We introduce a new coupled map lattice model in which the weak interaction takes place via rare "collisions". By "collision" we mean a strong (possibly discontinuous) change in the system. For such models we prove uniqueness of the SRB…

In this paper, we establish a coupling lemma for standard families in the setting of piecewise expanding interval maps with countably many branches. Our method merely requires that the expanding map satisfies Chernov's one-step expansion at…
We study a family of diffusively coupled chaotic maps on periodic d-dimensional square lattices. Even and odd sub-lattices are updated alternately, introducing an effective delay. As the coupling strength is increased, the system undergoes…
We consider a lattice of weakly coupled expanding circle maps. We construct, via a cluster expansion of the Perron-Frobenius operator, an invariant measure for these infinite dimensional dynamical systems which exhibits space-time-chaos.
A $\theta$ term, which couples to topological charge, is added to the lattice $CP^{N-1}$ model. The strong-coupling character expansion is developed. The series for the free energy and mass gap are respectively computed to tenth order and…
