- 30 January 2013 h. 11.30. Emanuele Haus:  Dynamics on resonant clusters for the quintic non linear Schroedinger equation

Abstract: We use normal form techniques in order to construct solutions to the quintic nonlinear Schroedinger equation on the circle with initial conditions supported on arbitrarily many different resonant clusters. These solutions exhibit a beating effect between modes belonging to the same cluster. As a corollary we obtain the existence of solutions that remain quasi-periodic for long times and for a large set of frequencies, which is a genuinely nonlinear effect. This is a sequel of the work by Benoit Grebert and Laurent Thomann.

-21 March 2013 h. 14.30. Massimiliano Berti: Hamiltonian PDEs

Abstract: We present new existence results about existence of quasi-periodic solutions of autonomous Hamiltonian PDEs.
The approach is based on a combination of Nash-Moser and KAM techniques. We shall emphasize the construction of an approximate inverse for the linearized operator.

-4 November 2013 h. 16.00 organized by the University of "RomaTre". Claudio Procesi: Quasi-periodic orbits: the non linear Schroedinger equation

Abstract: The notion of quasi-periodic orbit is among the fundamental ideas in the theory of dynamical systems and it corresponds to physical phenomena which happens for perturbation of completely integrable systems (like the solar system). This theory has been extended also non non linear PDEs which can be thought of as perturbation of linear equations describing some kind of waves. The case of non linear Schroedinger equation, when the space dimension is >1, presents many problems also from the algebraic, geometric and combinatoric point of view (the rectangles graph) which will be discussed in this talk.

-12 December 2013 h. 11.00. Massimiliano Berti: KAM for quasi-linear KdV

Abstract: We prove the existence and the stability of Cantor families of quasi-periodic, small amplitude solutions for quasi-linear autonomous Hamiltonian and reversible perturbations of KdV and mKdV. The results are based on a Nash-Moser and KAM techniques for the reducibility of the linearized operators along the iteration.

- 25 February 2014 h. 14.30. Marcel Guardia (University Paris 7): Nearly integrable systems with orbits accumulating to KAM tori

Abstract: The quasi-ergodic hypothesis, proposed by Ehrenfest and Birkhoff, says that a typical Hamiltonian system of n degrees of freedom on a typical energy surface has a dense orbit. This question is wide open. In this talk I will explain a recent result by V. Kaloshin and myself which can be seen as a weak form of the quasi-ergodic hypothesis. We prove that a dense set of perturbations of integrable Hamiltonian systems of two and a half degrees of freedom possess orbits which accumulate in sets of positive measure. In particular, they accumulate in prescribed sets of KAM tori.

- 5 June 2014 h. 14.30. Zaher Hani (Courant Institute): Energy cascades and wave turbulence for the cubic Schroedinger equation

Abstract: Out-of-equilibrium dynamics are a characteristic feature of the long-time behavior of nonlinear dispersive equations (PDEs) on confined domains. Energy cascades and wave turbulence are main aspects of such out-of-equilibrium dynamics. In this talk, we will start by explaining what all those concepts mean, why they arise, and the mathematical problems involved in studying them. Afterwards, we will describe two main approaches that were adopted to capture out-of-equilibrium phenomena. The first approach is based on a relation between energy cascades and the growth of Sobolev norms of solutions. The second approach is based on deriving "effective equations" for the dynamics by taking various limits of the original system (this is the guiding philosophy of wave turbulence theory). We describe some recent progress on both approaches in joint works with E. Faou, P. Germain, B. Pausader, L. Thomann, N. Tzvetkov, and N. Visciglia.

-30 December 2014 h. 12.00, Aula G
Livia Corsi (McMaster University) On the persistence of resonant tori
Abstract: t is well known that resonant tori persist for quasi-integrable Hamiltonian  systems under appropriate non-degeneracy conditions on the perturbation.  However a long-standing conjecture states that such tori persist for any perturbation provided that it is sufficiently regular. This conjecture was proved  in the case of co-dimension one. We will discuss recent partial results on  the subject and discuss a possible strategy.


-14 May 2015 h. 15:30, aula G
Luca Biasco (Unversità di Roma Tre)
On the measure of invariant tori in hamiltonian systems
We discuss the measure of (Lagrangian) invariant tori in nearly-integrable hamiltonian systems. It is well known in KAM theory that the measure of the complementary of invariant tori (where chaotic motions possibly occur) is smaller than the sqare root of ε, ε being the perturbative parameter. A conjecture by Arnold, Kozlov and Neishtadt claims that such measure is actually of order ε. We prove that such conjecture holds true for 'general' mechanical systems (namely systems of the form: kinetic energy plus potential energy). Joint work with L. Chierchia.


- 26 May 2015 h. 15 A. Maspero (University of Milan) Freezing of energy of a soliton in an external potential.
Abstract: we study the dynamics of a soliton in the generalized NLS with a small external potential \eV of Schwartz class. We prove that there exists an effective mechanical
system describing the dynamics of the soliton and that, for any positive integer r, the energy of such a mechanical system is almost conserved up to times of order \e^r. In the rotational
invariant case we deduce that the true orbit of the soliton remains close to the mechanical one up to times of order \e^r.

- 2- December 2015 (In Tor Vergata) Vadim Kaloshin (University of Maryland) Stochastic Arnold diffusion in deterministic systems and celestial mechanics
In 1964, V. Arnold constructed an example of a nearly integrable deterministic system exhibiting instabilities. In the 1970s, physicist B. Chirikov coined the term for this phenomenon 'Arnold diffusion', where diffusion refers to stochastic nature of instability. One of the most famous examples of stochastic instabilities for nearly integrable systems is dynamics of Asteroids in Kirkwood gaps in the Asteroid belt. They were discovered numerically by astronomer J. Wisdom. During the talk we describe a class of nearly integrable deterministic systems, where we prove stochastic diffusive behaviour. Namely, we show that distributions given by deterministic evolution of certain random initial conditions weakly converge to a diffusion process. This result is conceptually different from known mathematical results, where existence of 'diffusing orbits' is shown. This work is based on joint papers with O. Castejon, M. Guardia, J. Zhang, and K. Zhang.

-19 February 2016 Livia Corsi (Mc Master) An Abstract KAM theorem
Abstract: I'll discuss an abstract KAM result on the existence of invariant tori for possibly infinite dimensional dynamical systems.
Differently from the classical Moser's approach, I'll show that in principle there is no need to impose the second Mel'nikov conditions but only to invert (in some appropriate norm) the linearized operator in the normal directions: in particular this means that the serious technical difficulties in small divisors problems are those appearing in forced cases.The latter statement is commonly believed to be true: the main purpose is indeed to prove it under the weakest possible assumptions.
The result is obtained in collaboration with R. Feola and M. Procesi.


-26 April 2016 Michela Procesi (Universita di Roma Tre) Quasi-periodic solutions with beating effects for the NLS on tori
I will discuss the existence and linear stability of classes of solutions for the NLS on a torus. I will concentrate on quasi-periodic solutions which arise from the resonances of the NLS normal form and exhibit a periodic transfer of the Sobolev norm between Fourier modes. This is a joint work in progress with E. Haus.

- 5 May 2016 Emanuele Haus (Napoli Federico II) Growth of Sobolev norms and beating effects for the NLS on tori
We prove existence of solutions to some NLS on tori exhibiting different qualitative behavior. On  the one hand we construct solutions which undergo an arbitrarily large growth of the Sobolev norms for analytic NLS equations on T^2, on the other hand we construct quasi-periodic solutions with recurrent transfer of energy between the Fourier modes for the quintic NLS on the circle.

- 18 October 2016 Filippo Giuliani (SISSA) Quasi-periodic solutions for quasilinear generalized KdV equations We prove the existence of Cantor families of small amplitude, linearly stable, quasi-periodic solutions of quasi-linear autonomous Hamiltonian generalized KdV equations. We consider the most general quasi-linear quadratic nonlinearity. The proof is based on an iterative Nash-Moser algorithm. To initialize this scheme, we need to perform a bifurcation analysis taking into account the strongly perturbative effects of the nonlinearity near the origin. In particular, we implement a weak version of the Birkhoff normal form method. The inversion of the linearized operators at each step of the iteration  is achieved by pseudo-differential techniques, linear Birkhoff normal form algorithms and a linear KAM reducibility scheme.

-14 September 2016  Livia Corsi (Georgia Tech) Locally integrable non-Liouville analytic geodesic flows on T^2 A metric on T^2 is said to be ``Liouville" if in some coordinate system it has the form ds^2 = (g_1(q_1) + g_2(q_2)) (dq_1^2 + dq_2^2); a ``folklore conjecture" states that if a metric is locally integrable then it is Liouville. I will present a counterexample to this conjecture.

Precisely I will show that there exists an analytic, non-separable, mechanical Hamiltonian H = H(p,q) which is integrable on an open subset U of the energy surface {H = 1/2}.
This is a joint work with V. Kaloshin

 -29 September 2016 Massimiliano Berti (SISSA) Almost global existence of periodic capillarity-gravity waves We present  long time  existence results for the solutions of gravity-capillary water waves equations with small initial periodic data. The proof is based on a paradifferential reduction of the equations and a Birkhoff normal form analysis. Joint work with J.M Delort.

- 20 December 2016 Livia Corsi (Georgia Tech) Periodic driving at high frequencies of an Impurity in the Isotropic XY chain  I'll consider the isotropic XY chain with a transverse magnetic field acting on a single site and analyse the long time behaviour of the time-dependent state of the system when a periodic perturbation drives the impurity. I'll show that for high frequencies the state approaches a periodic orbit synchronised with the forcing and provide the explicit rate of convergence to the asymptotics. This is a joint work with G. Genovese (organized by the math. Phys group)


- 5 April 2017 Nikolaos Karaliolios (Imperial College) KAM normal form for quasi-periodic cocycles in TxSU(2) and spectral dichotomy.We will recall the application of the KAM machinery as it  was applied by H. Eliasson and R. Krikorian (among others) to the  problem of the (almost) reducibility of such systems. We will  subsequently present an (almost) complete classification of the KAM  regime, based on the KAM normal form, and, if time permits, sketch  the proof of spectral dichotomy: a cocycle in the KAM regime has  either pure point spectrum or a maximal component of singular  continuous spectrum in the fibers.

Quasiconvexity of the Hamiltonian for non Harmonic or non Keplerian central potentials


 In this talk we study the Hamiltonian of the planar central motion with a real analytic potential. We prove that the corresponding Hamiltonian, when written in action angle variables, is almost everywhere quasiconvex, the only exceptions being the Keplerian and the Harmonic potentials. We underline  that this two potentials are the ones discussed by Bertrand’s theorem.
We also study the spatial central motion problem and deduce a Nekhoroshevtype stability result for the perturbed system.
This is a joint work with D. Bambusi and M. Sansottera.

- 28-09-2017 J.P Marco Integrability and complexity of geodesic flows on ellipsoids : from the finite dimensional case to the infinite dimensional one


Starting from the geodesic flow on finite dimensional Euclidean ellipsoids, for which we will recall the classical constructions of complete sets of first integrals and describe their singularities and dynamical complexity, we will examine the possibility of extensions to the infinite dimensional case. This could possibly make a bridge between integrability in the finite dimensional Hamiltonian case and that of Hamiltonian PDE's.


-22-11-2017 - 16:00
Shidi Zhou (Roma tre) An infinite dimensional KAM theorem with application to 2-d completely resonant beam equation

In this talk we shall consider the 2-dimensional completely resonant beam equation with cubic nonlinearity on Tˆ2. We prove the existence of the quasi-periodic solutions, which lie in a special subspace of Lˆ2 (Tˆ2). We view the equation as an infinite dimensional Hamiltonian system, and write the Hamiltonian of the equation as an angle-dependent block-diagonal normal form plus a small perturbation with some regularity. By establishing an abstract KAM theorem, we prove the existence of a class of invariant tori of this system, which implies the existence of a class of small-amplitude quasi-periodic solutions of the equation. In the KAM iteration, the measure estimate is reached by making use of the regularity of the nonlinearity.

Dynamics of the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation in the nonrelativistic limit

We study the the nonlinear Klein-Gordon (NLKG) equation on a manifold M in the nonrelativistic limit (as the speed of light coinfty). We consider a higher-order normalized approximation of NLKG (corresponding to the NLS at order r=1), and prove that when M is a smooth compact manifold or Rd, the solution of the approximating equation approximates the solution of the NLKG locally uniformly in time. When M=Rd, dgeq2, we prove that for rgeq2 small radiation solutions of the order r normalized equation approximate solutions of the nonlinear NLKG up to times of order cO(c2(r−1)).


-14 dec 2017 Filippo Giuliani Quasi-periodic solutions for Hamiltonian perturbations of the Degasperis-Procesi equation

I
present a new result on the existence and the stability of small amplitude quasi-periodic solutions for Hamiltonian perturbations of the Degasperis-Procesi equation under periodic boundary conditions.
These solutions are constructed by a hard Implicit Function Nash-Moser Theorem, based on a Newton-type algorithm. The main issue in implementing this iterative scheme  is the inversion of the linearized operator in a neighborhood of the origin. The analysis of the linearized operator requires to solve quasi-periodic transport equations and to exploit some pseudo differential calculus techniques.
To initialize the Nash-Moser scheme we need to perform a bifurcation analysis by means of a Birkhoff normal form procedure.
The Degasperis-Procesi equation presents some non trivial Birkhoff resonances and we show how to overcome this problem by exploiting the integrability of the unperturbed system.
This is a joint work with Roberto Feola and Michela Procesi.


-03-07-2018 Roberto Feola (SISSA) Birkhoff Normal Form and long time existence for periodic gravity water waves

We consider the gravity water waves system with a periodic one-dimensional interface in infinite depth and give a rigorous proof the conjecture of Zakharov and Dyachenko. More precisely, we provide a reduction of the equations to Birkhoff normal form and prove the integrability of the water waves Hamiltonian up to order four. As a consequence, we also obtain a long-time stability result for periodic solutions: perturbations of a flat interface that are of size e  in a standard Sobolev  space lead to solutions that remain regular and small up to times of the order e−3.
To our knowledge, this is the first such long-time existence result for quasilinear systems in the periodic setting.Indeed, despite the absence of external parameters, our result goes past the natural e−2 scale which one expects for non-quadratically resonant Hamiltonian systems, such as gravity water waves.The main difficulties in the proof are the quasilinear nature of the equations, the presence of small divisors arising from near (trivial) resonances,and of many non-trivial resonant four-way interactions, the so-called Benjamin-Feir resonances.

- 14 May 2014 h. 15. Thierry Paul (Ecole Polytechnique): Quantum singular complete integrability

Abstract: We consider some perturbations of a family of pairwise commuting linear quantum Hamiltonians on the torus with possibly dense pure point spectra. We prove that the Rayleigh-Schr�dinger perturbation series converge near each unperturbed eigenvalue under the form of a convergent quantum Birkhoff normal form. Moreover the family is jointly diagonalised by a common unitary operator explicitly constructed by a Newton type algorithm. This leads to the fact that the spectra of the family remain pure point. The results are uniform in the Planck constant near zero. The unperturbed frequencies satisfy a small divisors condition (including the Diophantine case) and we explicitly estimate how this condition can bereleased when the family tends to the unperturbed one.

Organized by the University of "Roma Tre": Mini-Course by V. Kaloshin: Arnol'd Diffusion via Invariant Cylinders and Mather Variational Methods. 16-17 April 2014.

Abstract: The famous ergodic hypothesis claims that a typical Hamiltonian dynamics on a typical energy surface is ergodic. However, KAM theory disproves this. It establishes a persistent set of positive measure of invariant KAM tori. The (weaker) quasi-ergodic hypothesis, proposed by Ehrenfest and Birkhoff, says that a typical Hamiltonian dynamics on a typical energy surface has a dense orbit. This question is wide open. In early 60th Arnold constructed an example of instabilities for a nearly integrable Hamiltonian of dimension n > 2 and conjectured that this is a generic phenomenon, nowadays, called Arnold diffusion. In the last two decades a variety of powerful techniques to attack this problem were developed. In particular, Mather discovered a large class of invariant sets and a delicate variational technique to shadow them. In a series of preprints: one joint with P. Bernard, K. Zhang and one with K. Zhang and one with M. Guardia we prove strong form of Arnold's conjecture in dimension n=3.
