abstract: Ground states satisfying conditions for orbital stability by Weinstein are proved asymptotically stable for generic equations with smooth nonlinearity, solving old problem, Soffer & Weinstein 80's. For Fermi Golden rule we implement a Birkhoff normal form argument, as in solution by Bambusi & Cuccagna of problem (initiated in Soffer & Weinstein 1999) on asymptotic stability of the 0 solution for nonlinear Klein Gordon equation. Since is not 0 but orbits of ground states, we implement Darboux Theorem, with care to save semilinear nature of hamiltonian.
