Abstract: In the present paper we prove a form of Arnold diffusion. The main result says that for a "generic" perturbation of a nearly integrable system of arbitrary degrees of freedom $nge2$ [ H_0(p)+eps H_1( h,p,t),quad hin T^n, pin B^n, tin T=R/T, ] with strictly convex $H_0$ there exists an orbit $(h_e,p_e)(t)$ exhibiting Arnold diffusion in the sens that [sup_{t>0}|p(t)-p(0) | >l(H_1)>0] where $l(H_1)$ is a positive constant independant of $e$. Our proof is a combination of geometric and variational methods. We first build 3-dimensional normally hyperbolic invariant cylinders of limited regularity, but of large size, extrapolating on cite{Be3} and cite{KZZ}. Once these cylinders are constructed we use versions of Mather variational method developed in Bernard cite{Be1}, Cheng-Yan cite{CY1, CY2}.
