We survey the properties of all orbit families in the rotating frame of a family of realistic triaxial potentials with central supermassive black holes (SMBHs). In such galaxies, most regular box orbits (vital for maintaining triaxiality)…
As the name indicates, a periodic orbit is a solution for a dynamical system that repeats itself in time. In the regular regime, periodic orbits are stable, while in the chaotic regime, they become unstable. The presence of unstable…
We present a detailed investigation of the relation between the orbital content of merger remnants and observable properties of elliptical and S0 galaxies. Our analysis is based on the statistical sample of collisionless mergers of disk…
We explore theoretically the complex dynamics and emergent behaviors of spinning spheres immersed in viscous fluid. The particles are coupled to each-other via the fluid in which they are suspended: each particle disturbs the surrounding…
We study discrete spectral quantities associated to Schr\"odinger operators of the form $-\Delta_{\mathbb{R}^d}+V_N$, $d$ odd. The potential $V_N$ models a highly disordered crystal; it varies randomly at scale $N^{-1} \ll 1$. We use…
Since the violent relaxation in hierarchical merging is incomplete, elliptical galaxies retain a wealth of information about their formation pathways in their present-day orbital structure. A variety of evidence indicates that gas-rich…
Let $S$ be a closed surface of genus $g\geq 1$, furnished with an area form $\omega$. We show that there exists an open and dense set ${\mathcal O_r}$ of the space of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of class $C^r$, $1\leq r\leq\infty$, endowed…
It is shown, that at weakly nonlinear interaction of waves are possible as modes with chaotic dynamics, and with increasing degree of coherence. Conditions are found at which they arise. One of the types of such interaction is decays. The…
Spectra of one-electron and collective excitations in narrow-band ferromagnets with unquenched orbital moments are calculated in various theoretical models. The interaction of spin and orbital excitations with conduction electrons results…
We prove that transport in the phase space of the "most strongly chaotic" dynamical systems has three different stages. Consider a finite Markov partition (coarse graining) $\xi$ of the phase space of such a system. In the first short times…
We investigate the orbital structure of a model triaxial star cluster, centered around a supermassive black hole (BH), appropriate to galactic nuclei. Sridhar and Touma (1999) proved that the presence of the BH enforces some regularity in…
We establish a deterministic technique to investigate transport moments of arbitrary order. The theory is applied to the analysis of different kinds of intermittent one-dimensional maps and the Lorentz gas with infinite horizon: the typical…
Infinitely rising one-dimensional potentials constitute impenetrable barriers which reflect totally any incident wave. However, the scattering by such kind of potentials is not structureless: resonances may occur for certain values of the…
Vibrational energy flows unevenly in molecules, repeatedly going back and forth between trapping and roaming. We identify bottlenecks between diffusive and chaotic behavior, and describe generic mechanisms of these transitions, taking the…
We consider a gravitational field in steady state galaxy models of two kinds. Some of them are axisymmetrical and others are triaxial. Equipotentials and potential law are given separately in accordance to Kutuzov and Ossipkov (1980). The…
