Generic transitivity for couples of Hamiltonians

Abstract

We study orbits and reachable sets of generic couples of Hamiltonians $H_1, H_2$ on a symplectic manifold $N$. We prove that, $C^k$-generically for $k$ large enough, orbits coincide with the whole of $N$, and that the same is true for reachable sets when $N$ is compact. Our results are stated in terms of a strong form of genericity which makes use of the notion of rectifiable subsets of positive codimension in Banach or Frechet spaces.
