Litvak-Hinenzon et al. developed the phenomenological model to simulate the horizontal motion of particles in the atmosphere, and a series of their papers (see e.g., Litvak-Hinenzon et al. (Phys. D 164:213-250, 2002; Nonlinearity 15:1149-1177, 2002; SIAM J. Appl. Dyn. Syst. 3:525-573, 2004)) focused on studying the fate of parabolic resonance lower dimensional tori (as part of a quasi-periodic Hamiltonian pitchfork bifurcation (HPB) scenario in the unperturbed phenomenological model) under perturbations. However, the structural stability of quasi-periodic HPB involved therein has not been fully exposed theoretically (Litvak-Hinenzon et al. have only given some numerical explanations). Based on BCKV singularity theory established by Broer et al. (Z. Angew. Math. Phys. 44:389-432, 1993), we consider a more general quasi-periodic HPB triggered by the Z 2 -invariant universal unfolding N b c k v = a y 2 2 − (λ + b I 1) x 2 2 + c x 4 4 with respect to Z 2 -equivariant BCKV-restricted morphisms of the planar singularity a 2 y 2 + c 4 x 4 (the coefficients a , b , c ≠ 0 , the I 1 is regarded as distinguished parameter with respect to the external parameter λ). We prove a KAM (Kolmogorov–Arnold–Moser) theorem concerning parabolic tori in such quasi-periodic HPB, by which Diophantine parabolic tori (and the whole corresponding Diophantine HPB scenario) survive non-integrable and Z 2 -invariant Hamiltonian perturbations, parametrized by pertinent large Cantor sets. In the context of Z 2 -symmetry, our results can be seen as rigorous proof of the structural stability problem of bifurcations of Floquet-tori triggered by the universal unfolding N b c k v with distinguished parameters which is proposed by Broer et al. (Z. Angew. Math. Phys. 44:389-432, 1993). Ultimately, we similarly obtain the structural stability result of quasi-periodic HPB in the phenomenological model mentioned above, which can be utilized as a starting point for a deeper understanding of the various resonances and chaotic dynamics (in the gaps of the Cantor sets), just as Litvak-Hinenzon et al. did for normally parabolic tori undergoing a HPB. • We prove a KAM theorem in a quasi-periodic Hamiltonian pitchfork bifurcation. • We obtain the structural stability of a bifurcation in a phenomenological model. • We verify some of the previous numerical phenomena of Litvak-Hinenzon et al.
