Abstract

We consider analytic Hamiltonian systems with two degrees of freedom, and prove that every Hamiltonian on the strong local stable manifold of the renormalization group fixed point obtained in Koch [A renormalization group fixed point associated with the breakup of golden invariant tori. Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst. A 11 (2004), 881–909] has a non-differentiable golden invariant torus (conjugacy to a linear flow).
