This paper is a review of results which have been recently obtained by applying mathematical concepts drawn, in particular, from differential geometry and topology, to the physics of Hamiltonian dynamical systems with many degrees of…

Current planet formation theories rely on initially compact orbital configurations undergoing a (possibly extended) phase of giant impacts following the dispersal of the dissipative protoplanetary disk. The orbital architectures of observed…

Fracton topological order hosts fractionalized point-like excitations (e.g., fractons) that have restricted mobility. In this article, we explore even more bizarre realization of fracton phases that admit spatially extended excitations with…

A \emph{fractal} is an object exhibiting complexity at arbitrarily small scales. In order to study and characterise fractals, one is often interested in quantifying how they fill up space on small scales. This gives rise to various notions…

It is argued that the evolution of complex phenomena ought to be described by fractional, differential, stochastic equations whose solutions have scaling properties and are therefore random, fractal functions. To support this argument we…

We consider the fragmentation process with mass loss and discuss self-similar properties of the arising structure both in time and space, focusing on dimensional analysis. This exhibits a spectrum of mass exponents $\theta$, whose exact…

The local structure of a fractal set is described by its dimension $D$, which is the exponent of a power-law relating the mass ${\cal N}$ in a ball to its radius $\epsilon$: ${\cal N}\sim \epsilon^D$. It is desirable to characterise the…

Collisionless suspensions of inertial particles (finite-size impurities) are studied in 2D and 3D spatially smooth flows. Tools borrowed from the study of random dynamical systems are used to identify and to characterise in full generality…

In this paper, we give a review of fractal calculus which is an expansion of standard calculus. Fractal calculus is applied for functions which are not differentiable or integrable on totally disconnected fractal sets such as middle-$\mu$…

Fractal Clifford Spaces (FCS) may be considered as a challenging approach to the unification of micro-physics and macro-physics. Trajectories of these manifolds are described by different poly-vectors describing paths and their deviation…

In this paper I discuss the formation of topological defects in quantum field theory and the relation between fractals and coherent states. The study of defect formation is particularly useful in the understanding of the same mathematical…

The large deviations properties of trajectory observables for chaotic non-invertible deterministic maps as studied recently by N. R. Smith, Phys. Rev. E 106, L042202 (2022) and by R. Gutierrez, A. Canella-Ortiz, C. Perez-Espigares,…

We develop the hypothesis that the dynamics of a given system may lead to the activity being constricted to a subset of space, characterized by a fractal dimension smaller than the space dimension. We also address how the response function…

Fracture in a disordered lattice system is studied. In our system, particles are initially arranged on the triangular lattice and each nearest-neighbor pair is connected with a randomly chosen soft or hard Hookean spring. Every spring has…

Scientists often think of the world (or some part of it) as a dynamical system, a stochastic process, or a generalization of such a system. Prominent examples of systems are (i) the system of planets orbiting the sun or any other classical…

The late-time cosmological dynamics of disformal gravity are investigated using dynamical systems methods. It is shown that in the general case there are no stable attractors that screen fifth-forces locally and simultaneously describe a…

Fractal geometry provides a powerful tool for scale-free spatial analysis of cities, but the fractal dimension calculation results always depend on methods and scopes of study area. This phenomenon has been puzzling many researchers. This…

Concentrations of matter, such as galaxies and galactic clusters, originated as very small density fluctuations in the early universe. The existence of galaxy clusters and super-clusters suggests that a natural scale for the matter…
