TY - JOUR AB - In the class of strictly convex smooth boundaries each of which has no strip around its boundary foliated by invariant curves, we prove that the Taylor coefficients of the “normalized” Mather’s β-function are invariant under C∞-conjugacies. In contrast, we prove that any two elliptic billiard maps are C0-conjugate near their respective boundaries, and C∞-conjugate, near the boundary and away from a line passing through the center of the underlying ellipse. We also prove that, if the billiard maps corresponding to two ellipses are topologically conjugate, then the two ellipses are similar.

We prove a detailed and explicit `global' Arnold's KAM Theorem, which yields, in particular, the Whitney conjugacy of a non{degenerate, real{analytic, nearly-integrable Hamiltonian system to an integrable system on a closed, nowhere dense, positive measure subset of the phase space. Detailed measure estimates on the Kolmogorov's set are provided in the case the phase space is: (A) a uniform neighbourhood of an arbitrary (bounded) set times the d-torus and (B) a domain with C2 boundary times the d-torus. All constants are explicitly given.

SN - 1560-3547 TI - V.I. Arnold's ''Global'' KAM theorem and geometric measure estimates VL - 26 ER - TY - JOUR AB - We develop algorithms and techniques to compute rigorous bounds for finite pieces of orbits of the critical points, for intervals of parameter values, in the quadratic family of one-dimensional maps fa(x)=a−x2. We illustrate the effectiveness of our approach by constructing a dynamically defined partition 𝒫 of the parameter interval Ω=[1.4,2] into almost 4×106 subintervals, for each of which we compute to high precision the orbits of the critical points up to some time N and other dynamically relevant quantities, several of which can vary greatly, possibly spanning several orders of magnitude. We also subdivide 𝒫 into a family 𝒫+ of intervals, which we call stochastic intervals, and a family 𝒫− of intervals, which we call regular intervals. We numerically prove that each interval ω∈𝒫+ has an escape time, which roughly means that some iterate of the critical point taken over all the parameters in ω has considerable width in the phase space. This suggests, in turn, that most parameters belonging to the intervals in 𝒫+ are stochastic and most parameters belonging to the intervals in 𝒫− are regular, thus the names. We prove that the intervals in 𝒫+ occupy almost 90% of the total measure of Ω. The software and the data are freely available at http://www.pawelpilarczyk.com/quadr/, and a web page is provided for carrying out the calculations. The ideas and procedures can be easily generalized to apply to other parameterized families of dynamical systems.

This extends a result by D. Salamon in \cite{salamon2004kolmogorov} according to which we do have the persistence of a single KAM torus in the same framework. Moreover, it is well--known that, for the persistence of a single torus, the regularity assumption can not be improved.
