Guido Gentile, Vieri Mastropietro A POSSIBLE MECHANISM FOR THE KAM TORI BREAKDOWN (23K, LaTex) ABSTRACT. Inspired by the quantum field theory, a resummation is performed in the Lindstedt series defining the KAM tori, and a possible mechanism for universality of the tori breakdown is discussed. This work is mostly based on a joint paper with G. Gallavotti.
