on large Cantor sets. Applications to gyrostat dynamics are pointed out.     

From Generalized Clifford Algebras to nambu’s formulation of dynamics

We consider a commutative part of the Generalized Clifford Algebras, denominated asalgebra of multicomplex numbers. By using the multicomplex algebra as underlying algebraic structure we construct oscillator model for the Nambu’s formulation of dynamics. We propose a new dynamicals principle which gives rise to two kinds of Hamilton-Nambu equations inD≥2-dimensional phase space. The first one is formulated with (D−1)-evolution parameter and a single Hamiltonian. The Haniltonian of the oscillator model in such dynamics is given byD-degree homogeneous form. In the second formulation, vice versa, the evolution of the system along a single evolution parameter is generated by (D−1) Hamiltonian.     

One family of conformally Hamiltonian systems

We propose a method for constructing conformally Hamiltonian systems of dynamical equations whose invariant measure arises from the Hamiltonian equations of motion after a change of variables including a change of time. As an example, we consider the Chaplygin problem of the rolling ball and the Veselova system on the Lie algebra e*(3) and prove their complete equivalence.     

具拟周期摄动的近可积Hamiltonian系统的KAM型定理

In this paper we consider the persistence of invariant tori of an integrable Hamiltonian system with a quasiperiodic perturbation. It is proved that if the unperturbed system satisfies the Rtissmann non-degenerate condition and the perturbed system satisfies the co-linked non-resonant condition, then the majority of invariant tori is persistent under the perturbation.     

Numerical invariant tori of symplectic integrators for integrable Hamiltonian systems

In this paper, we study the persistence of invariant tori of integrable Hamiltonian systems satisfying Rssmann's non-degeneracy condition when symplectic integrators are applied to them. Meanwhile, we give an estimate of the measure of the set occupied by the invariant tori in the phase space. On an invariant torus,numerical solutions are quasi-periodic with a diophantine frequency vector of time step size dependence. These results generalize Shang's previous ones(1999, 2000), where the non-degeneracy condition is assumed in the sense of Kolmogorov.     

Heteroclinic Transition Motions in Periodic Perturbations of Conservative Systems with an Application to Forced Rigid Body Dynamics

We consider periodic perturbations of conservative systems. The unperturbed systems are assumed to have two nonhyperbolic equilibria connected by a heteroclinic orbit on each level set of conservative quantities. These equilibria construct two normally hyperbolic invariant manifolds in the unperturbed phase space, and by invariant manifold theory there exist two normally hyperbolic, locally invariant manifolds in the perturbed phase space. We extend Melnikov’s method to give a condition under which the stable and unstable manifolds of these locally invariant manifolds intersect transversely. Moreover, when the locally invariant manifolds consist of nonhyperbolic periodic orbits, we show that there can exist heteroclinic orbits connecting periodic orbits near the unperturbed equilibria on distinct level sets. This behavior can occur even when the two unperturbed equilibria on each level set coincide and have a homoclinic orbit. In addition, it yields transition motions between neighborhoods of very distant periodic orbits, which are similar to Arnold diffusion for three or more degree of freedom Hamiltonian systems possessing a sequence of heteroclinic orbits to invariant tori, if there exists a sequence of heteroclinic orbits connecting periodic orbits successively.We illustrate our theory for rotational motions of a periodically forced rigid body. Numerical computations to support the theoretical results are also given.     

Persistence of hyperbolic tori in Hamiltonian systems

We generalize the well-known result of Graff and Zehnder on the persistence of hyperbolic invariant tori in Hamiltonian systems by considering non-Floquet, frequency varying normal forms and allowing the degeneracy of the unperturbed frequencies. The preservation of part or full frequency components associated to the degree of non-degeneracy is considered. As applications, we consider the persistence problem of hyperbolic tori on a submanifold of a nearly integrable Hamiltonian system and the persistence problem of a fixed invariant hyperbolic torus in a non-integrable Hamiltonian system.     

Equivariant normal form for nondegenerate singular orbits of integrable Hamiltonian systems

We consider an integrable Hamiltonian system with n degrees of freedom whose first integrals are invariant under the symplectic action of a compact Lie group G. We prove that the singular Lagrangian foliation associated to this Hamiltonian system is symplectically equivalent, in a G-equivariant way, to the linearized foliation in a neighborhood of a compact singular nondegenerate orbit. We also show that the nondegeneracy condition is not equivalent to the nonresonance condition for smooth systems.
