For a better understanding of the chaotic behavior of systems of many moving particles it is useful to look at other systems with many degrees of freedom. An interesting example is the high-dimensional Lorentz gas, which, just like a system…

We consider the spectrum of the Laplace operator acting on $\mathcal{L}^p$ over a conformally compact manifold for $1 \leq p \leq \infty$. We prove that for $p \neq 2$ this spectrum always contains an open region of the complex plane. We…

We introduce a ``spatial'' Lyapunov exponent to characterize the complex behavior of non chaotic but convectively unstable flow systems. This complexity is of spatial type and is due to sensitivity to the boundary conditions. We show that…

Let $f$ be a non-invertible irreducible Anosov map on $d$-torus. We show that if the stable bundle of $f$ is one-dimensional, then $f$ has the integrable unstable bundle, if and only if, every periodic point of $f$ admits the same Lyapunov…

The structure of Lyapunov spectra for many particle systems with a random interaction between the particles is discussed. The dynamics of the tangent space is expressed as a master equation, which leads to a formula that connects the…
The computation of the entire Lyapunov spectrum for extended dynamical systems is a very time consuming task. If the system is in a chaotic spatio-temporal regime it is possible to approximately reconstruct the Lyapunov spectrum from the…
Let f be a rational self-map of P^2 which leaves invariant an elliptic curve C with strictly negative transverse Lyapunov exponent. We show that C is an attractor, i.e. it possesses a dense orbit and its basin is of strictly positive…
We consider a three-dimensional chaotic system consisting of the suspension of Arnold's cat map coupled with a clock via a weak dissipative interaction. We show that the coupled system displays a synchronization phenomenon, in the sense…

If a tuple of matrices has a common invariant subspace, its projective joint spectrum has an algebraic component. In general, the converse is not true, and there might be algebraic components in the projective joint spectrum without…
This paper is concerned with the Lyapunov spectrum for measurable cocycles over an ergodic pmp system taking values in semi-simple real Lie groups. We prove simplicity of the Lyapunov spectrum and its continuity under certain perturbations…
