We investigate a generalized non-linear O(3) $\sigma$-model in three space dimensions where the fields are maps $S^3 \mapsto S^2$. Such maps are classified by a homotopy invariant called the Hopf number which takes integer values. The model…
Radiation by the atoms of a resonant medium is a cooperative process in which the medium participates as a whole. In two previous papers \cite{PG00,GP00}, we treated this problem for the case of a medium having slab geometry, which, under…
We consider the one-dimensional Swift-Hohenberg equation coupled to a conservation law. As a parameter increases the system undergoes a Turing bifurcation. We study the dynamics near this bifurcation. First, we show that stationary,…
Using a normal form approach described in a previous paper we derive an amplitude equation for a reaction-diffusion system with a Hopf bifurcation coupled to one or more slow real eigenmodes. The new equation is useful even for systems…
This paper is concerned with the detailed behaviour of roll-waves undergoing a low-frequency perturbation. We rst derive the so-called Whitham's averaged modulation equations and relate the well-posedness of this set of equations to the…
We demonstrate a new spectroscopic method for studying electronic transitions in molecules with extremely broad range of angular momentum. We employ an optical centrifuge to create narrow rotational wave packets in the ground electronic…
Hopf bifurcation in networks of coupled ODEs creates periodic states in which the relative phases of nodes are well defined near bifurcation. When the network is a fully inhomogeneous nearest-neighbour coupled unidirectional ring, and node…

When the steady states at infinity become unstable through a pattern forming bifurcation, a travelling wave may bifurcate into a modulated front which is time-periodic in a moving frame. This scenario has been studied by B.Sandstede and…
