Hamiltonian systems with a mixed phase space typically exhibit an algebraic decay of correlations and of Poincare' recurrences, with numerical experiments over finite times showing system-dependent power-law exponents. We conjecture the…

This article is meant as a mathematical appendix or comment on [BT]. We first consider the notion of transcritical bifurcations of fixed points of general area-preserving maps, and then adress some questions related to [BT] on bifurcation…

For Hamiltonian systems with degeneracy of any higher order, we study the persistence of resonant invariant tori, which as some lower-dimensional invariant tori might be elliptic, hyperbolic or of mixed types. Hence we prove a quasiperiodic…

We show that quantum effects modify the decay rate of Poincar\'e recurrences P(t) in classical chaotic systems with hierarchical structure of phase space. The exponent p of the algebraic decay P(t) ~ 1/t^p is shown to have the universal…

In this note we discuss three interconnected problems about dynamics of Hamiltonian or, more generally, just smooth diffeomorphisms. The first two concern the existence and properties of the maps whose iterations approximate the identity…

We investigate the dependence of Poincar\'e recurrence-times statistics on the choice of recurrence-set, by sampling the dynamics of two- and four-dimensional Hamiltonian maps. We derive a method that allows us to visualize the direct…

A high dimensional dynamical system is often studied by experimentalists through the measurement of a relatively low number of different quantities, called an observation. Following this idea and in the continuity of Boshernitzan's work,…

Revivals of the coherent states of a deformed, adiabatically and cyclically varying oscillator Hamiltonian are examined. The revival time distribution is exactly that of Poincar\'{e} recurrences for a rotation map: only three distinct…

Hundred twenty years after the fundamental work of Poincar\'e, the statistics of Poincar\'e recurrences in Hamiltonian systems with a few degrees of freedom is studied by numerical simulations. The obtained results show that in a regime,…

We study a generalization of the familiar Poincar\'e map, first implicitely introduced by N.N. Nekhoroshev in his study of persistence of invariant tori in hamiltonian systems, and discuss some of its properties and applications. In…

Statistics of Poincar\' e recurrence for a class of circle maps, including sub-critical, critical, and super-critical cases, are studied. It is shown how the topological differences in the various types of the dynamics are manifested in the…

The Poincar\'e recurrence theorem shows that conservative systems in a bounded region of phase space eventually return arbitrarily close to their initial state after a finite amount of time. An analogous behavior occurs in certain quantum…

We obtain a description of the Poincar\'e recurrences of chaotic systems in terms of the ergodic theory of transient chaos. It is based on the equivalence between the recurrence time distribution and an escape time distribution obtained by…

It is known that the Principal Poincar\'e Pontryagin Function is generically an Abelian integral. In non generic cases it is an iterated integral. In previous papers one of the authors gives a precise description of the Principal Poincar\'e…

We review some aspects of recurrence in topological dynamics and focus on two open problems. The first is an old one concerning the relation between Poincare and Birkhoff recurrence; the second, due to Boshernitzan, is about moving…

In the present paper, we study the Poincare map associated to a periodic perturbation, both in space and time, of a linear Hamiltonian system. The dynamical system embodies the essential physics of stellar pulsations and provides a global…

The statistics of Poincar\'e recurrence times in Hamiltonian systems typically shows a power-law decay with chaotic trajectories sticking to some phase-space regions for long times. For higher-dimensional systems the mechanism of this…

The paper deals with dynamics of expanding Lorenz maps, which appear in a natural way as Poincar\`e maps in geometric models of well-known Lorenz attractor. Using both analytical and symbolic approaches, we study connections between…

We consider an Abel polynomial differential equation. For two given points a and b, the "Poincare mapping" of the equation transforms the values of its solution at a into their values at b. In this article, we study global analytic…

We study bifurcations of area-preserving maps, both orientable (symplectic) and non-orientable, with quadratic homoclinic tangencies. We consider one and two parameter general unfoldings and establish results related to the appearance of…
