The dynamics of pseudographs in convex Hamiltonian systems
2008
Overview
We study the evolution, under convex Hamiltonian flows on cotangent bundles of compact manifolds, of certain distinguished subsets of the phase space. These subsets are generalizations of Lagrangian graphs, which we call pseudographs. They emerge in a natural way from Fathi’s weak KAM theory. By this method, we find various orbits which connect prescribed regions of the phase space. Our study was inspired by works of John Mather. As an application, we obtain the existence of diffusion in a large class of a priori unstable systems and provide a solution to the large gap problem. We hope that our method will have applications to more examples. Résumé. Nous étudions l’évolution, par le flot d’un Hamiltonien convexe sur une variété compacte, de certains ensembles de l’espace des phases. Nous appelons pseudographes ces ensembles, qui sont des généralisations de graphes Lagrangiens apparaissant de manière naturelle dans la théorie KAM faible de Fathi. Par cette méthode, nous trouvons diverses orbites qui joignent des domaines donnés de l’espace des phases. Notre étude s’inspire de travaux de John Mather. Nous obtenons l’existence de diffusion dans une large classe de systèmes à priori instables comme application de cette méthode, qui permet de résoudre le probleme de l’écart entre les tores invariants. Nous espérons que la méthode s’appliquera à d’autres exemples.
