"Arnold Diffusion via Invariant Cylinders and Mather Variational Method "
(joint with P. Bernard, K. Zhang)

The famous ergodic hypothesis claims that a typical Hamiltonian
dynamics on a typical energy surface is ergodic. However, KAM theory
disproves this. It establishes a persistent set of positive measure of
invariant KAM tori. The (weaker) quasi-ergodichypothesis, proposed by
Ehrenfest and Birkhoff, says that a typical Hamiltonian dynamics on a
typical energy surface has a dense orbit. This question is wide open.
In early 60th Arnold constructed an example of instabilities for a
nearly integrable Hamiltonian of dimension n>2 and conjectured that
this is a generic phenomenon, nowadays, called Arnold diffusion. In
the last two decades a variety of powerful techniques to attack this
problem were developed. In particular, Mather discovered a large class
of invariant sets and a delicatevariational technique to shadow them.
In two preprints: one joint with P. Bernard, K. Zhang and another with
K. Zhang we prove Arnold's conjecture in dimension n=3.
