On a conjecture of Marmi, Moussa, and Yoccoz on the sizes of
Siegel disks
Abstract:
Quasi-periodic dynamics in one complex variable reveal
fascinating interplays between
complex analysis and Diophantine approximations. The question of whether
a quasi-periodic
dynamic is conjugate to an irrational rotation dates back to more than a
century ago,
with remarkable contributions by C. Siegel, A. Brjuno, and J.-C. Yoccoz.
The maximal domain on which a conjugacy exists is called the Siegel disk
of the map, and it is known
that the size of the Siegel disk is given by an arithmetic function of
the rotation, up to an error function.
In 1992, Marmi, Moussa, and Yoccoz conjectured that the error function
is 1/2-holder continuous.
In this talk, I will discuss a major advance on this conjecture, using a
renormalization operator
acting on an infinite dimensional space of maps. This is based on a
joint work with Arnaud Cheritat (Toulouse).
