Abstract

We extend the renormalization group techniques that were developed originally for Hamiltonian flows to more general vector fields on 𝕋d×ℝℓ. Each Diophantine vector ω∈ℝd determines an analytic manifold 𝒲 of infinitely renormalizable vector fields, and each vector field on 𝒲 is shown to have an elliptic invariant d-torus with frequencies ω1,ω2,…,ωd. Analogous manifolds for particular classes of vector fields (Hamiltonian, divergence-free, symmetric, reversible) are obtained simply by restricting 𝒲 to the corresponding subspace. We also discuss non-degeneracy conditions, and the resulting reduction in the number of parameters needed in parametrized families to guarantee the existence of invariant tori.
