The Intersection Angles between N-Dimensional Stable and Unstable Manifolds in 2N-Dimensional Symplectic Mappings

Abstract

We asymptotically compute the intersection angles between N-dimensional stable and unstable manifolds in 2N-dimensional symplectic mappings. There exist particular 1-dimensional stable and unstable sub-manifolds which experience exponentially small splitting of separatrix in our models. We show that the angle between the sub-manifolds is exponentially small with respect to the perturbation parameter $\epsilon$, and the other angles are $O(\epsilon^2)$.
