Consider a Hamiltonian system with three degrees of freedom that is a
perturbation of integrable one with a homoclinic orbit to a
elliptic-hyperbolic equilibrium. I will discuss conditions when
this
perturbed system has homoclinic orbits to invariant tori in the center
manifold of the equilibrium. It is proved that the number of such
orbits can range generically from 4 to 16 depending upon the
perturbation.
