Abstract

In this article, we study a new class of collective motion for identical coupled Stuart-Landau oscillators on graphs. This model was previously known to converge to the synchronized state for a certain class of initial data. Here, we show that when the interaction matrix is circulant, there exists another class of attractors, in which the particles are uniformly distributed on a circle, reminiscent of the \textit{twisted states} known for the Kuramoto model, but which rotate around the origin. However, contrary to the classical Kuramoto case, here the rotation is caused by the asymmetry of the graph structure, and not by the natural frequencies. We identify conditions for the existence and local stability of the \textit{rotational twisted states}, both in the Stuart-Landau model and in the Kuramoto model. We also provide sufficient conditions for the existence and stability of the synchronized state, which can co-exist with the rotational twisted state in a certain parameter region. We provide a generalization of the class of interaction matrices able to generate rotational twisted states via leader-follower interaction matrices. We show that heterogeneous rotational twisted states can also exist for a system of heterogeneous oscillators, attracted to different individual target amplitudes. This study is accompanied by numerical simulations that illustrate the possible behaviors of the system, which also include metastable dynamics and a chimera state.

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.
