The equation considered is \(u_{tt}= u_{xx}- mu- f(u)\) on \(0\leq x\leq\pi\) with \(u(t,0)= 0=u(t,\pi)\) for \(t\in\mathbb{R}\), with \(m>0\), and odd \(f(u)= au^3+ \sum^\infty_{k=2} f_{2k+1} u^{2k+1}\), \(a\neq 0\), including the sine/sinh-Gordon and \(\phi^4\)-equation. To get quasiperiodic solutions, embeddings of invariant rotational tori in the phase space are constructed, on which the flow is linear: For small amplitudes, the existence of a large ``Cantor subfamily'' of such rotational tori as slight deformations of the linear case is shown. The appearing frequencies are ``diophantine'', the union of these Cantor manifolds meets every open cone in the solution space, with density 1 at the origin. For this, an extension of the KAM theory to infinite-dimensional Hamilton systems is used, with a symplectic coordinate transformation for \(f(u)= \mp u^3\). The full proof will appear elsewhere. The paper closes with some remarks about generalizations (e.g. \(f_k= f_k(x)\), small perturbations, terms of order 4) and open questions. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0936.00033].
