Special subsets of orbits in chaotic systems, e.g. periodic orbits, heteroclinic orbits, closed orbits, can be considered as skeletons or scaffolds upon which the full dynamics of the system is built. In particular, as demonstrated in…
Homoclinic and unstable periodic orbits in chaotic systems play central roles in various semiclassical sum rules. The interferences between terms are governed by the action functions and Maslov indices. In this article, we identify…
Semiclassical sum rules, such as the Gutzwiller trace formula, depend on the properties of periodic, closed, or homoclinic (heteroclinic) orbits. The interferences embedded in such orbit sums are governed by classical action functions and…
In addition to the well known scarring effect of periodic orbits, we show here that homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits, which are cornerstones in the theory of classical chaos, also scar eigenfunctions of classically chaotic systems when…
A general relation is derived for the action difference between two fixed points and a phase space area bounded by the irreducible component of a heteroclinic tangle. The determination of this area can require accurate calculation of…
Stable and unstable manifolds, originating from hyperbolic cycles, fundamentally characterize the behaviour of dynamical systems in chaotic regions. This letter demonstrates that their shifts under perturbation, crucial for chaos control,…

Symbolic dynamics for homoclinic orbits in the two-dimensional symmetric map, $x_{n+1}+cx_{n}+x_{n-1}=3x_{n}^3$, is discussed. Above a critical $c^{\ast}$, the system exhibits a fully-developed horse-shoe so that its global behavior is…

Homoclinic motion plays a key role in the organization of classical chaos in Hamiltonian systems. In this Letter, we show that it also imprints a clear signature in the corresponding quantum spectra. By numerically studying the fluctuations…
Heteroclinic connections between two distinct hyperbolic periodic orbits in conservative systems are important in a wide range of applications. On the other hand, it is theoretically challenging to find large amplitude connections from…
In the framework of semiclassical theory the universal properties of quantum systems with classically chaotic dynamics can be accounted for through correlations between partner periodic orbits with small action differences. So far, however,…
The magnitudes of the terms in periodic orbit semiclassical trace formulas are determined by the orbits' stability exponents. In this paper, we demonstrate a simple asymptotic relationship between those stability exponents and the…
We developed a powerful computational approach to elaborate on onset mechanisms of deterministic chaos due to complex homoclinic bifurcations in diverse systems. Its core is the reduction of phase space dynamics to symbolic binary…
In a smooth dynamical system, a homoclinic connection is a closed orbit returning to a saddle equilibrium. Under perturbation, homoclinics are associated with bifurcations of periodic orbits, and with chaos in higher dimensions. Homoclinic…
