AbstractWe study dissipative twist maps of the annulus, following the ideas of G. D. Birkhoff explained in an article of 1932.In the first part, we give complete and rigorous proofs of the results of this article. We define the Birkhoff attractor of a dissipative twist map which has an attracting bounded annulus, we give its main properties and we define its upper and lower rotation numbers.In the second part we give further results on these sets, thus we show that they often coincide with the closure of a hyperbolic periodic point and that they can contain an infinite number of sinks. We also show that the Birkhoff attractors don't depend on a continuous way on the maps.

AbstractWe present an existence theorem for certain kinds of orbits of a monotone twist map and use it to obtain a criterion for proving that there are no invariant circles with a certain range of rotation numbers. We have used this criterion to prove (computer assisted) that the standard map has no invariant circles for several parameter values includingk= 0.9718.

Area Preserving

AbstractIn this report we show that a twist map of an annulus with a periodic point of rotation number p/q must have a Birkhoff periodic point of rotation number p/q. We use topological techniques so no assumption of area-preservation or circle intersection property is needed. If the map is area-preserving then this theorem andthe fixed point theorem of Birkhoff imply a recent theorem of Aubry and Mather. We also show that periodic orbits of (significantly) smallest period for a twist map must be Birkhoff.

According to a theorem of Moser, every monotone twist map $\varphi$ on the cylinder ${\Bbb S}^1\times {\Bbb R}$, which is integrable outside a compact set, is the time-1-map $\varphi_H^1$ of a fibrewise convex Hamiltonian $H$. In this paper we prove that if this particular flow $\varphi_H^t$ is also integrable outside a compact set, then $\varphi$ has to be integrable on the whole cylinder (and vice versa, of course). From this dynamical point of view, integrable twist maps appear to be quite rigid.As is shown in the appendix, an analogous rigidity result becomes trivial in higher dimensions.

AbstractWe investigate the implications of transverse homoclinic orbits to fixed points in dissipative diffeomorphisms of the annulus. We first recover a result due to Aronsonet al.[3]: that certain such ‘rotary’ orbits imply the existence of an interval of rotation numbers in the rotation set of the diffeomorphism. Our proof differs from theirs in that we use embeddings of the Smale [61] horseshoe construction, rather than shadowing and pseudo orbits. The symbolic dynamics associated with the non-wandering Cantor set of the horseshoe is then used to prove the existence of uncountably many invariant Cantor sets (Cantori) of each irrational rotation number in the interval, some of which are shown to be ‘dissipative’ analogues of the order preserving Aubry-Mather Cantor sets found by variational methods in area preserving twist maps. We then apply our results to the Josephson junction equation, checking the necessary hypotheses via Melnikov's method, and give a partial characterization of the attracting set of the Poincaré map for this equation. This provides a concrete example of a ‘Birkhoff attractor’ [10].

AbstractWe study the Peierls barrier$P_{\omega }(\xi )$for a broad class of monotone variational problems. These problems arise naturally in solid state physics and from Hamiltonian twist maps. We start by deriving an estimate for the difference$\vert P_{\omega }(\xi ) - P_{q/p}(\xi ) \vert $of the Peierls barriers of rotation numbers$\omega \in {{\mathbb{R}}}$and$q/p\in {\mathbb{Q}}$. A similar estimate was obtained by Mather [Modulus of continuity for Peierls’s barrier.Proc. NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Periodic Solutions of Hamiltonian Systems and Related Topics (Il Ciocco, Italy, 13–18 October 1986) (NATO Adv. Sci. Inst. Ser. C Math. Phys. Sci., 209).Eds. P. H. Rabinowitz, A. Ambrosetti and I. Eckeland. D. Reidel, Dordrecht, 1987, pp. 177–202] in the context of twist maps, but our proof is different and applies more generally. It follows from the estimate that$\omega \mapsto P_{\omega }(\xi )$is continuous at irrational points. Moreover, we show that the Peierls barrier depends continuously on parameters and hence that the property that a monotone variational problem admits a lamination of minimizers of rotation number$\omega \in {{\mathbb{R}}}\delimiter "026E30F {\mathbb{Q}}$is open in the$C^1$-topology.

AbstractWe prove that an area-preserving twist map having an invariant curve, can be approximated by a twist map exhibiting a Birkhoff-Hénon attractor. This is done by showing that the invariant curve can be perturbed into a saddle-node cycle with criticalities and by using a recent result reported by Diaz, Rocha and Viana.

AbstractWe prove that smooth enough invariant curves of monotone twist maps of an annulus with fixed diophantine rotation number depend on the map in a differentiable way. Partial results hold for Aubry-Mather sets.Then we show that invariant curves of the same map with different rotation numbers ω and ω′ cannot approach each other at a distance less than cst. |ω−ω′|. By K.A.M. theory, this implies that, under suitable assumptions, the union of invariant curves has positive measure.Analogous results are due to Zehnder and Herman (for the first part), and to Lazutkin and Pöschel (for the second one), in the case of Hamiltonian systems and area preserving maps.

Irrational Rotation Number

We consider a perturbed twist map when the perturbation is big enough to destroy the invariant rotational curve (IRC) with a given irrational rotation number. Then an invariant Cantorian set appears. From another point of view, the destruction of the IRC is associated with the appearance of heteroclinic connections between hyperbolic periodic points. Furthermore the destruction of the IRC is also associated with the existence of non-Birkhoff orbits. In this paper we relate the different approaches. In order to explain the creation of non-Birkhoff orbits, we provide qualitative and quantitative models. We show the existence of elliptic non-Birkhoff periodic orbits for an open set of values of the perturbative parameter. The bifurcations giving rise to the elliptic non-Birkhoff orbits and other related bifurcations are analysed. In the last section, we show a celestial mechanics example displaying the described behavior.

Area Preserving

In this paper we reconsider, in a purely topological framework, the concept of bend-twist map previously studied in the analytic setting by Tongren Ding in (2007). We obtain some results about the existence and multiplicity of fixed points which are related to the classical Poincaré-Birkhoff twist theorem for area-preserving maps of the annulus; however, in our approach, like in Ding (2007), we do not require measure-preserving conditions. This makes our theorems in principle applicable to nonconservative planar systems. Some of our results are also stable for small perturbations. Possible applications of the fixed point theorems for topological bend-twist maps are outlined in the last section.
