Polynomial Entropies for Bott Integrable Hamiltonian Systems

In this paper, we study the entropy of a Hamiltonian flow in restriction to an energy level where it admits a first integral which is nondegenerate in the sense of Bott. It is easy to see that for such a flow, the topological entropy vanishes. We focus on the polynomial and the weak polynomial entropies $h_{pol}$ and $h^*_{pol}$. We show that, under natural conditions on the critical levels of the Bott first integral and on the Hamiltonian function $H, h^*_{pol} \in {0,1}$ and $h_{pol} \in {0,1,2}$. To prove this result, our main tool is a semi-global desingularization of the Hamiltonian system in the neighborhood of a polycycle.
