Parametric oscillators are examples of externally driven systems that can exhibit two stable states with opposite phase depending on the initial conditions. In this work, we propose to study what happens when the external forcing is…
Multiplicity of phase states within frequency locked bands in periodically forced oscillatory systems may give rise to front structures separating states with different phases. A new front instability is found within bands where…
By a classical result of Kathleen Alligood and James Yorke we know that as we isotopically deform a map $f:ABCD\to\mathbb{R}^2$ to a Smale horseshoe map we should often expect the dynamical complexity to increase via a period--doubling…
We analyse in this article the critical behavior of $M$ $q_1$-state Potts models coupled to $N$ $q_2$-state Potts models ($q_1,q_2\in [2..4]$) with and without disorder. The technics we use are based on perturbed conformal theories.…
We study quantum phase transitions out of the fracton ordered phase of the $\mathbb{Z}_N$ X-cube model. These phase transitions occur when various types of sub-dimensional excitations and their composites are condensed. The condensed phases…
Dynamics of a periodically forced anharmonic oscillator (AO) with cubic nonlinearity, linear damping, and nonlinear damping, is studied. To begin with, the authors examine the dynamics of an AO. Due to this symmetric nature, the system has…
We study the critical dynamics of crystals which undergo a second-order phase transition from a high-temperature normal phase to a structurally incommensurate (IC) modulated phase. We give a comprehensive description of the critical…
We investigate the long time behavior of a pinned chain of $2N+1$ oscillators, indexed by $x \in\{-N,\ldots, N\}$. The system is subjected to an external driving force on the particle at $x=0$, of period $\theta=2\pi/\omega$, and to…
We explore the dynamical consequences of switching the coupling form in a system of coupled oscillators. We consider two types of switching, one where the coupling function changes periodically and one where it changes probabilistically. We…
We investigate two equivalent, capacitively coupled semiconducting quantum dots, each coupled to its own lead, in a regime where there are two electrons on the double dot. With increasing interdot coupling a rich range of behavior is…
Critical end points and tricritical points are multicritical points that separate lines of continuous transitions from lines of first order transitions in the phase diagram of many systems. In models like the spin-1 disordered Blume-Capel…
This paper focusses attention on the strange nonchaotic attractors (SNA) of a quasiperiodically forced dynamical system. Several routes, including the standard ones by which the appearance of strange nonchaotic attractors takes place, are…
Dynamical phase transitions can occur in isolated quantum systems that are brought out of equilibrium by sudden parameter changes. We discuss the characterization of such dynamical phase transitions based on the statistics of produced…
In this paper we study the critical behavior of an $N$-component ${\phi}^{4}$-model in hyperbolic space, which serves as a model of uniform frustration. We find that this model exhibits a second-order phase transition with an unusual…
The physics of Anderson transitions between localized and metallic phases in disordered systems is reviewed. We focus on the character of criticality as well as on underlying symmetries and topologies that are crucial for understanding…
In this work we investigate symmetry breaking in the presence of a turbulent environment. The transition from a symmetric state to a symmetry-breaking state is demonstrated using two examples: (i) the transition of a two-dimensional flow to…
We study dynamics of a ring of three unidirectionally coupled double-well Duffing oscillators for three different values of the damping coefficient: fixed dumping, proportional to time, and inversely proportional to time. The dynamics in…
Unlike classical bifurcations, border-collision bifurcations occur when, for example, a fixed point of a continuous, piecewise $\mathcal{C}^{1}$ map crosses a boundary in state space. Although classical bifurcations have been much studied,…
