I. INTRODUCTION
Problems in many branches of physics can be reduced to the study of two-dimensional measurepreserving mappings. A most pictorial example is the
behavior of magnetic field lines in a toroidal system. 1
A mapping of a cross section of the toroid onto itself
is formed by following magnetic lines of force around
the system from one intersection with the cross
section to the next. The possible containment of a line
of force within a given region for many traversals
around the system can be deduced from the behavior
of iterates of the corresponding two-dimensional
mapping. The magnetic flux through each neighborhood is conserved by this mapping, so it is measure
preserving.
A more typical example is a particle in a twodimensional potential. 2-4 Conservation of energy
restricts the motion to a three-dimensional hypersurface in the four-dimensional phase space. Any
phase variable whose value recurs in the course of the
motion can be used to define a two-dimensional cross
section. Dynamical orbits are used to define a mapping
of this surface onto itself, analogous to that described
in the example above. Poincare's invariant5 shows that
area, defined in canonical coordinates, is conserved
by this mapping.
The restricted three-body problem of celestial
mechanics can also be reduced to such a mapping. 6 7
It is most interesting to know whether these twodimensional measure-preserving mappings are ergodic
or not. This means determining whether or not sucL. Spitzer, Jr., Phys. Fluids 1, 253 (1958).

The matrix representing the linearized mapping in the

which is somewhat more convenient than the classical
ellipticity. When E = 1 the constant-1p surfaces are
circles, E> 0 corresponds to a set of ellipses, E = 0
to a set of parallel lines, and E < 0 to hyperbolas.
Fixed points will be called elliptic or hyperbolic,
depending on the sign of E. When the denominator of
Eq. (12) vanishes, b = c = d = 0, a = l. This will
be called the degenerate case.
Another parameter describes the orientation of the
quadratic form. Under a rotation of coordinates, a
and b, and hence c2 + d 2 , are constant, but c and d
vary as the sine and cosine of twice the angle. Thus we
define
eM == t tan-1 (cld).
(13)
The sign of b is necessary to reconstruct M from the
full set of parameters. It also affects the orientation of
the quadratic form.
The remaining important characteristic of the
matrix M is the displacement of a point aiong an
invariant curve. This can be deduced from a quantity
that will be called the residue of the fixed point,
defined by
R == t - i Tr (M),
(14)
= t(1 - a).
The interpretation of the residue depends on whether
the fixed point is elliptic or hyperbolic. Indeed, the
