Brjuno condition and renormalization for Poincaré flows (Q874712): Difference between revisions

This interesting paper deals with a renormalization scheme for analytic vector fields on the torus \(T^2 = \mathbb{R}^2/\mathbb{Z}^2\). The vector fields are required to generate flows of Poincaré type, i.e. there is a classification by a unique asymptotic slope \(\alpha\) (winding ratio) of their lifts to the universal cover. The problem which is solved in this paper is the analytic ``rectification'' of the flow generated by a close to constant vector field. That is to find an analytic conjugacy between a given flow and a linear one with the same winding ratio. More precisely, the main result of this paper is: Take the flow generated by a real-analytic vector field \(v\) on \(T^2\) sufficiently close to the constant vector field \(\omega\in\mathbb{R}^2\) and with the same winding ratio \(\alpha\). Then it is analytically conjugate to the linear flow \(\varphi_t: x\to x+ t\omega\) on \(T^2\), \(t\geq 0\), if \(\alpha\) is a Brjuno number. Moreover, the conjugacy depends analytically on \(v\).
