Abstract

We construct an example of a Hamiltonian flow $f^t$ on a four-dimensional smooth manifold $\mathcal {M}$ which after being restricted to an energy surface $\mathcal {M}_e$ demonstrates essential coexistence of regular and chaotic dynamics, that is, there is an open and dense $f^t$ -invariant subset $U\subset \mathcal {M}_e$ such that the restriction $f^t|U$ has non-zero Lyapunov exponents in all directions (except for the direction of the flow) and is a Bernoulli flow while, on the boundary $\partial U$ , which has positive volume, all Lyapunov exponents of the system are zero.
