Invariant curves of analytic perturbed nontwist area preserving maps

Area preserving maps close to integrable but not satisfying the twist condition are studied. The existence of invariant curves is proved, but they are no longer graphs with respect to the angular variable. Beyond the generic, codimension 1 case, several higher codimension cases are studied. Meandering curves, higher order meandering and labyrinthic curves show up. Several examples illustrate that this behavior occurs in very simple families of maps.
