Birkhoff lower-dimensional tori in Hamiltonian systems (Q1387456)

This paper considers generalizations of Birkhoff fixed point theorem to higher dimensions. To this end, the authors study Hamiltonian systems with \(n\) degrees of freedom of the form \({\dot {\widehat x}} = {\partial H\over \partial {\widehat y}}\), \({\dot {\widehat y}} = -{\partial H\over \partial {\widehat x}}\), \({\dot u} = {\partial H\over \partial v}\), \({\dot v} =-{\partial H\over \partial u}\), where \(H(\widehat x, \widehat y,u,v) = N(\widehat y,u,v)+ P(\widehat x, \widehat y,u,v)\) is a real analytical function of its arguments, \({\widehat x} \in T^{n-m}\), \({\widehat y} \in D_1 \subset R^{n-m}\), \(u,v \in D_2 \subset R^{2m}\), \(D_1\) and \(D_2\) are closed bounded domains, and \((0,0)\) is an inner point of \(D_2\). If the perturbation \(P=0\), the unperturbed system has a family of \((n-m)\)-dimensional elliptic tori. When \( P \not= 0\), the existence of elliptic \((n-m)\)-dimensional tori has already been shown. In this paper, under some assumptions, the authors prove the existence of at least one hyperbolic \((n-m)\)-dimensional torus surrounding the original elliptic \((n-m)\)-dimensional torus when \(P \not= 0\) and is sufficiently small.
