Abstract

Xerrada pel Seminari de Sistemes Dinamics UB-UPC. Barcelona, dimecres 19 de gener de 2000. Els trojans son una familia d'asteroids amb orbites situades no molt lluny del punt $L_5$ del sistema Sol-Jupiter. Si integrem numericament les trajectories d'aquests asteroids, moltes d'elles son estables per llargs periodes de temps: semblen viure sobre tors invariants. Malgrat aquesta evidencia, els intents de demostrar ``rigurosament'' la estabilitat efectiva d'aquests asteroids en models simples com ara el RTBP (implementant numericament tecniques KAM amb l'ajut d'un ordinador) no han reeixit. En aquesta xerrada, parlarem de les dificultats amb les que s'han trobat aquests intents, que podem fer extensives a problemes molt mes generals, i presentarem algunes idees per intentar superar-les.

If Trojans are not close enough to L 5 , we have to rep eat normal form computations around an invariant object close enough to (a given) one of them.  As Trojans seems to be close to invariant tori, it is natural to use as a \reference" an invariant torus close to the \apparent" torus describ ed by the Trojan. 15 { Description of this dierent approach 1. We take an initial condition of a Trojan, and we write it in the co ordinates of the RTBP Sun-Jupiter. 2. We perform a numerical integration of this trajectory, and we apply a metho d of analysis of frequencies in order to obtain the approximated frequencies of the quasi-torus describ ed by the trajectory,as well a trigonometric p olynomial that describ es this torus. 3. We replace the set of computed frequencies by another one, close as p ossible, but for which a standard Diophantine condition is fullled. 4. We prove that there exists an invariant torus of the system, close to the predicted one (with the mo died frequencies). 16 5. We p erform \normal form computations" around this torus, to obtain a domain of long time stability, which is exp ected to contain the initial condition of the chosen Trojan. The classical set-up for KAM metho ds for maximal dimensional tori of Hamiltonian systems  Quasi-integrable Hamiltonian system with ` degrees of freedom, given in actionangle co ordinates: H (  I ) = h ( I ) + "f (  I )  with (  I ) 2 T `  R ` , 2  -p erio dic in  ,and " 2 R a small parameter.  If " = 0 (integrable case): any Torus T ` f I 0 g is invariant, carrying linear quasip erio dic ow, with vector of basic frequencies given by ! = @ I h ( I 0 ).  We said that ! 2 R ` is Diophantine, if there is c > 0 and   ` ; 1, such that: jh k ! ij  c j k j  1  for any k 2 Z ` n f 0 g  with j k j 1 = j k 1 j + j k ` j . 17 { Kolmogorov Theorem  Given a Diophantine ! 2 R ` we can ask for the p ersistence of the corresp onding invariant torus of the case " = 0 for values of " 6 = 0 small enough: Kolmogorov Theorem .  Standard metho dology: it lo oks for a sequence of canonical transformations such that applied on H leads to an equivalent Hamiltonian forwhich the existence of the torus is explicit. We will refer to such constructions as \ transformation theory ". 18 Theorem 1 We consider a quasi-integrable Hamiltonian system with ` degrees of freedom, given in action-angle co ordinates: H (  I ) = h ( I ) + "f (  I ) : We assume:  Analyticity: For any " 2 R small enough, H is real analytic for (  I ) 2 T `  U , with U  R ` .  Non-resonance: For a given I 0 2 U , ! = @ I h ( I 0 ) is Diophantine.  Non-degeneracy: det @ 2 II h ( I 0 ) 6 = 0 .

The invariant torus of H is ( !t +  I 0 ) . 19 { Some basic ideas ab out the pro of: a generic step of the iterative metho d  We assume I 0 =0, and we consider a Hamiltonian of the form H = a + A (  ) + h ! + B (  ) I i + 1 2 h I C (  ) I i + H (  I )  1. A and B have size of O 1 ( M ), with M \small", and H = O 3 ( I ). 2.

D j  with Y j = 0. 23 Remark 2 Working with action-angle variables, if we consider the iterative expression of the Hamiltonian in the pro of of the Kolmogorov theorem: H = a + A (  ) + h ! + B (  ) I i + 1 2 h I C (  ) I i + H (  I )  and recalling that the approximate torus is (  0) , then JD 2 H (  0) =  0 C (  ) 0 0 ! + O 1 ( M ) : Due to this triangular structure, in this context R can be reduced to constant co e- cients.  How we can recoverer this structure in the non-action-angle context ? 30 { Denition (an imp ortant one): T (  ) is a Lagrangian torus if T  $ =0, i.e. if S  T >  J T  = 0.  Lo ok at the Kolmogorov theorem: ( T `  f I 0 g )is a Lagrangian torus.  What can we said in our context ? Lemma 1 With the non-action angle setting, we have S = 0 (as $ = d )and S jl = ; ( @  j c l ; @  l c j )  where c l = L ; 1 ! ( $ ( @  l T R )) : Remark 3 If R  0 ,then S  0 , else, we have that S  O 1 ( R ) . 31 Lemma 2 With the non-action angle setting, we have: R ( T  ) = R   R ( J T  " ; 1 + T  C ) = T  E + E (  )  where " = T >  T  A = " ; 1 T >  R ( J T  " ; 1 )  E = A C = ; L ; 1 ! ( A ; A )  E  O 1 ( R ) : Remark 4 If R  0 , then R is reducible if we express it in the symplectic basis given by the columns of fT  J T  " ; 1 + T  C g ,else, in the quasi-invariant case, R is quasi-reducible expressed in the same basis, which is quasisymplectic. 32 { \Solving" the equation of the Newton metho d We lo ok for ! T = T  a + ( J T  " ; 1 + T  C ) b , which leads to the following equations (skipping O 2 ( R ) terms): ( eq 1 ) L ! b = T >  JR , ( eq 2 ) L ! a = ; " ; 1 T >  R ; C T >  JR ; Eb . 1. T >  JR = 0. So, ( eq 1 )can be solved with an indeterminate value for b . 2. If det E 6 = 0 (non-degeneracy condition), we can dene b from ( eq 2 ) in such a way the average of the right-hand side vanishes. So, we can compute a ( a plays no role). One can check that R (! T ) + R = O 2 ( R ). 33 Theorem 2 Let T (  ) : T ` 7! R 2 ` ( 2  -p erio dic in  )be a ! -quasi-torus of a Hamiltonian H (  ) with ` degrees of freedom, that is L ! T (  ) = J r H ( T (  )) + R (  ) : We assume:  Analyticity: H is real analytic for  2 U ,with U  R ` ,and T is real analytic in T ` ,with T ( T ` )  U .  Non-resonance: ! 2 R ` is Diophantine.  Non-degeneracy: 1. T is a non-degenerate manifold: if " = T >  T  , then det " 6 = 0 in T ` . 2. T is non-degenerate as a quasi-torus of H : if A = " ; 1 T >  R ( J T  " ; 1 ) and E = A , then det E 6 = 0 . Then, if k R k is small enough, there exists ^ T a true ! -invariant torus of H ,that it is k R k - close to T . 34 { Eective stability: the standard actionangle setting  We consider H (  I ) a real analytic Hamiltonian system with ` degrees of freedom taking the form: H (  I ) = h ! I i + H 2 (  I )  with H 2 (  I )  O 2 ( I ). So H has an ! - invariant torus at I = 0. We assume ! Diophantine.  Finite Normal form pro cess: we lo ok for a canonical transformation  N such that: H   N (  I ) = h ! I i + N ( I ) + H N (  I )  with H N  O N ( I ). So, if j I j is small, k H N k is also small.  As _ I = ; @ I H N , if H N  0then I are rst integrals of the transformed system ( I ( t ) = const.), else I ( t ) moves slow. 35 { Eective stability: the non-action-angle setting: Lindstedt series  We consider T (  ), real analytic 2  -p erio dic in  , an ! -invariant torus of areal analytic Hamiltonian H (  ) with ` degrees of freedom. We assume ! Diophantine.  Lindstedt series: We lo ok for a formal expansion    (  I ) = X j 2 N `  ( j ) (  ) I j  with  (0) (  ) = T (  )and  ( j ) 2  -p erio dic in  , such that the dynamics of H expressed in variables (  I ) takes the form: _ I = 0  _  = h ( I ) = P l 2 N ` h ( l ) I l  with h (0) = ! and h ( l ) 2 R ` . 36 Remark 5 I are formal rst integrals of H around T . Remark 6 We do no ask I  I (  ) to be in involution, and hence (  I ) 7!  =  (  I ) is not a formal canonical change. We only need D I  (  0) to be non-degenerate. 37 { Computation of  ( j ) (  ) and h ( j ) X j ( L h ( I )  ( j ) ) I j = J r H ( X j  ( j ) I j ) : We equate powers of I m :  For m = 0: L !  (0) = J r H (  (0) )  true.  For any m 2 N ` , j m j 1  1: L h ( m )  (0) + R (  ( m ) ) = Z ( m )  where Z ( m ) (  ) = # J r H (#  ] < j m j 1 )] m ; X j 2 N ` nf 0 m g m ; j  0 L h ( j )  ( m ; j ) : 38  We use the notations: #  ] <N (  I ) = X j j j 1 <N  ( j ) (  ) I j  and #  ] m the co ecient of I m of the expression inside.  We lo ok for  ( m ) = T  V ( m ) + ( J T  " ; 1 + T  C ) W ( m )  obtaining: ( eq 1 ) L !

Remark 7 We recall that if T is an ! -invariant torus, then T is Lagrangian and R is reducible. 39
