Systems with many frequencies and Diophantine approximations

We discuss the recurrence properties of trajectories of certain dynamical systems with many frequencies.

Let $f : \mathbb{T}^n \to \mathbb{R}$ be a smooth function with zero mean value. Then we prove that for any set of linearly independent over $\mathbb{Z}$ frequencies $\omega =(\omega_1.,,,\omega_n)$ the integral
$$ \int_0^T f(\omega t+\varphi )dt $$
has the recurrence property and this property holds not uniformly in initial phase $\varphi$.

By means of such integral one can express the solutions of some degenerate Hamiltonian systems. Also there are applications to the equations of the kind
$$ dX/dt = A(t) X,\,\,\, X \in {\rm SO}(n),\,\,\, A\subset {\rm so}(n), $$
where A(t) is an almost periodic or conditionally periodic function.

The results obtained depend on Diophantine properties of frequencies and we find out some new phenomena in general theory of Diophantine approximations.
