We prove that, for $C^1$-generic diffeomorphisms, if the periodic orbits contained in a homoclinic class $H(p)$ have all their Lyapunov exponents bounded away from 0, then $H(p)$ must be (uniformly) hyperbolic. This is in sprit of the works…

We explore how to extract effective dynamics from loop quantum gravity and spinfoams truncated to a finite fixed graph, with the hope of modeling symmetry-reduced gravitational systems. We particularize our study to the 2-vertex graph with…

This article is devoted to the study of a $2$-dimensional piecewise smooth (but possibly) discontinuous dynamical system, subject to a non-autonomous perturbation; we assume that the unperturbed system admits a homoclinic trajectory…

We present a topological method for the efficient computer assisted verification of the existence of the homoclinic tangency which unfolds generically in a one-parameter family of planar maps. The method has been applied to the Henon map…

Conditions are provided under which lack of domination of a homoclinic class yields robust heterodimensional cycles. Moreover, so-called viral homoclinic classes are studied. Viral classes have the property of generating copies of…

Discrete models have a long tradition in engineering, including finite state machines, Boolean networks, Petri nets, and agent-based models. Of particular importance is the question of how the model structure constrains its dynamics. This…

We discuss dynamics of skew product maps defined by circle diffeomorphisms forced by expanding circle maps. We construct an open class of such systems that are robust topologically mixing and for which almost all points in the same fiber…

In a non-compact context the first natural step in the search for periodic orbits of a hamiltonian flow is to detect bounded ones. In this paper we show that, in a non-compact setting, certain algebraic topological constraints imposed to a…

Area-preserving diffeomorphisms of a 2-disc can be regarded as time-1 maps of (non-autonomous) Hamiltonian flows on solid tori, periodic flow-lines of which define braid (conjugacy) classes, up to full twists. We examine the dynamics…

In this paper we consider finite-dimensional constrained Hamiltonian systems of polynomial type. In order to compute the complete set of constraints and separate them into the first and second classes we apply the modern algorithmic methods…

Differential geometric structures such as the principal bundle for the canonical vector bundle on a complex Grassmann manifold, the canonical connection form on this bundle, the canonical symplectic form on a complex Grassmann manifold and…

A basic problem in complex dynamics is to understand orbits of holomorphic maps. One problem is to understand the collection of points $S$ in an attracting basin whose forward orbits land exactly on the attracting fixed point. In the paper…

Let f:E -> E be a homeomorphism of the plane E. We define open sets P, called {\em pruning fronts} after the work of Cvitanovi\'c, for which it is possible to construct an isotopy H: E x [0,1] -> E with open support contained in the union…

This paper investigates the dynamics of a particle orbiting around a rotating homogeneous cube, and shows fruitful results that have implications for examining the dynamics of orbits around non-spherical celestial bodies. This study can be…

We present a general mechanism to establish the existence of diffusing orbits in a large class of nearly integrable Hamiltonian systems. Our approach relies on successive applications of the `outer dynamics' along homoclinic orbits to a…

We derive an approximate theory for Heisenberg spin ladders with two legs by mapping the spin dynamics onto the problem of hard-core `bond-Bosons'. The parameters of the Bosonic Hamiltonian are obtained by matching anomalous Green's…

Chaotic dynamics can be effectively studied by continuation from an anti-integrable limit. Using the Henon map as an example, we obtain a simple analytical bound on the domain of existence of the horseshoe that is equivalent to the…

The existence and bifurcation of homoclinic orbits in planar piecewise linear homogeneous systems with two regions separated by a discontinuity boundary are investigated in this paper. In addition, existence of periodic orbits and stability…

The snake charmer algorithm permits us to deform a piecewise smooth curve starting from the origin in R^d, so that its end follows a given path. When this path is a loop, a holonomy phenomenon occurs. We prove that the holonomy orbits are…

In the context of symplectic dynamics, pseudo-rotations are Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms with finite and minimal possible number of periodic orbits. These maps are of interest in both dynamics and symplectic topology. We show that a closed,…
