Arnold's instability conjecture for generic elliptic equilibria
Arnold's instability conjecture for generic elliptic equilibria
Let be an analytic Hamiltonian system with an elliptic equilibrium point, having degrees of freedom. Assume that and that the quadratic part of the Hamiltonian at the equilibrium is not sign-definite. Arnold's conjecture. An elliptic equilibrium point of a generic analytic Hamiltonian system is Lyapounov unstable. The conjecture is wide open: under the standing real-analytic and non-resonance assumptions, no example is known, although examples exist in resonant or smooth non-analytic settings.
