On the stability of the set of hyperbolic closed orbits of a Hamiltonian

Publication date 6 September 2010

Abstract: A Hamiltonian level, say a pair

(H, e)

of a Hamiltonian

H

and an energy

e i n m a t h b b R

, is said to be Anosov if there exists a connected component

m a t h c a l E_{H, e}

of

H^{- 1} (e)

which is uniformly hyperbolic for the Hamiltonian flow

X_{H}^{t}

. The pair

(H, e)

is said to be a Hamiltonian star system if there exists a connected component

m a t h c a l E^{s} t a r_{H, e}

of the energy level

H^{- 1} (e)

such that all the closed orbits and all the critical points of

m a t h c a l E^{s} t a r_{H, e}

are hyperbolic, and the same holds for a connected component of the energy level

i l d e H^{- 1} (i l d e e)

, close to

m a t h c a l E^{s} t a r_{H, e}

, for any Hamiltonian

i l d e H

, in some

C^{2}

-neighbourhood of

H

, and

i l d e e

in some neighbourhood of

e

. In this article we prove that for any four-dimensional Hamiltonian star level

(H, e)

if the surface

m a t h c a l E^{s} t a r_{H, e}

does not contain critical points, then

X_{H}^{t} |_{m a t h c a l E^{s} t a r_{H, e}}

is Anosov; if

m a t h c a l E^{s} t a r_{H, e}

has critical points, then there exists

i l d e e

, arbitrarily close to

e

, such that

X_{H}^{t} |_{m a t h c a l E^{s} t a r_{H, i l d e e}}

is Anosov.
