A nonsmooth fold is where an equilibrium or limit cycle of a nonsmooth dynamical system hits a switching manifold and collides and annihilates with another solution of the same type. We show that beyond the bifurcation the leading-order…

A salient feature of topological phases are surface states and many of the widely studied physical properties are directly tied to their existence. Although less explored, a variety of topological phases can however similarly be…

We analyze the coherent dynamics of excitons in three dimensional topologically disordered networks with traps. If the interactions between the nodes of the network are long ranged, i.e., algebraically decaying as a function of the distance…

It is well known that the addition of noise to a multistable dynamical system can induce random transitions from one stable state to another. For low noise, the times between transitions have an exponential tail and Kramers' formula gives…

We present the emergence of topological phase transition in the minimal model of two dimensional rock-paper-scissors cycle in the form of a doublet chain. The evolutionary dynamics of the doublet chain is obtained by solving the…

We apply the slip-back mapping method of Titov et al. 2009 and Lionello et al. 2020 to a thermodynamic MHD simulation to track topological changes in the magnetic field at a range of temporal cadences. The method constitutes the logical…

The topological hypothesis claims that phase transitions in a classical statistical mechanical system are related to changes in the topology of the level sets of the Hamiltonian. So far, the study of this hypothesis has been restricted to…
