Area Preserving

AbstractThis paper represents a contribution to the variational approach to the understanding of the dynamics of exact area-preserving monotone twist maps of the annulus, currently known as the Aubry–Mather theory. The method introduced by Mather to construct invariant measures of Denjoy type is extended to produce almost-periodic measures, having arbitrary rationally independent frequencies, and positive entropy measures, supported within the gaps of Aubry–Mather sets which do not lie on invariant curves. This extension is based on a generalized version of the Percival's Lagrangian and on a new minimization procedure, which also gives a simplified proof of the basic existence theorem for the Aubry–Mather sets.

AbstractWe investigate the implications of transverse homoclinic orbits to fixed points in dissipative diffeomorphisms of the annulus. We first recover a result due to Aronsonet al.[3]: that certain such ‘rotary’ orbits imply the existence of an interval of rotation numbers in the rotation set of the diffeomorphism. Our proof differs from theirs in that we use embeddings of the Smale [61] horseshoe construction, rather than shadowing and pseudo orbits. The symbolic dynamics associated with the non-wandering Cantor set of the horseshoe is then used to prove the existence of uncountably many invariant Cantor sets (Cantori) of each irrational rotation number in the interval, some of which are shown to be ‘dissipative’ analogues of the order preserving Aubry-Mather Cantor sets found by variational methods in area preserving twist maps. We then apply our results to the Josephson junction equation, checking the necessary hypotheses via Melnikov's method, and give a partial characterization of the attracting set of the Poincaré map for this equation. This provides a concrete example of a ‘Birkhoff attractor’ [10].

AbstractLinked-twist maps are area-preserving, piecewise diffeomorphisms, defined on a subset of the torus. They are non-uniformly hyperbolic generalizations of the well-known Arnold cat map. We show that a class of canonical examples have polynomial decay of correlations for$\alpha $-Hölder observables, of order$1/ n$.

AbstractWe prove that an area-preserving twist map having an invariant curve, can be approximated by a twist map exhibiting a Birkhoff-Hénon attractor. This is done by showing that the invariant curve can be perturbed into a saddle-node cycle with criticalities and by using a recent result reported by Diaz, Rocha and Viana.

AbstractWe prove that smooth enough invariant curves of monotone twist maps of an annulus with fixed diophantine rotation number depend on the map in a differentiable way. Partial results hold for Aubry-Mather sets.Then we show that invariant curves of the same map with different rotation numbers ω and ω′ cannot approach each other at a distance less than cst. |ω−ω′|. By K.A.M. theory, this implies that, under suitable assumptions, the union of invariant curves has positive measure.Analogous results are due to Zehnder and Herman (for the first part), and to Lazutkin and Pöschel (for the second one), in the case of Hamiltonian systems and area preserving maps.
