Abstract

In this work, we derive an analytical procedure for obtaining a multidimensional washboard ratchet potential Uf for two-dimensional Josephson junctions array (TDJJA) with an applied magnetic field. The magnetic field is given in units of the quantum ux per plaquette or frustration of the form f = M N . The derivation is done under the assumption that the checkerboard pattern ground state or unit cell of a two-dimensional Josephson junctions array (TDJJA) is preserved under current bias. The RCSJ with a white noise term models the dynamics for each junction phase in the array. The multidimensional potential is the unique expression of the collective effects that emerge from the array in contrast to the single junction. First step in the procedure is to write the equation for the phases for the unit cell by considering the constraints imposed for the gauge invariant phases due to frustration. Secondly and key idea of the procedure, is to perform a variable transformation from the original systems of stochastic equations to a system of variables where the condition for the equality of mixed second partial is forced via the Poincaré's theorem for differentials forms. This leads to a nonlinear matrix equation (equation (9) in the text), where the new coordinates variables xf are evaluated and where the potential exist. The transform matrix also permits the correct transformation of the original white noise terms of each junction to the intensities in the xf variables. The commensurate symmetries of the ground state pinned vortex lattice, leads to discrete symmetries to the part of the washboard potential that does not contain a tilt due to the external bias current(equation(10) in the text). In this work we apply the procedure for the important cases f = 1 2 ; 1 3 .

Admissible Fourier Lengths, KAM Reducibility, and Spectral Applications

We develop a perturbative KAM reducibility theory for one-frequency $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ cocycles based on an admissible Fourier length $\ell$. The regularity relevant to the iteration is measured by positive adapted Fourier width rather than ordinary smoothness in the Euclidean length $|n|$. The same length governs Fourier decay, truncation and resonance scales, and the arithmetic condition controlling the small divisors. This framework contains the classical analytic and Gevrey settings, while non-monotone choices of $\ell$ allow classical nowhere differentiable Weierstrass-type perturbations and continuous perturbations outside every positive H\"older class. As spectral applications, we obtain purely absolutely continuous spectrum for every phase and $1/2$-H\"older continuity of the integrated density of states for the associated quasiperiodic Schr\"odinger operators. The Aubry dual has pure point spectrum for Lebesgue almost every dual phase, with eigenfunctions exponentially localized in the metric induced by $\ell$. We also construct nowhere differentiable quasiperiodic potentials with purely absolutely continuous Cantor spectrum.

Dynamics inside the attracting basins of some skew products

Polynomial skew products in $\mathbb{C}^2$ are maps of the form $F(z,w)=(P(z),Q(z,w))$, where $P$ and $Q$ are polynomials. Their local dynamics have been widely investigated. In this paper, we study the global dynamics inside Fatou components of some skew products. We consider all the inverse images in a Fatou component of a given point and use the Kobayashi metric to measure the distance between points. In the cases we consider, there are always arbitrarily large Kobayashi balls in the complement of these inverse sets.

Ergodicity of dynamical systems without uniqueness of orbits

Recently, there has been considerable interest in the study of non-deterministic dynamical systems. To analyze the chaotic behavior of such systems from a measure-theoretic viewpoint, it is desirable to consider ergodicity. However, the classical definition of ergodicity involves invariant sets, whose definition is not unique for non-deterministic dynamical systems. Thus, we are led to the question of which invariance yields an interesting definition of ergodicity. Here, we propose a definition based on the strong backward invariance and show that analogs of classical results hold. We also consider implications of the Birkhoff ergodic theorem for systems without uniqueness of orbits.
