Transversal homoclinic Poincaré trajectories near a saddle-center loop in a \(2N\)-dimensional Hamiltonian system (Q1593975)

The authors consider \(C^3\) Hamiltonians of \(n\) degrees of freedom, which possess a saddle-center equilibrium, whose center manifold is filled with saddle periodic orbits. It is shown that, under two general conditions, there exist four homoclinic trajectories transversal to a unique saddle periodic orbit, for all constant values of the Hamiltonian in an open interval. They moreover show that, for any neighbourhood \(U\) of such a homoclinic trajectory, a neighbourhood \(v\) in the space of all \(C^3\) Hamiltonians exists, such that all Hamiltonians that belong in \(v\) are nonintegrable in \(U\).
