Explicit Formulas for Generalized Action–Angle Variables in a Neighborhood of an Isotropic Torus and Their Application

Different versions of the Darboux–Weinstein theorem guarantee the existence of action–angle-type variables and the harmonic-oscillator variables in a neighborhood of isotropic tori in the phase space. The procedure for constructing these variables is reduced to solving a rather complicated system of partial differential equations. We show that this system can be integrated in quadratures, which permits reducing the problem of constructing these variables to solving a system of quadratic equations. We discuss several applications of this purely geometric fact in problems of classical and quantum mechanics.     

Persistence of Floquet invariant tori for a class of non-conservative dynamical systems

In this paper we consider a class of non-conservative dynamical system with small perturbation. By the KAM method we prove existence of Floquet invariant tori under the weakest non-resonant conditions.

     

B(0,N)-graded Lie superalgebras coordinatized by quantum tori Dedicated to Professor Sheng GONG on the occasion of his 75th birthday

We use a fermionic extension of the bosonic module to obtain a class of B(0, A)graded Lie superalgebras with nontrivial central extensions.     

A remark on the KAM theorem applied to a four-vortex system

We consider a planar four-vortex system with unit intensities and apply the KAM theorem for two-dimensional tori with fixed frequency. We obtain a rigorous lower bound for the stochasticity threshold of the torus with rotation number=(5—1)/2 and compare our result with numerical experiments.     

Superexponential stability of KAM tori

We study the dynamics in the neighborhood of an invariant torus of a nearly integrable system. We provide an upper bound to the diffusion speed, which turns out to be of superexponentially small size exp[-exp(1/)], being the distance from the invariant torus. We also discuss the connection of this result with the existence of many invariant tori close to the considered one.     

Numerical calculation of domains of analyticity for perturbation theories in the presence of small divisors

We study numerically the complex domains of validity for KAM theory in generalized standard mappings. We compare methods based on Padé approximants and methods based on the study of periodic orbits.     

First stability eigenvalue characterization of CMC Hopf tori into Riemannian Killing submersions

We find out upper bounds for the first eigenvalue of the stability operator for compact constant mean curvature orientable surfaces immersed in a Riemannian Killing submersion. As a consequence, the strong stability of such surfaces is studied. We also characterize constant mean curvature Hopf tori as the only ones attaining the bound in certain cases.     

Boundedness of solutions for semilinear reversible systems

In this paper we will study the boundedness of all solutions for second-order differential equations

where and satisfies the sublinear growth condition. Since the system in general is non-Hamiltonian, we have to introduce reversibility assumptions to apply the twist theorem for reversible mappings. Under some suitable conditions we then obtain the existence of invariant tori and thus the boundedness of all solutions.

     

Pseudo-Anosov Flows and Incompressible Tori

We study incompressible tori in 3-manifolds supporting pseudo-Anosov flows and more generally ZZ subgroups of the fundamental group of such a manifold. If no element in this subgroup can be represented by a closed orbit of the pseudo-Anosov flow, we prove that the flow is topologically conjugate to a suspension of an Anosov diffeomorphism of the torus. In particular it is non singular and is an Anosov flow. It follows that either a pseudo-Anosov flow is topologically conjugate to a suspension Anosov flow, or any immersed incompressible torus can be realized as a free homotopy from a closed orbit of the flow to itself. The key tool is an analysis of group actions on non-Hausdorff trees, also known as R-order trees – we produce an invariant axis in the free action case. An application of these results is the following: suppose the manifold has an R-covered foliation transverse to a pseudo-Anosov flow. If the flow is not an R-covered Anosov flow, then it follows that the manifold is atoroidal.     

Torus actions on symplectic orbi-spaces

Which -dimensional orbi-spaces have effective symplectic - torus actions? As shown by Lerman and Tolman (1997) and Watson (1997), this question reduces to that of characterizing the finite subgroups of centralizers of tori in the real symplectic group . We resolve this question, and generalize our method to a calculation of the centralizers of all tori in .
