Abstract:
This paper continues the discussion started in [10] concerning Arnold's legacy on classical KAM theory and (some of) its modern developments. We prove a
detailed and explicit “global” Arnold's KAM theorem, which yields, in particular, the Whitney conjugacy of a non-degenerate,
real-analytic, nearly-integrable Hamiltonian system to an integrable system on a closed, nowhere dense, positive measure subset of the phase space. Detailed measure estimates on the Kolmogorov set are provided in case the phase space is: (A)
a uniform neighbourhood of an arbitrary (bounded) set times the $d$-torus and
(B) a domain with $C^2$ boundary times the $d$-torus. All constants are explicitly given.
Keywords:nearly-integrable Hamiltonian systems, perturbation theory, KAM theory, Arnold’s
scheme, Kolmogorov set, primary invariant tori, Lagrangian tori, measure estimates, small
divisors, integrability on nowhere dense sets, Diophantine frequencies.
