We study the irreversible dynamics of nonlinear, nonintegrable Hamiltonian oscillator chains approaching their statistical asympotic states. In systems constrained by more than one conserved quantity, the partitioning of the conserved…
The phase space of $N$ damped linear oscillators is endowed with a bilinear map under which the evolution operator is symmetric. This analog of self-adjointness allows properties familiar from conservative systems to be recovered, e.g.,…
We study the dynamics of a piecewise map defined on the set of three pairwise nonparallel, nonconcurrent lines in $\mathbb{R}^2$. The geometric map of study may be analogized to the billiard map with a different reflection rule so that each…
In this paper we perform the analysis that leads to the space of initial conditions for the Hamiltonian system $q' = p^2 + zq + \alpha$, $p' = -q^2 - zp - \beta$, studied by the author in an earlier article. By compactifying the phase space…
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…
Dynamical maps describe general transformations of the state of a physical system, and their iteration can be interpreted as generating a discrete time evolution. Prime examples include classical nonlinear systems undergoing transitions to…
We revisit the secular 3D planetary three-body problem aiming to provide a unified formalism for studying the structure of the phase space for progressively higher values of the mutual inclination $i_{mut}$ between the two planets' orbits.…
In this paper, we establish a three circles type theorem, involving the harmonic area function, for harmonic mappings. Also, we give bounds for length and area distortion for harmonic quasiconformal mappings. Finally, we will study certain…
We study bifurcations of cubic homoclinic tangencies in two-dimensional symplectic maps. We distinguish two types of cubic homoclinic tangencies, and each type gives different first return maps derived to diverse conservative cubic H\'enon…
Based on the classical and quantum ergodic hierarchy, a framework for mixed systems with a phase space composed by two uncorrelated integrable and chaotic regions is presented. It provides some features of mixed systems connecting the…
We describe for any Riemannian manifold a certain infinitesimal neighbourhood of the diagonal. Semi-conformal maps are analyzed as those that preserve such neighbourhoods; harmonic maps are analyzed as those that preserve mirror image…
An approximate Poincare map near equally strong multiple resonances is reduced by means the method of averaging. Near the resonance junction of three degrees of freedom, we find that some homoclinic orbits ``whiskers'' in single resonance…
In this paper, we consider chaotic dynamics and variational structures of area-preserving maps. There is a lot of study on the dynamics of their maps and the works of Poincare and Birkhoff are well-known. To consider variational structures…
We study the continuation of periodic orbits from various compound of homoclinics in classical system. Together with the homoclinics, the periodic orbits make up a $C^1$-smooth, normally hyperbolic invariant cylinder with holes. It plays a…
We study the role of driving in a two-level system evolving under the presence of a structured environment. We find that adding a periodical modulation to the two-level system can greatly enhance the survival of the geometric phase for many…
The cyclic evolutions and associated geometric phases induced by time-independent Hamiltonians are studied for the case when the evolution operator becomes the identity (those processes are called {\it evolution loops}). We make a detailed…
We introduce holomorphic Riemannian maps between almost Hermitian manifolds as a generalization of holomorphic submanifolds and holomorphic submersions, give examples and obtain a geometric characterization of harmonic holomorphic…
We show that the spaces of holomorphic and continuous maps from a smooth complex projective variety to a projective space have the same homology in a range depending on the degree of the maps.
There are three complete plane geometries of constant curvature: spherical, Euclidean and hyperbolic geometry. We explain how a closed oriented surface can carry a geometry which locally looks like one of these. Focussing on the hyperbolic…
We describe a method for analyzing the phase space structures of Hamiltonian systems. This method is based on a time-frequency decomposition of a trajectory using wavelets. The ridges of the time-frequency landscape of a trajectory, also…
