A simple proof for a C∞ Nekhoroshev theorem
Abstract
We prove a C∞ version of the Nekhoroshev's estimate on the stability times of the actions in close to integrable Hamiltonian systems. The proof we give is a variant of the original Nekhoroshev's proof and it consists in first conjugating, globally in the phase space, and up to a small remainder, the system to a normal form. Then we perform the geometric part of the proof in the normalized variables. As a result, we obtain a proof which is simpler than the usual ones.
