Abstract

We introduce a renormalization group scheme that applies to vector fields on 𝕋d×ℝm with frequency vectors that satisfy a Brjuno condition. Earlier approaches were restricted to Diophantine frequencies, owing to a limited control of multidimensional continued fractions. We get around this restriction by avoiding the use of a continued-fractions expansion. Our results concerning invariant tori generalize those of [H. Koch and S. Kocić, Renormalization of vector fields and Diophantine invariant tori. Ergod. Th. & Dynam. Sys.28 (2008), 1559–1585] from Diophantine- to Brjuno-type frequency vectors. In particular, each Brjuno 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.
