For a positive integer n and R>0, we set B R n = x n | x < R . Given R>1 and n≥4 we construct a sequence of analytic perturbations (H j) of the completely integrable Hamiltonian h r = 1 2 r 1 2 + . . . 1 2 r n - 1 2 + r n on 𝕋 n × B R n , with unstable orbits for which we can estimate the time of drift in the action space. These functions H j are analytic on a fixed complex neighborhood V of 𝕋 n × B R n , and setting ε j : = h - H j C 0 ( V ) the time of drift of these orbits is smaller than (C(1/ɛ j)1/2(n-3)) for a fixed constant c>0. Our unstable orbits stay close to a doubly...
