Constancy of the leading coefficient on Kepler energy leaves #
The coordinate change (L,E) ↦ (L,-1/(2L²)-E) straightens the level sets of the rotating
Kepler Hamiltonian. The dense-resonance obstruction says exactly that the derivative of the
leading coefficient in the L direction at fixed E vanishes. The mean-value inequality then
makes that coefficient constant on every connected energy-leaf segment contained in the
interior elliptic region.
The straightened leaf really has the prescribed Delaunay energy.
Tangent vector to a straightened Kepler energy leaf.
The wedge obstruction is precisely vanishing of the candidate differential along a fixed-energy tangent.
Under density of the classical Poincaré set, the leading coefficient has zero derivative in
the L direction while its Kepler energy is held fixed.
The leading coefficient is constant between two actions on the same Kepler energy leaf, provided the whole intervening leaf segment stays in the interior collision-free elliptic chart.

Instances For
The explicit fixed-L energy section is analytic.
The energy representative is analytic wherever its reference section remains in the interior elliptic chart.
On any connected energy-leaf segment inside the chart, the leading action coefficient is the analytic one-variable energy representative based at the other endpoint. This is the local functional-dependence statement used in Poincaré's coefficient normalization.
