Abstract
We study the dynamics of a family of 4 D symplectic mappings near a doubly resonant elliptic fixed point. We derive and discuss algebraic properties of the resonances required for the analysis of a Takens type normal form. In particular, we propose a classification of the double resonances adapted to this problem, including cases of both strong and weak resonances. Around a weak double resonance (a junction of two resonances of two different orders, both being larger than 4) the dynamics can be described in terms of a simple (in general non-integrable) Hamiltonian model. The non-integrability of the normal form is a consequence of the splitting of the invariant manifolds associated with a normally hyperbolic invariant cylinder. We use a 4 D generalisation of the standard map in order to illustrate the difference between a truncated normal form and a full 4 D symplectic map. We evaluate numerically the volume of a 4 D parallelotope defined by 4 vectors tangent to the stable and unstable manifolds respectively. In good agreement with the general theory this volume is exponentially small with respect to a small parameter and we derive an empirical asymptotic formula which suggests amazing similarity to its 2 D analog. Different numerical studies point out that double resonances play a key role to understand Arnold diffusion. This paper has to be seen, also, as a first step in this direction. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
