arXiv:math-ph/0111033 · doi:10.1006/aphy.2002.6238

Abstract

We give a detailed and mainly geometric proof of a theorem by N.N. Nekhoroshev for hamiltonian systems in degrees of freedom with constants of motion in involution, where . This states persistence of -dimensional invariant tori, and local existence of partial action-angle coordinates, under suitable nondegeneracy conditions. Thus it admits as special cases the Poincaré-Lyapounov theorem (corresponding to ) and the Liouville-Arnold one (corresponding to ), and interpolates between them. The crucial tool for the proof is a generalization of the Poincaré map, also introduced by Nekhoroshev.
