Arnold difusion in a priori chaotic systems
Consider an analytic Hamiltonian system which has a chaoric
behaviour (a horseshoe) in every energy level from a certain
interval [a,b]. We show that a generic real-analytic time-periodic
small perturbation of the Hamiltonian creates orbits for which
the energy grows from a to b. This is a joint work with Gelfreich.

Multifractal analysis and thermodynamics
Within a topological dynamical system, we study sets of trajectories
characterised by their asymptotic behaviour. Such sets form
a multifractal decomposition and are typically studied using
either thermodynamic techniques (relying on the existence of
continuously varying equilibrium states for certain potential
functions) or saturation techniques (relying on some version
of the specification property).
In the literature, saturation has been successfully used
for a more general class of decompositions than thermodynamics.
Each approach gives certain results that the other does not.
I will describe the results obtained using each approach and
present a new application of the thermodynamic approach, based
on an idea of Hofbauer, that extends it to the same generality
as the saturation approach.

The classical KAM theorem

A geometric mechanism of diffusion: Rigorous verification
in a priori unstable Hamiltonian systems
Abstract:
We consider a representative a priori unstable Hamiltonian
system with 2+1/2 degrees of freedom, to which we apply the
geometric mechanism for diffusion, and provide explicit, concrete
and easily verifiable conditions for the existence of diffusing
orbits. The simplification of the hypotheses allows us to
perform explicitly the computations along the proof, which
contribute to present in an easily understandable way the
geometric mechanism of diffusion. In particular, we fully
describe the construction of the scattering map and the combination
of two types of dynamics on a normally hyperbolic invariant
manifold.
Joint work with Gemma Huguet (Center for Neural Science).
