I will present a KAM theorem on the existence of codimension-one
invariant tori with Diophantine rotation vector for volume-preserving
maps. This is an a posteriori result, stating that if there exists an
approximately invariant torus that satisfies some non-degeneracy
conditions, then there is a true invariant torus near the approximate
one. Thus, the theorem can be applied to systems that are not close to
integrable. The method of proof provides an efficient algorithm for
numerically computing the invariant tori which has been implemented by A. Fox and J. Meiss. This is joint work with Rafael
de la Llave.
