Abstract
We give a new proof of the KAM theorem for analytic Hamiltonians, The proof is inspired by a quantum field theory formulation of the problem and is ba sed on a renormalization group argument treating the small denominators ind uctively scale by scale. The crucial cancellations of resonances are shown to follow from the Ward identities expressing the translation invariance of the corresponding field theory.
