Renormalization of Vector Fields

چکیده
These notes cover some of the recent developments in the renormalization of quasiperiodic flows. This includes skew flows over tori, Hamiltonian flows, and other flows on T×R. After stating some of the problems and describing alternative approaches, we focus on the definition and basic properties of a single renormalization step. A second part deals with the construction of conjugacies and invariant tori, including shearless tori, and non-differentiable tori for critical Hamiltonians. Then we discuss properties related to the spectrum of the linearized renormalization transformation, such as the accumulation rates for sequences of closed orbits. The last part describes extensions from “self-similar” to Diophantine rotation vectors. This involves sequences of renormalization transformations that are related to continued fractions expansions in one and more dimensions. Whenever appropriate, the discussion of details is restricted to special cases where inessential technical complications can be avoided. 1 Expanded notes from a mini-course given at the Fields Institute in Toronto, Canada, November 2005 2 Department of Mathematics, The University of Texas at Austin, 1 University Station C1200, Austin, TX

متن کاملA renormalization group approach to quasiperiodic motion with Brjuno frequencies
We introduce a renormalization group scheme that applies to vector fields on Td×Rm with frequency vectors that satisfy a Brjuno condition. Earlier approaches were restricted to Diophantine frequencies, due to a limited control of multidimensional continued fractions. We get around this restriction by avoiding the use of a continued fractions expansion. Our results concerning invariant tori gene...
متن کاملHarmonicity and Minimality of Vector Fields on Lorentzian Lie Groups
We consider four-dimensional lie groups equipped with left-invariant Lorentzian Einstein metrics, and determine the harmonicity properties of vector fields on these spaces. In some cases, all these vector fields are critical points for the energy functional restricted to vector fields. We also classify vector fields defining harmonic maps, and calculate explicitly the energy of t...
متن کاملC1 Approximation of Vector Fields Based on the Renormalization Group Method
The renormalization group (RG) method for differential equations is one of the perturbation methods for obtaining solutions which approximate exact solutions for a long time interval. This article shows that, for a differential equation associated with a given vector field on a manifold, a family of approximate solutions obtained by the RG method defines a vector field which is close to the ori...
متن کاملSome vector fields on a riemannian manifold with semi-symmetric metric connection
In the first part of this paper, some theorems are given for a Riemannian manifold with semi-symmetric metric connection. In the second part of it, some special vector fields, for example, torse-forming vector fields, recurrent vector fields and concurrent vector fields are examined in this manifold. We obtain some properties of this manifold having the vectors mentioned above.

In this paper, we prove that a non-Riemannian isotropic Berwald metric or a non-Riemannian (α,β) -metric admits no concurrent vector fields. We also prove that an L-reducible Finsler metric admitting a concurrent vector field reduces to a Landsberg metric.In this paper, we prove that a non-Riemannian isotropic Berwald metric or a non-Riemannian (α,β) -metric admits no concurrent vector fi...
