We study the Lyapunov exponents of models that are close to skew product systems over a C__ uniformly expanding transformation of the circle. For a continuous fibre map $\phi$, analytic, increasing, and convex in the fibre variable, we…
Lyapunov exponents characterize the chaotic nature of dynamical systems by quantifying the growth rate of uncertainty associated with the imperfect measurement of initial conditions. Finite-time estimates of the exponent, however,…
In the study of quantum chaos diagnostics, considerable attention has been attributed to the Krylov complexity and spectrum form factor (SFF) for systems at infinite temperature. These investigations have unveiled universal properties of…
Unitary dynamics with a strict causal cone (or "light cone") have been studied extensively, under the name of quantum cellular automata (QCAs). In particular, QCAs in one dimension have been completely classified by an index theory.…

It is well-known that for any inner function $\theta$ defined in the unit disk $D$ the following two conditons: $(i)$ there exists a sequence of polynomials $\{p_n\}_n$ such that $\lim_{n \to \infty} \theta(z) p_n(z) = 1$ for all $z \in D$,…
We discuss the growth of the singular values of symplectic transfer matrices associated with ergodic discrete Schr\"odinger operators in one dimension, with scalar and matrix-valued potentials. While for an individual value of the spectral…
We introduce and solve a generalized model of 1+1D Lorentzian triangulations in which a certain subclass of outgrowths is allowed, the occurrence of these being governed by a coupling constant \beta. Combining transfer matrix-, saddle…
We employ techniques from optimal transport in order to prove decay of transfer operators associated to iterated functions systems and expanding maps, giving rise to a new proof without requiring a Doeblin-Fortet (or Lasota-Yorke)…
We study Krylov complexity $C_K$ and operator entropy $S_K$ in operator growth. We find that for a variety of systems, including chaotic ones and integrable theories, the two quantities always enjoy a logarithmic relation $S_K\sim…
The stability of the insulating regime of the Hubbard model on a $d$-dimensional lattice, which is characterized by an exponential decay of the Green's functions, is investigated in terms of a cluster expansion. This expansion for the…
We provide a detailed examination of a thermal out-of-time-order correlator (OTOC) growing exponentially in time in systems without chaos. The system is a one-dimensional quantum mechanics with a potential whose part is an inverted harmonic…
A generalized Cahn-Hilliard model in a bounded interval of the real line with no-flux boundary conditions is considered. The label "generalized" refers to the fact that we consider a concentration dependent mobility, the $p$-Laplace…
We prove a quantitative inhomogeneous Hopf-Oleinik lemma for viscosity solutions of $$|\nabla u|^{\alpha}F(D^{2}u)=f $$ and, more generally, for viscosity supersolutions of $|\nabla u|^{\alpha}\,{M}^-_{\lambda,\Lambda}(D^{2}u)\le f$. The…
The largest Lyapunov exponent of an ergodic Hamiltonian system is the rate of exponential growth of the norm of a typical vector in the tangent space. For an N-particle Hamiltonian system, with a smooth Hamiltonian of the type p^2 + v(q),…
For any unitary representation $\rho$ on a finite-dimensional Hilbert space \(V\) with differential \(d\rho : \mathfrak{g} \to \mathfrak{u}(V)\) for the Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$, we consider the Hamiltonian evolution \[ U_X(t) \coloneqq…
It has been conjectured by Maldacena, Shenker, and Stanford [J. High Energy Phys.~08 (2016) 106] that the exponential growth rate of the out-of-time-ordered correlator (OTOC) $F(t)$ has a universal upper bound $2\pi k_B T/\hbar$. Here we…
Let $T$ be a finite tree graph, $T^N$ be the Cartesian power graph of $T$, and $d^N$ be the graph distance metric on $T^N$. Also let \[ \mathbb S_r^N(x) := \{v \in T^N: d^N(x,v) = r\} \] be the sphere of radius $r$ centered at $x$ and $M$…
Given a hyperbolic homeomorphism on a compact metric space, consider the space of linear cocycles over this base dynamics which are H\"older continuous and whose projective actions are partially hyperbolic dynamical systems. We prove that…
The emergence of diffusion is one of the deepest physical phenomena observed in many-body interacting, chaotic systems. But establishing rigorously that correlation functions, say of the spin, expand diffusively, remains one of the most…
