Abstract: A nearly-integrable dynamical system has a natural formulation in terms of actions, $y$ (nearly constant), and angles, $x$ (nearly rigidly rotating with frequency $Omega(y)$). We study angle-action maps that are close to symplectic and have a positive-definite twist, the derivative of the frequency map, $DOmega(y)$. When the map is symplectic, Nekhoroshev's theorem implies that the actions are confined for exponentially long times: the drift is exponentially small and numerically appears to be diffusive. We show that when the symplectic condition is relaxed, but the map is still volume-preserving, the actions can have a strong drift along resonance channels. Averaging theory is used to compute the drift for the case of rank-$r$ resonances. A comparison with computations for a generalized Froeschl'e map in four-dimensions, shows that this theory gives accurate results for the rank-one case.

Review text

This paper concerns with transport in maps \((x^{\prime}, y^{\prime})=f(x, y; \varepsilon )\) on \(\mathbb{T}^d\times \mathbb{R}^k\) with \(d\) angle and \(k\) action variables, that are volume-preserving but not necessarily symplectic. The formal parameter \(\varepsilon \) is chosen such that at \(\varepsilon =0\) the actions are constant and the angles undergo a rigid rotation with an action-dependent rotation vector. An important topic in this setting is the resonance of an orbit \(\{(x(t), y(t)); t\in \mathbb{Z}\}\). Its rotation vector \(\omega \in \mathbb{R}^d\) is obtained by lifting the angle variable to \(\mathbb{R}^d\) and computing the limit \[ \omega =\lim_{t\rightarrow \infty}\frac{1}{t}(x(t)-x(0)), \] if the limit exists. The orbit is said {to be in a resonance} if \(\omega \) satisfies at least one relation of the form \(m\cdot \omega =n\) for \(m\in \mathbb{Z}^d\setminus \{0\}\) and \(n\in \mathbb{Z}\). The main result is that the resonant force can be in any direction and in particular, can have components along the resonant manifold, causing strong drifts. Numerical simulations are also considered.
