Shadowing Orbits for Transition Chains of Invariant Tori Alternating with Birkhoff Zones of Instability
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider a dynamical system that exhibits transition chains of invariant tori alternating with Birkhoff zones of instability in a 2-dimensional center manifold. It is known that there exist orbits that shadow the transition chains. It is also known that there exist orbits that cross the Birkhoff zones of instability. We describe a topological mechanism that allows one to join together the two types of orbits. We prove the existence of diffusing orbits that shadow the transition chains of invariant tori and cross the Birkhoff zones of instability. This approach is motivated by what has been called the large gap problem in Hamiltonian systems.

Obstruction Argument for Transition Chains of Tori Interspersed with Gaps
We consider a dynamical system whose phase space contains a two-dimensional normally hyperbolic invariant manifold diffeomorphic to an annulus. We assume that the dynamics restricted to the annulus is given by an area preserving monotone twist map. We assume that in the annulus there exist finite sequences of primary invariant Lipschitz tori of dimension 1, with the property that the unstable m...
متن کاملDiffusion along Transition Chains of Invariant Tori and Aubry-mather Sets
We describe a topological mechanism for the existence of diffusing orbits in a dynamical system satisfying the following assumptions: (i) the phase space contains a normally hyperbolic invariant manifold diffeomorphic to a two-dimensional annulus, (ii) the restriction of the dynamics to the annulus is an area preserving monotone twist map, (iii) the annulus contains sequences of invariant tori ...
متن کاملTransition Map and Shadowing Lemma for Normally Hyperbolic Invariant Manifolds
For a given a normally hyperbolic invariant manifold, whose stable and unstable manifolds intersect transversally, we consider several tools and techniques to detect orbits with prescribed trajectories: the scattering map, the transition map, the method of correctly aligned windows, and the shadowing lemma. We provide an user’s guide on how to apply these tools and techniques to detect unstable...
متن کاملA pr 2 00 3 Periodic orbits close to elliptic tori and applications to the three - body problem Massimiliano Berti
We prove, under suitable non-resonance and non-degeneracy “twist” conditions, a Birkhoff-Lewis type result showing the existence of infinitely many periodic solutions, with larger and larger minimal period, accumulating onto elliptic invariant tori (of Hamiltonian systems). We prove the applicability of this result to the spatial planetary three-body problem in the small eccentricityinclination...
متن کاملA Partial Justification of Greene’s Criterion for Conformally Symplectic Systems
Greene’s criterion for twist mappings asserts the existence of smooth invariant circles with preassigned rotation number if and only if the periodic trajectories with frequency approaching that of the quasi-periodic orbit are linearly stable. We formulate an extension of this criterion for conformally symplectic systems in any dimension and prove one direction of the implication, namely that if...
