1. Introduction
In this paper we are interested in the long time behavior of small amplitude solutions of non-linear Hamiltonian partial differential equations on bounded domains. In this context, the competition between non-linear effects and energy conservation (typically the Sobolev norm) makes the problem intricate. One of the main issues is the control of higher order Sobolev norms of solutions for which typically a priori upper bounds are polynomials (see [Bou96a, Sta97, Bou03, Soh11, CKO12])
Bourgain exhibited in [Bou96a] examples of growth of high order Sobolev norms for some solutions of a nonlinear wave equation in 1d with periodic boundary conditions. These examples were constructed by using as much as possible the totally resonant character of the equation (all the linear frequencies are integers and thus proportional).
On the contrary, Bambusi & Grébert have shown in [BG06] (see also [Bam03, Bou03]) that, in a fairly general semi linear PDE framework, if an appropriate non-resonance condition is imposed on the linear part then the solution of the corresponding PDE satisfy a strong stability property:
[TABLE]
where denotes the Sobolev norm of order , can be chosen arbitrarily large and is supposed to be small enough, . The method of proof is based on the construction of Birkhoff normal forms. To verify the appropriate non-resonance condition external parameters were used –such as a mass in the case of nonlinear wave equation– and the stability result were obtained for almost every value of these parameters. Then this technic was applied to prove almost global existence results for a lot of semi linear Hamiltonian PDEs (see [BDGS07, Bam07, Gre07, GIP09, FG10]). However, the case of a non-linear perturbation of a fully resonant linear PDE was not achievable by this technique. Actually for the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation on the two dimensional torus it is proved in [CKSTT10] that the high Sobolev norms may growth arbitrarily for some special initial data. Even in one dimension of space, it is proved in [GT12] that the quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation on the circle does not satisfy (1) (but without arbitrary growth of the high Sobolev norms, see also [HP17] for a generalization or [CF12] for a two-dimensional example).
Now consider the nonlinear Schrödinger equation:
[TABLE]
where is an analytic function on a neighborhood of the origin satisfying is the mass possibly 0 and . Equation (NLS) is a Hamiltonian system associated with the Hamiltonian function
[TABLE]
where , and the complex symplectic structure .
This is an example of fully resonant Hamiltonian PDE, as the linear frequencies are for . Nevertheless in [KP96] Kuksin & Pöschel proved for such equation the persistence of finite dimensional KAM tori, a result that requires a strong non resonant property on the unperturbed Hamiltonian. Actually they considered the cubic term as part of the unperturbed Hamiltonian to modulate the resonant linear frequencies and to avoid the problem of resonances. Roughly speaking the nonlinear term generates stability. Then Bourgain in [Bou00] used the same idea to prove that for many random small initial data the solution of (NLS) satisfies (1). Although the method of proof is based on normal forms, the effective construction of the normal form depends on the initial datum in a very intricated way and actually the author does not obtain a Birkhoff normal form result for (NLS) but rather a way to break down the solution that allows him to obtain the property (1).
In this work we want to construct a new type of normal form, not based on polynomial functions but on rational functions (see Section 6), transforming the Hamiltonian of (NLS) into an integrable one up to a small remainder, over large open sets surrounding the origin. Then stability of higher order Sobolev norms during very long time is just one of the dynamical consequences. We stress out that since our rational normal form is built on open sets, the dynamical consequences remain stable with respect to the initial datum. In particular the property (1), although not verified on all a neighborhood of the origin, is locally uniform with respect to in .
To describe our result let us introduce some notations. With a given function , we associate the Fourier coefficients defined by
[TABLE]
In the remainder of the paper we identify the function with its sequence of Fourier coefficients , and as in [FG10, F12] we consider the spaces
[TABLE]
where . Note that these spaces are linked with the classical Sobolev spaces by the relation for .
Our method also applies to equations with Hartree nonlinearity of the form (Schrödinger-Poisson equation)
[TABLE]
for which we have where is the Green function of the operator with zero average on the torus. The Hamiltonian associated with this equation is
[TABLE]
Different kind of convolution operators could also be considered, as well as higher order perturbations of (NLSP) (note however that unlike the (NLS) case the cubic (NLSP) equation is not integrable in dimension 1). As we will see, the probabilistic results obtained for (NLS) and (NLSP) differ significantly.
Our results are divided into two parts :
Abstract rational normal forms (see Theorem 2.1). We construct a canonical transformation defined on an open set included in the ball of radius centered at [math] that puts the Hamiltonian of (NLS) (resp. (NLSP)) in normal form up to order : where depends only on the actions with , and . The proof for this result is outlined in Section 2.2 and demonstrated in Section 7.
Of course the open set is defined in a rather complex way through non-resonant relationships between actions and (see section 4). In particular it does not contain which is too resonant. Its construction relies on a ultra-violet cut-off as in classical KAM theory (particularly in [Arn63]), here in an infinite dimensional setting. Moreover, these sets are invariant by angular rotation in the sense that
[TABLE]
It is then necessary to show that the flow travels within these open sets. This is achieved in a second step.
Generic almost preservation of the actions over very long time (see Theorems 2.3 and 2.4). For a given , we set
[TABLE]
where are random variables with support included in the interval , so that belong to the space and is a normalizing constant to ensure almost surely. We prove that under some assumptions on the law of , then for essentially almost all couple and small enough, the initial values of the form (6) are in the domain of definition of the normal forms, and thus have a dynamics that is essentially an integrable one over very long time. This implies the almost preservation of the actions over times of order with arbitrary which in turn implies that the solution remains inside the open set . In particular we deduce the almost preservation of the Sobolev norm of the solution over times of order , i.e. property (1). This second step is detailed in section 8.
We show a difference between (NLS) and (NLSP) for which we obtain a stronger result. Indeed, whereas possible resonances between and the actions can appear in (NLS), this is not the case for (NLSP) which thus can be seen as a more robust equation than (NLS).
As previously mentioned, the possibility of obtaining normal forms without the help of external parameters was already known in the KAM theory (see [KP96] and also [EGK16]). However these normal forms were constructed around finite dimensional tori. The originality of our analysis is that we work with truly infinite dimensional objects.
The question of building full dimensional invariant tori by using our rational normal forms is under study.
It would also be nice to apply this new normal form technique to other PDEs, especially in higher dimension. Nevertheless, there is an important limitation: we use in an unavoidable way the fact that the dominant term of the non-linearity (the cubic term for (NLS) and (NLSP)) are completely integrable (they depend only on actions). This is no longer true for the quintic NLS equation (see [GT12]) or for (NLS) and (NLSP)) equations in higher dimension. It should be noted that in the case of the beam equation studied in [EGK16], the cubic term is also not integrable and this does not prevent a KAM-type result from being obtained. But in this case, a finite number of symplectic transformations make it possible to get rid of the angles corresponding to the modes of the finite dimensional torus that is perturbed. In our case, we would need an infinite number of such transformations, which is not accessible because these transformations are not close to identity.
Finally let us mention two recent results that open new directions in the world of Birkhoff normal forms. In [BD] Berti-Delors have considered recently Birkhoff normal forms for a quasi linear PDE, namely the capillarity-gravity water waves equation, and thus faced unbounded nonlinearity. In this paper capillarity plays the role of the external parameter. Also in [BMP] Biasco-Masseti-Procesi, considering a suitable Diophantine condition, prove exponential stability in Sobolev norm for parameter dependent NLS on the circle.

2. Statement of the results and sketch of the proof
2.1. Main results
First we introduce the Hamiltonians associated with (NLS) and (NLSP) written in Fourier variables:
[TABLE]
where the Fourier transform , , is associated with the Green function of the operator with zero average on .
Theorem 2.1** ((NLS) and (NLSP) cases).**
*Let equals or . For all , there exists such that for all the following holds:
There exists such that for all , there exist open sets and included in the ball of radius centered at the origin in , and an analytic canonical and bijective transformation satisfying*
[TABLE]
that puts in normal form up to order :
[TABLE]
where
- •
* is a smooth function of the actions and thus is an integrable Hamiltonian;*
- •
the remainder is of order on , precisely
[TABLE]
This theorem is proved in section 7.
In section 8, we prove that for all , there exists a set of initial data included in on which (1) holds true:
Theorem 2.2** ((NLS) and (NLSP) cases).**
Let and as in Theorem 2.1 and let denotes the Fourier coefficients of the solution of the Hamiltonian system associated with . Then for all there exists an open set invariant by angle rotation in the sense of (5), such that for all we have for all
[TABLE]
Furthermore there exists a full dimensional torus such that for all
[TABLE]
where denotes the distance on associated with the norm
The next step is to describe the non resonant sets which, as we said, are open, invariant by rotation (see (5)) and included in the ball of centered at 0 and of radius but does not contain the origin. The following Theorems, proved in section 4, show that in both cases these open sets contain many elements of the form (6) but is much larger in the (NLSP) case that in the (NLS) case.
The first result concerns the nonlinear Schrödinger case (NLS).
Theorem 2.3** ((NLS) case).**
Let be a probability space, and let us assume that are random variables satisfying
- •
* are independent,*
- •
for each , is uniformly distributed in ,
*and let be the familly of random variables defined by (6).
Let , and as in Theorem(2.1) for (NLS). Then*
- •
for all
[TABLE]
- •
for all and for all sequence of random variables uniformly distributed in and independent of , there is a probability larger than to realize such that there is a probability larger than to realize such that is non-resonant for all (i.e. ). More formally, we have
[TABLE]
where denote the probability conditionally to the distribution
The first part of the statement corresponds to fixing an and removing some resonant set of (depending on ) the second part shows that for a given distribution of , we can take a lot of arbitrarily small fulfilling the assumptions of the Theorem. Moreover, as the set is invariant by angle rotation, then for a given of the form (6), all the rotated functions of the form (5) belong to .
The authors would like to mention that (15) corresponds to many numerical experiments confirming the absence of drift over long times when for a generic initial distribution of : in other words this statement correspond to what is generically numerically observed, confirming a sort of generic behaviour for solutions of (NLS) for which no energy exchanges is observed between the frequencies over very long times.
The corresponding analysis for the Schrödinger-Poisson case leads to a better result:
Theorem 2.4** ((NLSP) case).**
Let be a probability space, and let us assume that are random variables satisfying
- •
* are independent,*
- •
for each , is uniformly distributed in ,
*and let be the familly of random variables defined by (6).
Let , and as in Theorem(2.1) for (NLSP). Then for all *
[TABLE]
This statement allows to take one distribution of the action fulfilling some generic non resonance condition, and then to take arbitrarily small in the initial value (6) independently on the . Thus the result for (NLSP) is much stronger from the point of view of phase space: stable initial distributions are much more likely for (NLSP) than for (NLS).
In the remainder of the paper, we will essentially focus on the (NLS) case. The proof of the (NLSP) case will be outlined in appendix A, where we stress the difference with (NLS), which are mostly major simplifications.
2.2. Sketch of proof
In this section we explain the strategy of the proof and we describe the new mathematical objects needed. The starting point is to write (formally) the Hamiltonian (2) as
[TABLE]
where denote the collection of , , and where
[TABLE]
is the Hamiltonian associated with the linear part of the equation. The Hamiltonians are polynomials of order in the variables , and is explicitely given by
[TABLE]
where in the case of (NLS) and , , , in the case of (NLSP). The first step is to perform a first resonant normal form transform with respect to . This step is classic and can be found for the first time in [KP96]. After some iterations, the new Hamiltonian can be written
[TABLE]
where is of order , are polynomial of order , and and are polynomials of degre 4 and 6 containing only actions of the form . Moreover, the polynomials are resonant in the sense that they contain only monomials of the form where the collection of indices satisfy the relation
[TABLE]
Indeed, these monomials correspond to the kernel of the operator when applied to polynomials, which is the engine of the construction of the normal form. Note that at this stage, no small divisor problem occur. Now natural idea consists in using the term to eliminate iteratively the terms of order that do not depend on the actions. The general strategy is the following:
(i) Truncate all polynomials and remove all the monomials containing at least three indices of size greater than . The remainder term, as already noticed, see for instance [Bou00, Gre07, BG06], is thus of order . Moreover, taking into account the resonance condition (18), the remaining truncated monomials have irreducible part - meaning they do not contain actions - with indices bounded by . Taking so that (so typically ) then ensures that this term will be small enough to control the dynamics over a time of order by using a bootstrap argument.
(ii) Construct iteratively normal form transformation to eliminate the remaining part of degree that do not depend only of the action by using the integrable Hamiltonian which is explicitly given. The engine underlying this construction is thus to solve iteratively homological equations of the form where is given and do not contains terms depending only on the actions. This step makes appear small denominators depending on , so that such a construction makes naturally appear rational functions (see Section 6) and not only polynomials. However, the division by small denominators depending on also yields poles in the normal form transforms. To avoid them, we use generic non resonance conditions on the distribution , and the resolution of the homological equation thus brings loss of derivatives. As the small denominators are generated by irreducible monomials whose modes are bounded by , in the estimates this step results in a loss of order for some versus a gain of at each step of the normal form construction.
(iii) Try to trade off a few powers of to control the normal form construction. This is done by a condition of the form . The heart of the analysis is thus to make independent of so that for large enough, such condition can be satisfied and will be compatible with . If this is the case, the Hamiltonian thus depends only on the actions and a small remainder term of order which allows to conclude. The remaining difficulty is to handle the algebra of rational functionals, and the control of the non resonant sets after each normal form steps.
With this roadmap in hand, the expression of is fundamental as it drives the small denominators. Here appears a drastic difference between (NLS) and (NLSP). Indeed, the first normal term corresponding to the Hamiltonian is of the form
[TABLE]
The frequencies associated with this integrable Hamiltonian are of the form
[TABLE]
We thus observe that for (NLSP) for which , and , if with large , these frequencies are essentially dominated by low modes at a scale . Hence it is easy to prove that the small denominators associated with which are linear combinations of the are generically non resonant, with a loss of derivative independent of .
Hence for (NLSP), we can work through the previous programme, and the coefficients in the condition will indeed be independent of .
For (NLS) (for which ), the situation is much worse. Indeed the previous frequency degenerate to
[TABLE]
We thus see that the small denominators associated with are of the form
[TABLE]
with and as is in , the are of order . Hence the natural non resonant condition (that is generic in ) takes the form
[TABLE]
where denote the smallest index amongst the and . Such a condition was used in [Bou00]. We see that to run through the previous programme, we have to distribute the derivative of order associated with the lowest index of the irreducible parts of the monomials, coming at each step of the normal form construction.
Unfortunately, such a distribution cannot be done straightforwardly. One of the reason is the presence of the remaining terms depending on the actions in the process. Indeed, take a monomial of the form , where depends only on the actions associated with low modes, the remaining part being irreducible. These terms will enter into the normal form construction first as right-hand side of the homological equation, in which case they will be divided by defined in (20), and then will contribute to the higher order terms by Poisson bracket with the other remaining terms. Now take some previously constructed (for example ). New terms will enter into the next homological right hand side that are made of Poisson brackets between this term and the constructed functional. Amongst the new term to solve, we will have terms of the form where depends again only on low modes. At this stage, it will be possible to distribute the derivative on the irreducible monomials, but by iterating, we see that at each resolution of the homological equation, we will have to divide by the same small denominator. After such iterations, we will end up with monomials of the form where depends on low modes, and for , we will not be able to control this terms independently of . Hence the previous procedure cannot be applied.
To remedy this difficulty, a natural idea (coming from KAM strategy) is to include the term in the normal form construction, that is to solve at each step the homological equation with . Nevertheless, this trick brings good and bad news:
-The bad news is that the frequencies associated with the Hamiltonian are not perturbations of the frequencies of . We can even show that for a given generic distribution of the , there are producing resonances for the Hamiltonian while is non resonant.
-The good news is that the structure of ressembles the structures of the Hamiltonian of (NLSP) with a similar convolution potential coming from the first resonant normal form done with the Laplace operator. In other words, is much less resonant than , and has frequencies that satisfy generic non resonance conditions with loss of derivatives independent of .
The strategy of proof is thus to apply the previous programme with instead of alone, after having taking care of the genericity condition on the initial data that have to link now the distribution of the and . This explain the major difference between the statement for (NLS) and (NLSP). The main drawback is that by doing so, we break the natural homogeneity in which yields some specific technical difficulties, in particular in the definition of a class of rational functions, which must be stable by Poisson bracket and solution of homological equations, while preserving the asymptotic in .
3. General setting
3.1. Hamiltonian formalism
Let . We identify a pair with via the formula
[TABLE]
We denote by such an element and we endow this set of sequences with the topology:
[TABLE]
where111Here for we set .
[TABLE]
We associate with two complex functions on the torus and through the formulas
[TABLE]
We say that is real when for any . In this case is the complex conjugate of : , and the definition of coincides with (3).
Remark 3.1*.*
The sequences spaces , which are in fact Besov spaces, are not perfectly adapted to Fourier analysis: when with then the functions and belong to the Sobolev space while when and belong to then its sequence of Fourier coefficients belongs to only for . This lost of regularity would not happen in the Fourier space nevertheless we prefer because it leads to simpler estimates of the flows (see for instance Proposition 3.7). Anyway the results we obtain thus lead to control of Sobolev norms over long times.
We endow with the symplectic structure
[TABLE]
For a function of , we define its Hamiltonian vector field by where is the symplectic operator induced by the symplectic form (24), , and by definition we set for ,
[TABLE]
So reads in coordinates
[TABLE]
For two functions and , the Poisson Bracket is (formally) defined as
[TABLE]
where denotes the natural bilinear pairing: .
We say that a Hamiltonian function is *real * if is real for all real .
Definition 3.2**.**
For a given and a given open set in , we denote by the space of real Hamiltonians satisfying
[TABLE]
We will use the shortcut to indicate that there exists an open set in such that .
Notice that for and in the formula (25) is well defined.
3.2. Hamiltonian flows
With a given Hamiltonian function , we associate the Hamiltonian system
[TABLE]
which also reads in coordinates
[TABLE]
Concerning the Hamiltonian flows we have
Proposition 3.3**.**
Let . Any Hamiltonian in defines a local flow in which preserves the reality condition, i.e. if the initial condition is real, the flow is also real, for all .
Proof.
The existence of the local flow is a consequence of the Cauchy-Lipschitz theorem.
Furthermore let us denote by the function defined by . Since is real we have and thus its differential at any point and in any direction vanishes222Here by a slight abuse of notation denotes the bilinear pairing in .:
[TABLE]
Therefore for all and the system (26) preserves the reality condition. ∎
In this setting Equations (NLS) and (NLSP) are equivalent to Hamiltonian systems associated with the real Hamiltonian function
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
in the (NLS) case, and
[TABLE]
in the (NLSP) case, where we recall that for and . We first notice that in both cases, belongs to , in fact we have:
Lemma 3.4**.**
Let and let and be two analytic functions defined on a neighborhood of the origin in that takes real values when is real. Then the formulas
[TABLE]
define Hamiltonian and belonging to where is some neighborhood of the origin in .
Proof.
First we verify that (30) and (31) define regular maps on .
By definition, and the Fourier transform defines an isomorphism between and a subset of that we still denote by . Moreover, for , we have and thus the mapping is analytic from to . Extending this argument, if is analytic in a neighborhood of the origin, the application is analytic from a neighborhood of the origin in into .
Through the identification , see (23) the Hamiltonian reads
[TABLE]
Since the mapping is analytic on , we conclude that is an analytic function from a neighborhood of the origin in into . Similar arguments apply to .
Next we verify that and are still regular333The analyticity of only insure that belongs to the dual of . function from into . We focus on but similar arguments apply to . We have
[TABLE]
with
[TABLE]
Expanding in entire series we rewrite in a convergent sum of terms of the form
[TABLE]
i.e. the convolution product of sequences in . Then the conclusion follows from the fact that for any
[TABLE]
∎
On the contrary the quadratic part of , , corresponding to the linear part of (NLS) does not belong to . Nevertheless it generates a continuous flow which maps into explicitly given for all time and for all indices by , . Furthermore this flow has the group property. By standard arguments (see for instance [Caz03]), this is enough to define the local flow of in :
Proposition 3.5**.**
Let . Let be the NLS Hamiltonian defined by (27) and a sufficiently small initial datum. Then the Hamilton equation
[TABLE]
admits a local solution which is real if is real.
The reality of the flow is proved as in the proof of Proposition 3.3.
3.3. Polynomial Hamiltonians
For we define three nested subsets of satisfying zero momentum conditions of increasing order:
[TABLE]
We set , and .
For , denotes the irreductible part of , i.e. a subsequence of maximal length containing no actions in the sense that if for all .
We set
[TABLE]
We will use indices belonging to , i.e. for some with . We denote . We use the convention for .
For , we set . We also denote by , and we notice that when is real, we have .
Definition 3.6**.**
We say that is a homogeneous polynomial of order if it can be written
[TABLE]
and such that the coefficients satisfy .
Note that the last condition ensures that is real, as the set of indices are invariant by the application . Following [FG10] we easily get
Proposition 3.7**.**
Let . A homogeneous polynomial, , of degree belongs to and we have
[TABLE]
Furthermore for two homogeneous polynomials, and , of degree respectively and , the Poisson bracket is a homogeneous polynomial of degree , and we have the estimate
[TABLE]
For , we set the action of index . denote the set of all the actions.
We note that for a real in we have . Therefore, an integrable Hamiltonian, i.e. a Hamiltonian function depending only on the actions has a flow which leaves invariant each norm.
We introduce integrable polynomials that will be used later (see Theorem 7.1):
[TABLE]
The first one is the quadratic part of the NLS Hamiltonian, the second one is the quartic part and the third one contains the effective terms of the sextic part (see Theorem 7.1).
We note that and are polynomials of degree and in the sense of Definition 3.6, and thus define Hamiltonians in for all .
4. Non-resonance conditions
In this section we discuss the control of small denominators corresponding to the the previous integrable Hamiltonians. We also give results allowing to control them, and show the probability estimates associated with non resonant sets.
4.1. Small denominators
For , if for , we set
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
With these notations, we have for , owing to the fact that and ,
[TABLE]
Note also that
[TABLE]
and that except when for which .
For , we have the expression
[TABLE]
as the first term in (36) do not contribute using the relation .
We also introduce the following denominator:
[TABLE]
The following lemma allows to control the evolution of the small denominators when moving the coordinates.
Lemma 4.1**.**
Let and be given. The exists a constant such that for all with and all , we have
[TABLE]
Moreover, let be associated with the actions and , and let . Then we have
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Proof.
Along the proof, will denote a constant depending on , and derivatives of the function at [math]. Let us denote with and for . We calculate that
[TABLE]
We see that the first term can be controlled by
[TABLE]
and the second by
[TABLE]
The estimate for the third term is the same, which shows (41).
Now to prove (42), we have using the expression (40),
[TABLE]
We obtain (42) by noticing that
[TABLE]
The proof of (43) is then easily obtained by using the previous result, and explicit expressions of showing that this function is homogeneous of order and thus locally Lipschitz in with Lipschitz constant of order on balls of size in as can be seen by using estimates similar to the previous one. ∎
4.2. Non resonant sets
As usual we have to control the small divisors, this will be the case for belonging the following non resonant sets:
Definition 4.2**.**
Let , and , we say that belongs to the non resonant set , if for all of length we have
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
We also define the truncated non resonant set:
Definition 4.3**.**
Let , and , and let . We say that belongs to the non resonant set , if for all of length such that , we have
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
It turns out that for not too large depending on and for we have . Precisely we have:
Proposition 4.4**.**
Let and be given. There exists such that for all , for all and all satisfying
[TABLE]
we have that if and then .
Proof.
The hypothesis and shows that if satisfies (44), we have
[TABLE]
which shows (46) for all , as and hence . Similarly, we have
[TABLE]
which shows that satisfies (47) with .
To prove (47), we use the fact that using (41) we have
[TABLE]
This shows that
[TABLE]
and we deduce the result by choosing . ∎
We conclude this section with two stability results of the truncated resonant sets. The first one use the fact that the non resonance conditions depend only upon :
Proposition 4.5**.**
Let and be given. There exists such that the following holds: for and , let such that , then for all and for all such that
[TABLE]
we have .
Proof.
We introduce the Banach space that we endow with the norm .
Let , we have using (40),
[TABLE]
Thus since we get using (48)
[TABLE]
by choosing .
On the other hand using that is a homogeneous polynomial of order 3 on . For such polynomial (with bounded coefficients) is a function and for in a ball of of size centered at [math] we have
[TABLE]
So we get
[TABLE]
Thus since we get using (48)
[TABLE]
by choosing . ∎
The second stability result shows that the truncated resonant sets are stable by perturbation in up to change of constants.
Proposition 4.6**.**

5. Probability estimates
In this section, we prove two genericity results for the (NLS) non-resonant sets (and give also some Lemmas that will be used in the (NLSP) case). We consider real , we consider the actions as random variables. On the one hand, if we prove that typically is non-resonant. On the other hand, typically, up to some exceptional values of , we show that is non-resonant.
In this section and are fixed numbers, is the Haar measure of and we consider as a function of the random variables , such that
- •
the actions , , are independent variables,
- •
is uniformly distributed in .
We note that this last assumption implies that .
The first proposition describes the case where is fixed.
Proposition 5.1**.**
There exists a constant such that for all we have
[TABLE]
The second proposition describes the case where is chosen randomly and the asymptotic of is considered as goes to [math].
Proposition 5.2**.**
There exists a constant and such that for all and all we have
[TABLE]
Corollary 5.3**.**
There exists a constant and such that for all , , all , all sequence of random variables uniformly distributed in and independent of , there is a probability larger than to realize such that that there is a probability larger than to realize such that is non-resonant (i.e. ). More formally, we have
[TABLE]
Remark 5.4*.*
The variables are not necessarily independent. For example, we could choose for all .
In order to prove these propositions and the corollary, we introduce some notations and elementary stochastic lemmas.
Definition 5.5**.**
If a random variable has a density with respect to the Lebesgue measure, we denote its density, i.e.
[TABLE]
Lemma 5.6**.**
If is a random variable with density with values in and satisfies then has a density and
[TABLE]
Proof.
If then we have
[TABLE]
∎
Corollary 5.7**.**
If is uniformly distributed on and almost surely then has a density given by
[TABLE]
Moreover, if has a density and then has a density and for all
[TABLE]
In particular, we have for all and ,
[TABLE]
Lemma 5.8**.**
Let be some real independent random variables. If has a density, then for all
[TABLE]
Proof.
By Tonelli theorem, we have
[TABLE]
∎
Lemma 5.9**.**
If are such that then for all
[TABLE]
Proof.
Applying a natural change of coordinate, we get
[TABLE]
∎
A first application of these lemmas is the genericity of the non-resonance assumption (44).
Lemma 5.10**.**
There exists a constant such that for all we have
[TABLE]
Proof.
We are going to bound the probability of the complementary event by . For each of length smaller than or equal to , we have to estimate , where will be judiciously chosen.
We recall that by definition, if and then we have
[TABLE]
So paying attention to the multiplicity, this sum writes
[TABLE]
where is an integer, satisfies and is a subsequence of . Thus, using Lemma 5.8, we have
[TABLE]
by using (49). Consequently, if we take
[TABLE]
we get
[TABLE]
Using the fact that and the zero momenta conditions (3.3), we see that and can be expressed as functions of , so this last product is summable on . Consequently, there exists a constant such that
[TABLE]
∎
A second application is the proof of Corollary 5.3 of Proposition 5.2.
Proof of Corollary 5.3.
We denote the event defined by
[TABLE]
Applying Proposition (5.2), there exists a constant such that for all we have . Thus, we will conclude this proof showing that
[TABLE]
To show this, we just have to prove that
[TABLE]
By a natural change of variable (see Lemma 5.6), has a density given by
[TABLE]
Consequently, since is independent of , applying Chasles formula, we get
[TABLE]
and we easily obtain the result after a scaling in .
To take into account the terms induced by in the proof Proposition 5.1 and Proposition 5.2, we are going to need an useful algebraic lemma.
Lemma 5.11**.**
If with , there exists such that
[TABLE]
Proof.
First, we observe that there exists of degree smaller than or equal to such that
[TABLE]
Since is irreductible, we deduce of the uniqueness of partial fraction decomposition that . Hence, vanishes in, at most, points. But there are, at least, points into . So we can find in this set such that .
Then, since and , we deduce that . Thus, to prove (50), we just have to bound each factor of the denominator in (51) by
[TABLE]
To get this estimate we just have to observe that if then
[TABLE]
whereas, if then and so
[TABLE]
∎
**Proof of Proposition 5.2. **Let and . We introduce three events
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
where is a positive constant that will be determine later.
We have proven in Lemma 5.10 that there exists a constant such that
[TABLE]
We are going to prove, on the one hand, that there exists a constant (independent of and ) such that
[TABLE]
On the other hand, we will prove that
[TABLE]
Assuming (52) and (53), and up to a natural rescaling with respect to , Proposition 5.2 becomes a straightforward estimate:
[TABLE]
First, we focus on the proof of (52), which is similar to the proof of Lemma 5.10. We are going to bound the probability of the complementary event by . For each of length smaller than or equal to , we have to estimate , where will be judiciously chosen.
We recall that by definition, if and then we have
[TABLE]
Thus, using Lemma 5.8 and Corollary (5.7) we have
[TABLE]
Applying Lemma 5.11 to estimate this infimum, we get
[TABLE]
Consequently, choosing , we get with
[TABLE]
Now, we focus on the proof of (53). So, we consider a realization of the actions where the lower bounds characterising and are satisfied, i.e. for all irreductible of length smaller than or equal to we have
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
We have to estimate for such a realization . Thus, we decompose naturally the set we are estimating:
[TABLE]
with
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
In fact, since is linear, satisfies (55) and , is the empty set. Thus, we have
[TABLE]
So, we have to estimate and . Observing that is quadratic, we have
[TABLE]
Thus, we are going to estimate and with Lemma 5.9. To apply, this Lemma, we observe that from (55) and (56) we have
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Consequently, applying Lemma 5.9 with , we get
[TABLE]
as the first previous estimate can be recast as Similarly, we obtain
[TABLE]
Hence, since these sum are clearly convergent, we have proven that for a convenient choice of .
**Proof of Proposition 5.1. **Let be a fixed positive real number. By definition of , we decompose into
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Since is linear, does not depend of . Consequently, applying Lemma 5.10, we get a constant such that . So assuming that there exists a constant such that , we could conclude the proof of Proposition 5.1 by the following estimate
[TABLE]
Thus, we just have to focus on the proof of the existence of . So, we recall that by definition, if and then we have with ,
[TABLE]
By construction, it is a sum of independent random variable, thus applying Lemma 5.8, we have the estimate on the complement
[TABLE]
where is the probability density function of the part depending on in and the probability density function of the part depending on the variable , and where
[TABLE]
By using (49), we have that
[TABLE]
and thus
[TABLE]
Similarly using Lemma 5.11, we obtain
[TABLE]
Hence there exists a constant depending on such that
[TABLE]
for some constants and , and this shows the result.
6. A class of rational Hamiltonians
The set of Hamiltonian functions constructed in the normal form process arise from solving homological equation associated with small denominators and (see (38)). Then a natural class of Hamiltonians should be
[TABLE]
for some functions which are inverse of products of small denominators and associated with multi-indices depending on the construction process. Note that we sum over since the non resonant part will be killed beforehand by a standard resonant normal form procedure involving polynomial Hamiltonians (see section 7.1). Each term of (57) will be controlled by the non resonance conditions (44) and (45), provided we can compensate the loss of derivative arising in the small denominator by terms in the numerator . For a given , several terms can appear in that are associated with different small denominators. To take into account the specificity of each term arising in the normal form process described in section 7 we will introduce four sub-classes of rational Hamiltonians.
Notice that in the case of (NLSP), the situation is simpler and only two sub-classes are needed (see Appendix A).
6.1. Construction of the class
First we introduce the following set of indices, encoding the structure of the possible terms arising in (57).
For , let be a set of multi-indices valued functions
[TABLE]
For a given and , we associated for some , and for some and in . For some given set of coefficients we will define the Hamiltonian function
[TABLE]
Note that such Hamiltonian can be recast under the form (57) by setting
[TABLE]
Roughly speaking, the structure of the class can be explained as follows: Each time a homological equation for or is solved, the term is divided by or so the functionals are naturally under the previous form. The fact that we decompose into two parts the contribution of in the denominator is explained by the order condition (ii) just below.
To ensure that the Hamiltonians are well defined and that their vectorfield can be controlled in , we impose several restrictions on the set : if the following conditions are satisfied
(i) Reality. The functional is real, i.e. for real . This condition is satisfied by imposing for all ,
[TABLE]
after noticing that and . Note that this implies that and are even functions of .
(ii) order. The link between the terms of the class and the order is given by the relation
[TABLE]
This definition corresponds to the fact that while the numerator is of order and the homogeneity of the non resonance condition of is , the homogeneity of the small denominator can be of order or depending on the non resonance condition we use in (47). The previous notation then specifies that will be controlled by the non resonance condition homogeneous to while the others, , will be controlled by the non resonance condition homogeneous to .
(iii) Consistency. We assume that .
(iv) Finite numerator and denominator degrees. We assume that
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
(v) Finite multiplicity. We assume that
. This condition ensures that the number of terms defining in (60) is finite.
(vi) Distribution of the derivatives. There exists a positive constant such that for all , there exists , an injective function satisfying
[TABLE]
This condition ensures that terms of the form arising in the denominators when using (44) or (45) can be compensated by modes in the numerators smaller than the third largest. In other words, the first and second largest indices in , and will be free and not required to control the small denominators and . This will ensure a global control of the vector field associated with after truncation independently of .
(vii) Global control of the structure. The following condition ensures that the structure has a kind of memory of the zero-momentum condition.
[TABLE]
For and , we define the weight of relatively to by
[TABLE]
Then we introduce the space
[TABLE]
Note that the Hamiltonian defined by (59) is clearly an analytic function on an open subset of avoiding the zeros of the denominators. Further we note that is the maximal size of indices we have at the denominator and thus the control that we will have on this denominator when belongs to the non resonant set (see Definition 4.2) will only depend on .
In order to stick as closely as possible to the rational Hamiltonians we are going to build in the next sections, we introduce four subclasses of denoted by and respectively. This technical refinement, not really indispensable, will allow us to control (see Remark 6.2) which in turn will allow us to obtain better constants in our Theorems444Without tracking the form of our rational normal forms we will obtain in the right hand side of (14) for some constant depending on and , instead of . . We first give the four definitions and then comment on them.

Some comments to clarify the meaning of these definitions:

- •
the precise numerology is dictated by the experience of calculating the first terms and by the need for the overall structure to be stable by Poisson bracket (see Lemma 6.6 which underlies the whole construction).
We eventually define the set of functionals associated with a structure in ,
[TABLE]
Then, we define naturally its subsets and .
Remark 6.1*.*
Note that all polynomials of the form (33) can be written under the form for some with and the convention . More precisely, if is a polynomial of order , then it can be written under the previous form, with .
Remark 6.2*.*
The uniform bound on the numerator in condition (62) can be specified on the subclasses. More precisely, using (61) we deduce that if belongs to or and then
[TABLE]
Similarly, if belongs to or and then
[TABLE]
6.2. Structural lemmas
In this section we verify that our class allows to define flows and that this class is stable by resolution of homological equations and by Poisson bracket.
6.2.1. Control of the vector fields
First, we have to verify that the vector field associated with Hamiltonian belonging to the class defined above are under control in in such way it defines a regular flow. In other words we would like to prove that such Hamiltonian are regular in the sense of Definition 3.2. Actually, we will control the vector field of Hamiltonian of the form for which for a given , a property that is stable by Poisson bracket and solution of homological equation according to Lemmas 6.4 and 6.6.
Lemma 6.3**.**
Let , , and be given. For all or there exists a constant such that for all , all and all such that , then is a regular Hamiltonian in the sense of Definition 3.2 and for all
[TABLE]
with
[TABLE]
Proof.
Let . We have seen in (70) and (71) that this quantity is bounded by . The functional can be written under the form
[TABLE]
where the coefficients , which depend on , are given by (60).
Let be fixed, the component of the vector field is given by
[TABLE]
Let us examine the contributions coming from the first type of terms in the right-hand side.
Let with be given, and , and the integers associated with one term in the decomposition (60). To control the denominators, as we will use the estimates (46) and (47). More precisely, as (see (63)), we have
[TABLE]
by definition of the weight and using the fact that . Similarly, we will use
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
After using these bounds, we can conclude that for , there exists depending only on and such that
[TABLE]
where we verify that for , and for , for and for . Indeed, we used that in all those cases we always have by using (61). In the other hand if or , we have and or for and respectively. Hence the value of in these both cases. Now if , we have with the notations (68)-(69), , infering the value of . The case or is treated similarly.
Up to a combinatorial factor, we can assume that , and hence , and moreover we can also assume that is the largest index amongst . Hence or depending if or not. Furthermore using our Hypothesis (vi) on the repartition of the derivatives (see (64)) we have
[TABLE]
With these choices and this estimate, we get
[TABLE]
where is in and of norm smaller than by assumption. Since it satisfies the zero-momentum condition and thus . Hence the last sum is bounded by
[TABLE]
By summing with respect to , we get that the first contribution of the right-hand side of (73) for the estimate of satisfies the bound (72).
Now we study the second contribution in the equation (73). To this aim, let us write
[TABLE]
where correspond to the decomposition (60). In view of the structure of , we have
[TABLE]
Let us assume that and . We have with the previous notation and using again (74)
[TABLE]
Now as , we have by using (64) and the fact that ,
[TABLE]
and the contribution corresponding to this term in the expression
[TABLE]
is thus bounded by
[TABLE]
as and are larger than the third largest index in . By summing with respect to , the global contribution of these terms satisfies the estimate (72).
We obtain similar estimates for the terms in (75) associated with the part of and coming from . It remains to estimates the part coming from in (75). Typically a term of the form will yield a contribution of the form
[TABLE]
where are uniformly bounded in . The global contribution of these term, by estimating and by will be
[TABLE]
This shows the result with . ∎
6.2.2. Homological equations
In this section we will see that our class is particularly well adapted to the solution homological equations, the central step in the construction of normal forms. Actually, this class was constructed precisely to be invariant by Poisson bracket and by solution of the homological equation with or .
We define the set as the subset of elements of for which depends only on the actions. This means that for all , .
Then we define the subset of elements of such that for all , . Note that for all there exists and such that for all , , and
[TABLE]
We also naturally define the corresponding subsets of
[TABLE]
the functionals of order depending only on the actions, and
[TABLE]
Naturally, we define , as the restrictions of to , , , .
With this formalism, the resolution of the homological equation is trivial, after noticing that and commute with terms depending only of the actions and by using the relations (38).
Lemma 6.4**.**
Let . Defining with

We will also need to solve a homological equation associated with :
Lemma 6.5**.**
Let . Defining with

We postpone the proof to appendix B ∎
7. Rational normal form
In this section we prove Theorem 2.1 for (NLS). As announced in section 2.2 this is achieved in three steps: First we kill the non resonant monomials in the Hamiltonian by using as normal form (Section 7.1), then we kill the remaining non integrable terms () of order 6 by including the resonant part of order 4, namely (which is integrable), in the normal form (Section 7.2), finally we kill all the non integrable terms up to order by including the integrable part of order 6, namely , in the normal form (Section 7.3).
7.1. Resonant normal form
In this section we apply a Birkhoff normal form procedure to kill iteratively the non resonant monomials up to order of the Hamiltonian .
Theorem 7.1**.**
For all and , there exists a symplectomorphism in a neighborhood of the origin in close to the identity:
[TABLE]
which puts in normal form up to order 6:
[TABLE]
where for all , is a homogeneous resonant polynomial of order
[TABLE]
and where contains only irreducible monomials
[TABLE]
Moreover, is smooth in a neighborhood of the origin and satisfies
[TABLE]
for small enough in .
Proof.
The proof is standard (it first appears in [KP96]) except for the calculation of the resonant terms of order six. For convenience of the reader we give the details.
We have where is given by (28) and we write
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
and is a remainder of order i.e. and . We note that the integrable Hamiltonian given by (17) reads
[TABLE]
First we kill the non resonant monomials of order 4 by a change of variables . We search for , the time one flow of of a polynomial Hamiltonian homogeneous of order 4:
[TABLE]
For any , the Taylor expansion of between and gives
[TABLE]
Applying this formula to we get
[TABLE]
In this formule the homogeneous part of order 4 is . Then we set
[TABLE]
We note that at this stage there are no small divisors problem since except when in which case . So and are well defined homogeneous polynomials of order 4 and, using (39) they solve the homological equation
[TABLE]
Further with
[TABLE]
is a smooth Hamiltonian beginning at order 6 i.e. .
We can iterate this procedure to kill successively the non resonant monomials of order . Then we get the existence of a symplectomorphism close to the identity and defined on a neighborhood of the origin in such that
[TABLE]
where are resonant polynomials of the form (82), is a smooth remainder satisfying (84) on a neighborhood of the origin and is a resonant monomial of order 6. It remains to compute and .
Concerning we have
[TABLE]
but
[TABLE]
leads to
[TABLE]
Therefore we get as anounced in (36)
[TABLE]
After the first two Birkhoff procedures we get555Recall that the Poisson bracket of a Polynomial of order with a polynomial of order is a polynomial of order . where is the resonant part of and is the resonant part of .
Let us start with the latter, following (85) we have
[TABLE]
If then, assuming for instance , we get which leads as before to So either or , i.e.
[TABLE]
where is of the form (83).
It remains to compute . First we notice that using the homological equation (86) we get
[TABLE]
where denotes the non resonant part of :
[TABLE]
We easily verify that the Poisson bracket of a resonant monomial with a non resonant monomial cannot be resonant. Therefore is the resonant part of
[TABLE]
Then we proceed as for to conclude that
[TABLE]
where is of the form666In fact a long but straightforward computation leads to which means that, up to order 6, the Birkhoff normal form of the cubic NLS depends only on the actions. A sort of reminiscence of the complete integrability. Nevertheless this result is not needed in this paper and the calculation is long… (83) and is the part of depending only on the actions. So we can write
[TABLE]
where the values of , , are compute in Lemma 7.2 below.
Thus we get
[TABLE]

Lemma 7.2**.**
The coefficients of the term satisfy
- (i)
* for all ,*
- (i)
* for all , and ,*
- (i)
* for all .*
Proof.
We use formulas (90) and (91) to identify the terms of depending only on actions.
(i) If with a monomial from and a monomial from then necessarily and . But since we get and thus is resonant which is not possible.
(ii) Assume with . We consider two different cases:
and . Since we get which is incompatible with . All similar cases obtained by permutation of lead to the same incompatibility.
and . Since we get and then we calculate . By permutation we get up to an irrelevant constant
[TABLE]
(iii) Assume with . We consider different cases:
and . Since we get which is incompatible with .
and . We get again using the zero momentum condition that which is incompatible with .
and . The zero momentum leads to and we get . So
It remains to calculate the number of occurrences of this configuration in : we can exchange and in and in and we can exchange and . So 8 occurrences in (91) and thus

7.2. Elimination of the quintic term by the cubic
It’s mercy, compassion, and forgiveness I lack. Not rationality. Beatrix Kiddo in “Kill Bill: Volume 1" (Q. Tarentino, 2003).
In this section we will truncate the new Hamiltonian and eliminate the resonant term with the help of . Moreover, we will show that the new Hamiltonian admits a development with terms of the form with in the class .
Proposition 7.3**.**
Let and be given. There exist , for , and a constant , such that for all , with

for all ,
- •
for all ,

For all , we have
[TABLE]
- •
* takes values in and satisfies the estimates*
[TABLE]
Proof.
The proof is divided into two steps. First we introduce a cut-off in frequency allowing to work only with rational functionals whose irreducible monomials have their largest index bounded by . Then we will define the change of variable and express the Hamiltonian in the new variable.
First step: Truncation. For all , we decompose of (82) into , with
[TABLE]
where will be constant that will be specified later. Let be a given index. Up to a combinatorial factor, we have
[TABLE]
Let us assume that is the highest index in the monomial in the right-hand side, and the second highest. We thus have at least . By using the zero momentum condition, we have
[TABLE]
where the constant depends on and . It is thus easy to verify that when , we have
[TABLE]
If we define , we easily verify that it satisfies the hypothesis of the Proposition.
Now let us consider . By Remark 6.1, there exists and with and such that
[TABLE]
Let us prove that, up to a choice of , ,
For a given monomial up to a combinatorial factor, let us assume that and correspond to the first and second largest indexes. We thus have for . Let us denote by . We have by definition of ,
[TABLE]
If and are of the same sign, this implies that and are smaller than for small enough. If and are opposite signs, then two cases can occur.
- •
. In this case, and the product is an action. In this situation, and hence .
- •
. In this case, the first equation in (95) yields if , then we have
[TABLE]
showing that for small enough. As necessarily, we conclude that .
- •
In any other situation, we have
[TABLE]
with and . This shows that and hence and smaller than , for a good choice of . We conclude as in the previous case that .
Second step: Construction of . As we have seen, can be written under the form for some and weight . Furthermore by Theorem 7.1, contains only irreducible monomials so . By using Lemma 6.5, there exists such that is solution of the homological equation
[TABLE]
Moreover, . Hence by using (72), we immediately obtain the estimate
[TABLE]
for .
We then define the flow at time associated with the Hamiltonian . Now let . We have to prove that the flow at time of the Hamiltonian remain in the set . To prove this result, we use a bootstrap argument. Let us assume that this is the case.
By using (96), we easily obtain that
[TABLE]
for some constant that we choose to be the one of assumption (92) . So we have in particular , and hence provided . Moreover, using Proposition 4.6, with and , we have
[TABLE]
where is the constant of Proposition 4.6. As a consequence we have which concludes the bootstarp argument. Estimate (94) then easily follows. Note that is injective by definition of the flow.
Now we apply to (81), taking into account, , we get
[TABLE]
First we notice that . Indeed, , and is a resonant monomial in thus we have as well as . Hence .
On the other hand we have, using the notation ,
[TABLE]
and a similar formula for all the terms of (97), in particular
[TABLE]
Note that by definition of , the term and cancel. The first three terms in the asymptotics are thus . Now let us look at the other terms generated. As with , and as , Lemma 6.6 shows that . Similarly, we have By collecting the elements of same degree, we obtain the claimed decomposition (93) where is a sum of terms of order greater than and where by a slight abuse of notation we still denote by its composition by (which is closed to the identity).
The estimates on the remainder are then consequences of the previous estimates on , upon using the condition (92). ∎
Remark 7.4*.*
We have for
[TABLE]
as is in a neighborhood of the origin and up to some change of constant . Hence by the same argument as in the proof, we have that the application maps into .
7.3. Quintic normal form
You and I have unfinished business. Beatrix Kiddo in "Kill Bill: Volume 2" (Q. Tarentino, 2004).
Recall that is the set of rational functions that depend only on the actions and can be written with . By solving iteratively homological equations with the normal form term , we obtain the following proposition:
Proposition 7.5**.**
Let be given. For all , there exist , for , and a constant , such that for all , , satisfying

- •
for all ,
- •
For all , we have
[TABLE]

* takes values in and satisfies the estimates*
[TABLE]
Proof.
We construct by induction. Note that in the Hamiltonian (93), the terms are in . Starting with this Hamiltonian, we define and according to the decomposition (see (76))
[TABLE]
where . Then Lemma 6.4 gives us such that
[TABLE]
We define , and we easily verity that and satisfy the hypothesis of the proposition. Setting , and using (72), the application satisfies an estimate under the form
[TABLE]
Thus using (99) we conclude
[TABLE]
As in the previous Proposition, we verify by using Proposition 4.6 that if , then for all where we take .
By using formulas similar to (98) and shrinking up to , we see that
[TABLE]
where , , and satisfy the condition of the Theorem.
By induction, for a given , let us assume that the Hamiltonian is put on normal form up to order ,
[TABLE]
with remainder terms , satisfying (101), and . Let us decompose where and . Then to eliminate we construct by solving the homological equation of Lemma (6.4). We have with and by Lemma 6.3 and under the assumption (92)
[TABLE]
We then easily verify that the transformation satisfies the conditions of the Theorem. ∎
7.4. Proof of the rational normal form Theorem
Proof of Theorem 2.1.
To prove Theorem 2.1 it suffices to apply Proposition 7.5 at order and to choose
[TABLE]
With this choice of , we have
[TABLE]
so that the estimate (10) is satisfied for in (101) for small enough (we reach the order instead of to normalize the constant to ).
Now condition (99) can be written
[TABLE]
Choosing and using the definition of , this condition is satisfied:
[TABLE]
With these choices, Theorem 2.1 holds true with
[TABLE]
as is injective on . Moreover, by Remark (7.4) and the previous estimates, we have , and
[TABLE]
∎
8. Dynamical consequences and probability estimates
We are now in position to prove Corollary 2.2 and Theorem (2.3). First, we define the sets
[TABLE]
where as previously . With this definition, Estimate (14) is a consequence of Proposition 5.1 and Proposition (4.4). Note that the condition required in this proposition is ensured (with ) under the condition (99). Note moreover that we use the term in the definition of to fix the constant to in the final probability estimate and obtain .
Similarly, (15) is obtained from Corollary (5.3) with . This proves Theorem (2.3).
To prove the dynamical consequences, we note that the open set contains the initial value in the new variable. Let and . By using (105) we have . Hence by using Proposition 4.6, we deduce that
[TABLE]
The goal of the analysis is thus to prove that the dynamics starting in remains in the set for a time . To prove this, we first recall a small lemma proved in [FG10]:
Lemma 8.1**.**
let a continuous function, and a differentiable function satisfying the inequality
[TABLE]
Then we have the estimate
[TABLE]
Proof of Corollary 2.2.
We use a bootstrap argument. Let us fix , and as in Theorem 2.1. Let and . By definition, we have
[TABLE]
and let
[TABLE]
Note that for , we have which coincides with the solution governed by the Hamiltonian by uniqueness of the solution. We are going to prove that if then and then conclude to by a continuity argument. To prove this we have, in view of (104), to control the small divisors (46) and (47) and the norm .
Let denote the actions of . For we can use Theorem 2.1 to conclude that
[TABLE]
Therefore for , we have
[TABLE]
Together with Proposition 4.5, this equation shows that for and under the condition (99) fulfilled by and , we have .
To control the norm of , we note that since we get using (106) and Lemma 8.1
[TABLE]
Using (9) we get for and small enough
[TABLE]
hence for . This shows in particular that on this time horizon and conclude our bootstrap argument.
Finally it remains to prove (11). Let , by (9) we get that . We then deduce that for
[TABLE]
which shows (11) and conclude the proof of the Corollary. ∎
Appendix A The case of (NLSP)
As explain in section 2.2, the main difference between (NLS) and (NLSP) appears when we calculate . Indeed, the resonant normal form procedure used in section 7.1 leads, in the (NLSP) case, to the following formula (see (19) with , and )
[TABLE]
Thus the frequencies associated with this integrable Hamiltonian are
[TABLE]
For these frequencies we obtain a much better control of the small denominators that the one obtained for (NLS), in particular, contrary to the (NLS) case (see (21)), the loss of derivative is independent of .
For , if for , the small denominators in the (NLSP) case are given by
[TABLE]
Let us remark that has the same structure of the small denominator associated with used to obtain non resonance estimates, except that is replaced by as it can be easily seen by comparing the previous formula with (54). By proceeding as in Section 5, with the crucial use of Lemma 5.11, we obtain the following result whose proof whose proof is left to the reader.
Lemma A.1**.**
Assume that , are independent random variable with uniformly distributed in , then there exists a constant such that for all we have
[TABLE]
The major difference with the (NLS) case is that now the small denominator do not depend on (compare with Lemma 5.10). Hence, the construction can be performed without having to distribute the derivative and we can apply a normal form procedure using only (and not as in the (NLS) case).
Following the general strategy, for , , and , we say that belongs to the non resonant set , if for all of length we have
[TABLE]
and the that belongs to the truncated non resonant set , if for all of length such that , we have
[TABLE]
An adapted Proposition 4.4 remains valid, namely: for large enough depending on and on we have . Moreover, by using the previous Lemma, if depends on random actions independent and uniformly distributed in , there exists a constant such that for all we have
[TABLE]
Note that the difference with Proposition 5.1 is that for one choice of non resonant actions, the non resonance condition holds for all . In other words, the phenomenon of resonances between and cannot occur in the (NLSP) case.
The class of rational Hamiltonians we need is also simpler: we only need to consider and defined in Section (6), i.e. functionals of the form
[TABLE]
with the same condition as in the (NLS) case, but *without * the restrictive condition (vi) on the distribution of derivatives, making the proof of the Poisson bracket estimate considerably much simpler, as can be seen in the next Appendix.
By using the estimate (111), we can prove an equivalent of Lemma (6.3) for this class of functional (with ) and the steps of the rational normal form construction can be then followed as in Section 7 under the same condition (99). The optimization process in and can then be done in the same way.
In the end, the probability estimate (112) gives Theorem (2.4).
Appendix B Proof of Lemma 6.6
This section is devoted to the proof of Lemma 6.6. As in the statement of the Lemma, let or and let and .
To compute the poisson bracket between and , we only need to calculate the poisson brackets of the summands (see the expression (59)). Applying the Leibniz’s rule we see that, up to combinatorial factors and finite linear combinations depending on , four kind of terms appear depending on which part of the Hamiltonians the Poisson bracket applies to:
Type I.** ** The first type of terms we consider are those where the derivatives apply only on the numerators. They are of the form
[TABLE]
for some and in . Let us set and , i.e. and . The product is a linear combination of terms of the form with .
Up to a combinatorial factor, linear combinations and renumbering to define the application , we can concentrate on terms with of the form
[TABLE]
provided . Clearly, the produced term is of the good form with , , and . In particular the reality condition is easily verified by considering the terms corresponding to and and imposing , and the conditions of the definition of the class are trivially satisfied. We can also verify that these terms fulfill the conditions defining the subclass . Indeed, in the case when , we have and . In the case , we can set for and , and we can easily check that the relations (67) are satisfied for . Moreover, using (68) and (69), we check that , and similarly that the three conditions in (68) are satisfied.
It remains to prove the conditions and that are the most delicate. We analyze different cases according to which are the largest indices among , and . The three main case are , and , and by symmetry, we are left to the following cases to be studied:
[TABLE]
These cases are summarized in Figure 1 where we try to visualize the different configurations.
Cases 3.3**. In these cases, we have and and is automatically satisfied as is always greater than and .**
To prove , we must contruct a fontion that distributes the derivatives in from the functions and distributing the derivatives in and . Note that by induction hypothesis and the definition of the condition (64), the modes , , and are free in the sense that and are not in the image of and .
We see that we can build from and easily if or do not correspond to some or , as and do not appear in . We thus see that the issue is to control by two free modes and by letting the two highest modes and free. Indeed, in such a case, up to a reconfiguration of , the relation (64) will hold again for , by using the induction hypothesis on and . By symmetry, we thus are led to distinguish two cases:
Case 3.3.a**. and . In this case, , and we can distribute the derivative to the free modes and by letting the two highest modes of free.**
Case 3.3.b**. and . In this case, we use the fact that to control by and by which are modes always smaller that .**
Cases 3.2**. and . The main difference with the previous case is that condition (vii) is not automatically satisfied. To prove it, we need a control of and by . But on the other hand, we only need to control by one mode, as was not used in the distribution of the derivative (condition (64)) for . As necessarily the first to highest modes of are in the set we are thus led to the following three cases:**
Case 3.2.a**. and . In this situation, we can easily control by which is free, and fulfill condition (vi). Moreover, we have and and hence condition (65) for is inherited from condition (vii) for and .**
Case 3.2.b**. and . Here, we can control by which is free and smaller than which shows . Moreover, in this situation, we have and so that holds true for .**
Case 3.2.c**. and . In this situation can be easily shown as which free and smaller than . To prove , we notice that and .**
Case 3.1**. and . In this situation we have and . As in the previous case, we only have to distribute derivative in one free mode, i.e. control by . This is done by using the zero momentum condition: we have where depends only on . This shows and is proved by noticing that and .**
Case 2.2**. and and by symmetry we can assume and . In this case, for is directly inherited from the condition for and as and were not involved in them. To prove , we notice that .**
Cases 2.1**. and . In this necessarily, we have . As in the previous case, is easily obtained. To prove we have to distinguish two cases:**
Case 2.1.a**. , which means in particular that . Moreover, by using the zero-momentum condition, we have and this shows the result.**
Case 2.1.a**. . In this situation we just need to prove that is controlled by which is ensured by the fact that by using the zero momentum condition.**
Cases 1.1**. and . As before, is easily obtained. To verify , by symmetry, we have only two cases to examine:**
Case 1.1.a**. and . In this situation, we have by using the zero momentum condition which shows .**
Case 1.1.b**. and . In this case we have necessarily and we conclude by using the zero momentum condition as in the previous case.**
To conclude the analysis of this type, we just observe that (80) is a consequence of the fact that in all the previous cases, we have and the definition (66) of .
Type II.** The second type of terms we consider are those where one appears in the Poisson bracket. They are of the form**
[TABLE]
Let us set . The Poisson bracket above is in general zero, except if one of the index of is conjugated to one of the index of . We can assume here that . In this case, we have
[TABLE]
So the new term is of the good form with and up to a combinatorial factor, linear combinations and renumbering we can define the application in such a way that . The term in the denominator has one more factor repeating the index . Hence we have , , , and . As in the Type I case, we can fulfill the reality condition by considering the terms corresponding to and and imposing , and the conditions of the definition of the class are hence satisfied. Moreover, we can verify that these terms fulfill the conditions associated with the subclass . In the case when , we have and . Moreover, in the case , we can set for and for and check that the relations (67) and (68) are satisfied for .
In this case is necessarily greater than and , so that is easily proved.
To prove , we observe that the functions and distribute the indices and to some indices in and respectively that are always lower than the third ones. Hence we have four free indices, and two new derivatives to distribute coming from the presence of the new term . We can distinguish two cases:
- •
. In this situation, we use saying that . Hence as , we can construct from and and by making correspond to the third and fourth largest indices amongst and .
- •
. We still have by that . Moreover by zero momentum condition, we have and we are back the the previous case.
Type III.** Now we consider terms where one appears in the Poisson bracket. They are of the form**
[TABLE]
Let us set , and as before. To compute the Poisson bracket there two case to examine.
- •
First, if then
[TABLE]
where, in view of the form (see (37)) , is a polynomial of degree with real coefficients. Up to a combinatorial factor, linear combinations and renumbering we can define the application satisfying the reality condition, and we can set , , and . The conditions of the definition of the class are hence satisfied. Moreover, we can set for , for and check that the relations (67) and (68) are satisfied for . Moreover, is satisfied as and , and is also satisfied as there is no new derivative to distribute.
- •
If one of the index of is conjugate of one of the index of , then we get
[TABLE]
where is a polynomial of degree with real coefficients. We thus treat the second term as previously. To treat the first term, we use the same analysis than the one in type II with , . The only difference is that we set for and for but the distribution of derivatives is achieved in a similar way.
Type IV.** Finally we consider terms where one appears in the Poisson bracket. They are of the form**
[TABLE]
It is almost the same as type III except that to deal with the first term in the right-hand side of (114) we count one in the denominator as with and the other is counted as with . The analysis is then the same as in Type II for the distribution of derivatives.
