We study two particular continuous prenormal forms as defined by Jean Ecalle and Bruno Vallet for local analytic diffeomorphism: the Trimmed form and the Poincare-Dulac normal form. We first give a self-contain introduction to the mould formalism of Jean Ecalle. We provide a dictionary between moulds and the classical Lie algebraic formalism using non-commutative formal power series. We then give full proofs and details for results announced by J. Ecalle and B. Vallet about the Trimmed form of diffeomorphisms. We then discuss a mould approach to the classical Poincare-Dulac normal form of diffeomorphisms. We discuss the universal character of moulds taking place in normalization problems.

This paper is an introduction to mould calculus as introduced by Jean Ecalle. We give a precise definition of moulds and describe there main properties. We translate mould symmetries (alterna(e)l and symetra(e)l) using non commutative formal power series in two given bialgebras. We apply this formalism to the problem of normal forms for vector fields and diffeomrophisms.

We establish Ecalle's mould calculus in an abstract Lie-theoretic setting and use it to solve a normalization problem, which covers several formal normal form problems in the theory of dynamical systems. The mould formalism allows us to reduce the Lie-theoretic problem to a mould equation, the solutions of which are remarkably explicit and can be fully described by means of a gauge transformation group. The dynamical applications include the construction of Poincar{\'e}-Dulac...

We present the general framework of \'Ecalle's moulds in the case of linearization of a formal vector field without and within resonances. We enlighten the power of moulds by their universality, and calculability. We modify then \'Ecalle's technique to fit in the seek of a formal normal form of a Hamiltonian vector field in cartesian coordinates. We prove that mould calculus can also produce successive canonical transformations to bring a Hamiltonian vector field into a norma...

This article proposes an initiation to \'Ecalle's mould calculus, a powerful combinatorial tool which yields surprisingly explicit formulas for the normalising series attached to an analytic germ of singular vector field. This is illustrated on the case of saddle-node singularities, generated by two-dimensional vector fields which are formally conjugate to Euler's vector field $x^2\frac{\pa}{\pa x}+(x+y)\frac{\pa}{\pa y}$, and for which the formal normalisation proves to be r...

This article is an introduction to some aspects of \'Ecalle's mould calculus, a powerful combinatorial tool which yields surprisingly explicit formulas for the normalising series attached to an analytic germ of singular vector field or of map. This is illustrated on the case of the saddle-node, a two-dimensional vector field which is formally conjugate to Euler's vector field $x^2\frac{\pa}{\pa x}+(x+y)\frac{\pa}{\pa y}$, and for which the formal normalisation is shown to be ...

We briefly review the main aspects of (Poincar\'e-Dulac) normal forms; we have a look at the non-uniqueness problem, and discuss one of the proposed ways to ``further reduce'' the normal forms. We also mention some convergence results.

In this paper, we consider the normal form problem of a commutative family of germs of diffeomorphisms at a fixed point, say the origin, of $\mathbb{K}^n$ ($\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{C}$ or $\mathbb{R}$). We define a notion of integrability of such a family. We give sufficient conditions which ensure that such an integrable family can be transformed into a normal form by an analytic (resp. a smooth) transformation if the initial diffeomorphisms are analytic (resp. smooth).

We study a perturbative scheme for normalization problems involving resonances of the unperturbed situation, and therefore the necessity of a non-trivial normal form, in the general framework of Banach scale Lie algebras (this notion is defined in the article). This situation covers the case of classical and quantum normal forms in a unified way which allows a direct comparison. In particular we prove a precise estimate for the difference between quantum and classical normal ...

We show that, to find a Poincare-Dulac normalization for a vector field is the same as to find and linearize a torus action which preserves the vector field. Using this toric characterization and other geometrical arguments, we prove that any local analytic vector field which is integrable in the non-Hamiltonian sense admits a local convergent Poincare-Dulac normalization. These results generalize the main results of our previous paper from the Hamiltonian case to the non-Ham...

We discuss several aspects of the geometry of vector fields in (Poincare'-Dulac) normal form. Our discussion relies substantially on Michel theory and aims at a constructive approach to simplify the analysis of normal forms via a splitting based on the action of certain groups. The case, common in Physics, of systems enjoying an a priori symmetry is also discussed in some detail.
