We present a proof of Herman’s Last Geometric Theorem asserting that if is a smooth diffeomorphism of the annulus having the intersection property, then any given -invariant smooth curve on which the rotation number of is Diophantine is accumulated by a positive measure set of smooth invariant curves on which is smoothly conjugated to rotation maps. This implies in particular that a Diophantine elliptic fixed point of an area preserving diffeomorphism of the plane is stable. The remarkable...
A family of integrable geodesic flows is obtained. Any such a family corresponds to a pair of geodesically equivalent metrics.
We show that if is a closed symplectic manifold which admits a nontrivial Hamiltonian vector field all of whose contractible closed orbits are constant, then Hofer’s metric on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of has infinite diameter, and indeed admits infinite-dimensional quasi-isometrically embedded normed vector spaces. A similar conclusion applies to Hofer’s metric on various spaces of Lagrangian submanifolds, including those Hamiltonian-isotopic to the diagonal in when satisfies...
We consider a conservative second order Hamiltonian system in ℝ3 with a potential V having a global maximum at the origin and a line l ∩ 0 = ϑ as a set of singular points. Under a certain compactness condition on V at infinity and a strong force condition at singular points we study, by the use of variational methods and geometrical arguments, the existence of homoclinic solutions of the system.
By using the critical point method, some new criteria are obtained for the existence and multiplicity of homoclinic solutions to a 2nth-order nonlinear difference equation. The proof is based on the Mountain Pass Lemma in combination with periodic approximations. Our results extend and improve some known ones.
