IMJ-PRG summer school 2024

In the second half of the 20th century, Kolmogorov made the striking discovery that quasi-periodic motion is robust and prevalent from a probabilistic (or measure theoretical) sense, in a number of physical situations, including the quasi-integrable Hamiltonian systems. Indeed, KAM Theory (after Kolmogorov-Arnol’d-Moser) established the persistence of most of the invariant quasi- periodic tori of quasi-integrable Hamiltonian systems.

The proof is based on an inductive scheme of successive conjugations of the perturbed system to the integrable one on that part of the phase space where Diophantine frequencies occur. Through this scheme, the a priori possibly damaging effect of small divisors on the conjugacy at each step of the induction, is tamed out by the quadratic speed of convergence of the scheme.

Since this fundamental discovery the quadratic conjugation scheme of KAM theory was applied in numerous settings to prove stability and rigidity results in dynamics.

 

 

The main objective of the school is to give a panorama of some of the most important results and applications of the classical KAM theory as well as some of the new directions of research in various areas of dynamics that pushed the theory way beyond its classical limits.




Topics and speakers

This summer school will consist of 6 mini-courses of 5 hours each, accessible to PhD students and young researchers, as well as presentations of recent results in the domain.
