The Arnold diffusion constitutes a dynamical phenomenon which may occur in the phase space of a non-integrable Hamiltonian system whenever the number of the system degrees of freedom is $M \geq 3$. The diffusion is mediated by a web-like…
We provide numerical evidence of global diffusion occurring in slightly perturbed integrable Hamiltonian systems and symplectic maps. We show that even if a system is sufficiently close to be integrable, global diffusion occurs on a set…
The relation between relaxation and diffusion is investigated in a Hamiltonian system of globally coupled rotators. Diffusion is anomalous if and only if the system is going towards equilibrium. The anomaly in diffusion is not anomalous…
For a mechanical system consisting of a rotator and a pendulum coupled via a small, time-periodic Hamiltonian perturbation, the Arnold diffusion problem asserts the existence of `diffusing orbits' along which the energy of the rotator grows…
Starting with Arnold's pioneering work, the term "Arnold diffusion" has been used to describe the slow diffusion taking place in the space of the actions in Hamiltonian nonlinear dynamical systems with three or more degrees of freedom. The…
We study the Arnold diffusion in a priori unstable near-integrable systems in a neighbourhood of a resonance of low order. We consider a non-autonomous near-integrable Hamiltonian system with $n+1/2$ degrees of freedom, $n\ge 2$. Let the…
We demonstrate that quantum dynamical localization in the Arnold web of higher-dimensional Hamiltonian systems is destroyed by an intrinsic classical drift. Thus quantum wave packets and eigenstates may explore more of the intricate Arnold…

A detailed numerical study is presented of the slow diffusion (Arnold diffusion) taking place around resonance crossings in nearly integrable Hamiltonian systems of three degrees of freedom in the so-called `Nekhoroshev regime'. The aim is…
We study the fingerprint of the Arnol'd diffusion in a quantum system of two coupled nonlinear oscillators with a two-frequency external force. In the classical description, this peculiar diffusion is due to the onset of a weak chaos in a…
We study the electron dynamics in a 2D waveguide bounded by a periodically rippled surface in the presence of the time-periodic electric field. The main attention is paid to a possibility of a weak quantum diffusion along the coupling…
We highlight a few recent results on the effect of the diffusion process in deterministic area preserving maps with noncompact phase space, namely the standard map. In more detail, we focus on the anomalous diffusion arising due to the…
Diffusion maps approximate the generator of Langevin dynamics from simulation data. They afford a means of identifying the slowly-evolving principal modes of high-dimensional molecular systems. When combined with a biasing mechanism,…
It is well known that instabilities of nearly integrable Hamiltonian systems occur around resonances. Dynamics near resonances of these systems is well approximated by the associated averaged system, called slow system. Each resonance is…
We study an analog of the classical Arnol'd diffusion in a quantum system of two coupled non-linear oscillators one of which is governed by an external periodic force with two frequencies. In the classical model this very weak diffusion…
We consider a system of infinitely many penduli on an $m$-dimensional lattice with a weak coupling. For any prescribed path in the lattice, for suitable couplings, we construct orbits for this Hamiltonian system of infinite degrees of…
We find that Anderson localization ceases to exist when a random medium begins to move, but another type of fundamental quantum effect, Planckian diffusion $D = \alpha\hbar/m$, rises to replace it, with $\alpha $ of order of unity.…
In this work we illustrate the Arnold diffusion in a concrete example---the \emph{a priori} unstable Hamiltonian system of $2+1/2$ degrees of freedom $H(p,q,I,\varphi,s) = p^{2}/2+\cos q -1 +I^{2}/2 + h(q,\varphi,s;\varepsilon)$---proving…
It is well known that under generic $C^r$ smooth perturbations, the phenomenon of global instability, known as Arnold diffusion, exists in a priori unstable Hamiltonian systems. In this paper, by using variational methods, we will prove…
We study the diffusion phenomena on the negatively curved surface made up of congruent heptagons. Unlike the usual two-dimensional plane, this structure makes the boundary increase exponentially with the distance from the center, and hence…
