Instabilities of invariant quasi-periodic tori (Q2098201)

Summary: We prove the existence of real analytic Hamiltonians with topologically unstable quasi-periodic invariant tori. Using various versions of our examples, we solve the following problems in the stability theory of analytic quasi-periodic motion: \begin{itemize} \item[(1)] Show the existence of topologically unstable tori of arbitrary frequency. Moreover, the Birkhoff Normal Form at the invariant torus can be chosen to be convergent, equal to a planar or non-planar polynomial. \item[(2)] Show the optimality of the exponential stability for Diophantine tori. \item[(3)] Show the existence of real analytic Hamiltonians that are integrable on half of the phase space, and such that all orbits on the other half accumulate at infinity. \item[(4)] For sufficiently Liouville vectors, obtain invariant tori that are not accumulated by a positive measure set of quasi-periodic invariant tori. \end{itemize}
