In this paper we report numerical simulations of the
dynamical evolution of the region 
AU. We found that some dynamical
effects such as high-order secular resonances with the rate of
precession of Neptune's node of the form 
with 
or combined mean motion resonances with Uranus and Neptune
of the form 
may increase the area of
a very thin primordial disk in this region by a factor of up to 2 after
4.5 Gy of evolution.
Key words: Kuiper Belt / comets: general / solar system: general
