Action-angle Variables for Generic 1D Mechanical Systems

We consider a 1D mechanical system $\bar {\mathtt H}(\mathtt P,\mathtt Q)=\mathtt P^2+\bar {\mathtt G}(\mathtt Q)$ in action-angle variable $(\mathtt P,\mathtt Q)$ where $\bar {\mathtt G}$ is a $2π$-periodic analytic function with non degenerate critical points. Then, we consider a small analytic perturbation of $\bar {\mathtt H}$ of the form ${\mathtt H}^*(\mathtt P,\mathtt Q;\hat{\mathtt P}) = \mathtt P^2+\bar {\mathtt G}(\mathtt Q)+ η{\mathtt F} (\mathtt P,\mathtt Q;\hat{\mathtt P})=:\mathtt P^2 + {\mathtt G}^*(\mathtt P,\mathtt Q;\hat{\mathtt P})\,, \qquad η\ll 1\ ,$ where the perturbed potential ${\mathtt G}^*$ may depend on the action $\mathtt P$ and also on parameters $\hat{\mathtt P}$ ("the adiabatic actions"); indeed, this is the form of a finite dimensional mechanical system close to an exact simple resonance after averaging over fast angles and disregarding the exponentially small remainder, see [5]. Up to a finite number of separatrices and elliptic/hyperbolic points the phase space of ${\mathtt H}^*$ is divided into a finite number of open connected components foliated by invariant circles. On every connected component we perform a (Arnold-Liouville) symplectic action-angle transformation which integrates the system. We give a complete and quantitative description of the analyticity properties of such integrating transformations, estimating, in particular, how such transformations differ from the integrating transformation for $\bar {\mathtt H}$; compare Theorem 6.1 below.
