Fix a smaller angular strip and a momentum ball ; the canonical transformation will be defined there and map into the original domain for small . This domain restriction is natural for a near-identity change of coordinates with a nonzero momentum shift.
First solve the scalar cohomological equation on a Diophantine torusThe preceding result gives a real-analytic periodic on every smaller strip. We need a near-identity angular diffeomorphism and a constant vector such thatHere is a complete analytic construction of this translated conjugacy of a Diophantine vector field.
Write and, for a current approximation, putAssume is close to the identity. For a correction , the linearized defect isThe identity follows by differentiating the definition of , so the term already contains the current error. ChooseThe matrix average is invertible near the identity, and the right-hand side has zero mean. The preceding torus small-divisor estimate therefore solves this vector equation componentwise. Update , . The exact new error isIt is quadratic in the current defect.
For convergence, reserve a fixed outer strip on which is analytic and work on shrinking inner strips whose total loss is less than half the starting width. Let and choose loss parameters with small enough that the fixed multiples of these losses used at each stage fit in the reserved total width. The torus small-divisor estimate and Cauchy estimates give, with constants uniform while stays close to the identity and remains in the reserved strip,andIndeed, the first remainder is bounded using , and the second using the uniformly bounded second derivatives of on the reserved strip. Taking a slightly larger exponent covers all these losses. Start with and , so . If a small constant satisfies and , induction gives . The estimates on and are summable. Choosing still smaller keeps the derivatives close to the identity and the images inside the reserved strip, closing the induction. The real periodic analytic limits solve the conjugacy equation. Since , the very first constant correction is zero; the first new defect is , and the remaining summed constant corrections are . Also the summed change of is . This proves the claimed estimates as well as existence, without leaving an unsolved linear remainder.
Now set and define the symplectic cotangent lift with a closed momentum shiftThe cotangent lift of a diffeomorphism is symplectic. Translation by is also symplectic because the one-form is closed. The constant term need not be exact on the flat torus; closedness is sufficient. Thus their composition is the required near-identity canonical transformation.
Expanding the quadratic kinetic term gives a transformed linear coefficient , which is exactly by the conjugacy equation. The constant-in- part issince . Consequently defineand, for ,In the exact identities, squared Euclidean norms mean the real polynomial , continued bilinearly on complex strips, without complex conjugation. The latter is uniformly bounded and analytic on the retained strip because . At use the identity map, , and . We have the exact requested normal formHere , is genuinely homogeneous quadratic in , and its coefficient matrix differs from the identity by . Thus . The remainder depends only on the angular coordinate. If the printed final uses the old angle , the same term is evaluated at ; this is just the corresponding coordinate convention.
