Quasiperiodic Poincare Persistence at High Degeneracy

Abstract

For Hamiltonian systems with degeneracy of any higher order, we study the persistence of resonant invariant tori, which as some lower-dimensional invariant tori might be elliptic, hyperbolic or of mixed types. Hence we prove a quasiperiodic Poincare theorem at high degeneracy. This answers a long standing conjecture on the persistence of resonant invariant tori in quite general situations.
