On hyperbolicity in the renormalization of near-critical area-preserving maps
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider MacKay’s renormalization operator for pairs of area-preserving maps, near the fixed point obtained in [17]. Of particular interest is the restriction R0 of this operator to pairs that commute and have a zero Calabi invariant. We prove that a suitable extension of R 0 is hyperbolic at the fixed point, with a single expanding direction. The pairs in this direction are presumably commuting, but we currently have no proof for this. Our analysis yields rigorous bounds on various “universal” quantities, including the expanding eigenvalue.

The critical renormalization fixed point for commuting pairs of area-preserving maps
We prove the existence of the critical fixed point (F,G) for MacKay’s renormalization operator for pairs of maps of the plane. The maps F and G commute, are area-preserving, reversible, real analytic, and they satisfy a twist condition.
متن کاملExtension of "Renormalization of period doubling in symmetric four-dimensional volume-preserving maps"
We numerically reexamine the scaling behavior of period doublings in fourdimensional volume-preserving maps in order to resolve a discrepancy between numerical results on scaling of the coupling parameter and the approximate renormalization results reported by Mao and Greene [Phys. Rev. A 35, 3911 (1987)]. In order to see the fine structure of period doublings, we extend the simple one-term sca...
متن کاملRenormalization and Transition to Chaos in Area Preserving Nontwist Maps
The problem of transition to chaos, i.e. the destruction of invariant circles or KAM (Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser) curves, in area preserving nontwist maps is studied within the renormalization group framework. Nontwist maps are maps for which the twist condition is violated along a curve known as the shearless curve. In renormalization language this problem is that of nding and studying the xed po...
متن کاملHyperbolicity of Renormalization of Critical Circle Maps
The renormalization theory of critical circle maps was developed in the late 1970’s–early 1980’s to explain the occurence of certain universality phenomena. These phenomena can be observed empirically in smooth families of circle homeomorphisms with one critical point, the so-called critical circle maps, and are analogous to Feigenbaum universality in the dynamics of unimodal maps. In the works...
متن کاملOn a new fixed point of the renormalization group operator for area-preserving maps
The breakup of the shearless invariant torus with winding number ω = √ 2 − 1 is studied numerically using Greene’s residue criterion in the standard nontwist map. The residue behavior and parameter scaling at the breakup suggests the existence of a new fixed point of the renormalization group operator (RGO) for area-preserving maps. The unstable eigenvalues of the RGO at this fixed point and th...
