Morbidelli A., Giorgilli A. Superexponential stability of KAM tori (47K, TeX) ABSTRACT. We study the dynamics in the neighbourhood of an invariant torus of a nearly integrable system. We provide an upper bound to the diffusion speed, which turns out to be of superexponentially small size $\exp(\exp(-1/\rho))$, $\rho$ being the distance from the invariant torus. We also discuss the connection of this result with the existence of many invariant tori close to the considered one.
