Invariant manifolds of dynamical systems close to a rotation: Transverse to the rotation axis

AbstractWe consider one parameter families of vector fields depending on a parameter ɛ such that for ɛ=0 the system becomes a rotation of R2×Rn around {0}×Rn and such that for ɛ>0 the origin is a hyperbolic singular point of saddle type with, say, attraction in the rotation plane and expansion in the complementary space. We look for a local subcenter invariant manifold extending the stable manifolds to ɛ=0. Afterwards the analogous case for maps is considered. In contrast with the previous case the arithmetic properties of the angle of rotation play an important role
