Complex Arnol'd-Liouville maps (Q6069619)

This paper considers Arnol'd-Liouville action-angle variables that depend on adiabatic invariants for real analytic Hamiltonian systems with one degree-of-freedom. The specific goal is studying the holomorphic properties of the complex continuation of these action-angle variables, and especially their behavior near separatrices. Two primary results are as follows. The first shows that, in the vicinity of the separatrices, the actions -- considered as functions of the energy -- have a special representation in terms of the affine functions of the logarithm with coefficients that are analytic functions. This result allows estimation of derivatives of the action function. The second result allows the computation of the analyticity radii of the action-angle variables in arbitrary neighborhoods of the separatrices and their behavior in a suitably scaled distance from separatrices. Later in the paper the authors consider the convexity of the inverse of the action functions near separatrices. It is also shown that there are inflection points within separatrices.
