Global linearization and fiber bundle structure of invariant manifolds

Abstract

We study global properties of the global (center-)stable manifold of a normally attracting invariant manifold (NAIM), the special case of a normally hyperbolic invariant manifold (NHIM) with empty unstable bundle. We restrict our attention to continuous-time dynamical systems, or flows. We show that the global stable foliation of a NAIM has the structure of a topological disk bundle, and that similar statements hold for inflowing NAIMs and for general compact NHIMs. Furthermore, the global stable foliation has a $C^k$ disk bundle structure if the local stable foliation is assumed $C^k$. We then show that the dynamics restricted to the stable manifold of a compact inflowing NAIM are globally topologically conjugate to the linearized transverse dynamics at the NAIM. Moreover, we give conditions ensuring the existence of a global $C^k$ linearizing conjugacy. We also prove a $C^k$ global linearization result for inflowing NAIMs; we believe that even the local version of this result is new, and may be useful in applications to slow-fast systems. We illustrate the theory by giving applications to geometric singular perturbation theory in the case of an attracting critical manifold: we show that the domain of the Fenichel Normal Form can be extended to the entire global stable manifold, and under additional nonresonance assumptions we derive a smooth global linear normal form.
