The masterly application was offered by V.I.Arnold in the 60s who worked out a theorem, that he named the \"Fundamental Theorem\", especially designed for the planetary problem. This is the problem of 1+n point masses, one \"sun\" and n \"planets\", undergoing gravitational attraction. However, Arnold's Fundamental Theorem could be really used at that purpose only when, about 50 years later, the \"right\" canonical set was discovered. In these lectures I shall talk about the complex interplay between perturbation theories and canonical coordinates in problems of celestial mechanics.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-09-15T17:00:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "34C20", "70F10", "37J10", "37J15", "37J40", "34D10", "70F07", "70F15", "37J25", "37J35" ], "keywords": [ "celestial mechanics", "perturbation theory", "canonical coordinates", "kam theory owes", "arnolds fundamental theorem" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 48, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
