Application of the diffraction trace formula to the three disk scattering system

The diffraction trace formula ({\em Phys. Rev. Lett.} {\bf 73}, 2304 (1994)) and spectral determinant are tested on the open three disk scattering system. The system contains a generic and exponentially growing number of diffraction periodic orbits. In spite of this it is shown that even the scattering resonances with large imaginary part can be reproduced semiclassicaly. The non-trivial interplay of the diffraction periodic orbits with the usual geometrical orbits produces the fine structure of the complicated spectrum of scattering resonances, which are beyond the resolution of the conventional periodic orbit theory.

Symplectic Integration without Roundoff Error

Most numerical integration algorithms are not designed specifically for Hamiltonian systems and do not respect their characteristic properties, which include the preservation of phase space volume with time. This can lead to spurious damping or excitation. Methods that do preserve all the Hamiltonian properties, i.e., for which the time-forward map is symplectic, are called symplectic integration algorithms or SIAs. Although such integrators are symplectic in theory, they are not symplectic if implemented using finite-precision arithmetic. This paper explains how to eliminate this problem by using ``Lattice SIAs'' and shows that these methods yield significant advantages when the computational error is dominated by roundoff. Using a lattice SIA is equivalent to evolving the exact solution of a problem with a Hamiltonian that is slightly different from the original. Lattice methods are useful for studies of the long-term evolution of Hamiltonian dynamical systems.

Dissipative Chaotic Quantum Maps: Expectation Values, Correlation Functions and the Invariant State

I investigate the propagator of the Wigner function for a dissipative chaotic quantum map. I show that a small amount of dissipation reduces the propagator of sufficiently smooth Wigner functions to its classical counterpart, the Frobenius-Perron operator, if $\hbar\to 0$. Several consequences arise: The Wigner transform of the invariant density matrix is a smeared out version of the classical strange attractor; time dependent expectation values and correlation functions of observables can be evaluated via hybrid quantum-classical formulae in which the quantum character enters only via the initial Wigner function. If a classical phase-space distribution is chosen for the latter or if the map is iterated sufficiently many times the formulae become entirely classical, and powerful classical trace formulae apply.

How the viscous subrange determines inertial range properties in turbulence shell models

We calculate static solutions of the 'GOY' shell model of turbulence and do a linear stability analysis. The asymptotic limit of large Reynolds numbers is analyzed. A phase diagram is presented which shows the range of stability of the static solution. We see an unexpected oscillatory dependence of the stability range upon $\lg ν$, where $ν$ is the viscosity. This effect depends upon the discrete structure of the shell model and goes to zero as the separation between the shells is brought to zero. These findings show how viscous effects play a role in determining inertial properties of shell models and give some hints for understanding the effects of viscous dissipation upon real turbulence.

Spatiotemporal bifurcations in plasma drift-waves

Experimental data from an experiment on drift--waves in plasma is presented. The experiment provides a space--time diagnostic and has a control parameter that permits the study of the transition from a stable plasma to a turbulent plasma. The biorthogonal decomposition is used to analyse the data. We introduce the notion of complex modulation for two--dimensional systems. We decompose the real physical system into complex modulated monochromatic travelling waves and give a simple model describing the speed doubling observed in the data as the control parameter increases.

Numerical Study of Granular Turbulence and the appearance of $k^{-5/3}$ energy spectrum without flow

The vibrated bed of powder, a vessel that mono disperse glass beads fill and a loud speaker shakes, is investigated numerically with the distinct element method, a kind of molecular dynamics. When the bed is heavily shaken, the displacement vectors of powder have the power spectrum with the dependence upon the wave number $k$ as $k^{-5/3}$. The origin of this spectrum is suggested to be the balance between the injected and dissipative energy, analogous to the proposal by Kolmogorov to explain the $k^{-5/3}$ energy spectrum observed in the fluid turbulence. Furthermore, the same spectrum still appears even without flows of powder. Thus Kolmogorov's argument is more universal than believed before.

Transition to Chaos in a Shell Model of Turbulence

We study a shell model for the energy cascade in three dimensional turbulence at varying the coefficients of the non-linear terms in such a way that the fundamental symmetries of Navier-Stokes are conserved. When a control parameter $ε$ related to the strength of backward energy transfer is enough small, the dynamical system has a stable fixed point corresponding to the Kolmogorov scaling. This point becomes unstable at $ε=0.3843...$ where a stable limit cycle appears via a Hopf bifurcation. By using the bi-orthogonal decomposition, the transition to chaos is shown to follow the Ruelle-Takens scenario. For $ε> 0.3953..$ the dynamical evolution is intermittent with a positive Lyapunov exponent. In this regime, there exists a strange attractor which remains close to the Kolmogorov (now unstable) fixed point, and a local scaling invariance which can be described via a intermittent one-dimensional map.

The Spatio-Temporal Structure of Spiral-Defect Chaos

We present a study of the recently discovered spatially-extended chaotic state known as spiral-defect chaos, which occurs in low-Prandtl-number, large-aspect-ratio Rayleigh-Benard convection. We employ the modulus squared of the space-time Fourier transform of time series of two-dimensional shadowgraph images to construct the structure factor ${S}({\vec k},ω)$. This analysis is used to characterize the average spatial and temporal scales of the chaotic state. We find that the correlation length and time can be described by power-law dependences on the reduced Rayleigh number $ε$. These power laws have as yet no theoretical explanation.

The Bianchi Ix (MIXMASTER) Cosmological Model is Not Integrable

The perturbation of an exact solution exhibits a movable transcendental essential singularity, thus proving the nonintegrability. Then, all possible exact particular solutions which may be written in closed form are isolated with the perturbative Painlevé test; this proves the inexistence of any vacuum solution other than the three known ones.

Some exact correlations in the Dyson Brownian motion model for transitions to the CUE

The Dyson Brownian motion model for transistions to the CUE is considered. For initial eigenvalue probability density functions corresponding to the COE and CSE, the density-density correlation function between an eigenvalue at position lambda' initially (tau = 0) and an eigenvalue at position lambda for general tau, is calculated. Theoretical predictions for the asymptotic behaviour are verified, and the distribution for the initial rate of change of the eigenvalues is calculated. Also, for initial conditions corresponding to equi-spaced eigenvalues, the n-point equal parameter distribution is computed. The extension of the calculation of these quantities to a multiparameter version of the theory is given.

The rate of entropy increase at the edge of chaos

Under certain conditions, the rate of increase of the statistical entropy of a simple, fully chaotic, conservative system is known to be given by a single number, characteristic of this system, the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy rate. This connection is here generalized to a simple dissipative system, the logistic map, and especially to the chaos threshold of the latter, the edge of chaos. It is found that, in the edge-of-chaos case, the usual Boltzmann-Gibbs-Shannon entropy is not appropriate. Instead, the non-extensive entropy $S_q\equiv \frac{1-\sum_{i=1}^W p_i^q}{q-1}$, must be used. The latter contains a parameter q, the entropic index which must be given a special value $q^*\ne 1$ (for q=1 one recovers the usual entropy) characteristic of the edge-of-chaos under consideration. The same q^* enters also in the description of the sensitivity to initial conditions, as well as in that of the multifractal spectrum of the attractor.

The existence of Burnett coefficients in the periodic Lorentz gas

The linear super-Burnett coefficient gives corrections to the diffusion equation in the form of higher derivatives of the density. Like the diffusion coefficient, it can be expressed in terms of integrals of correlation functions, but involving four different times. The power law decay of correlations in real gases (with many moving particles) and the random Lorentz gas (with one moving particle and fixed scatterers) are expected to cause the super-Burnett coefficient to diverge in most cases. Here we show that the expression for the super-Burnett coefficient of the periodic Lorentz gas converges as a result of exponential decay of correlations and a nontrivial cancellation of divergent contributions.

Robust and Irreversible Development in Cell Society as a General Consequence of Intra-Inter Dynamics

A dynamical systems scenario for developmental cell biology is proposed, based on numerical studies of a system with interacting units with internal dynamics and reproduction. Diversification, formation of discrete and recursive types, and rules for differentiation are found as a natural consequence of such a system. "Stem cells" that either proliferate or differentiate to different types stochastically are found to appear when intra-cellular dynamics are chaotic. Robustness of the developmental process against microscopic and macroscopic perturbations is shown to be a natural consequence of such intra-inter dynamics, while irreversibility in developmental process is discussed in terms of the gain of stability, loss of diversity and chaotic instability.

Chaotic dynamics and superdiffusion in a Hamiltonian system with many degrees of freedom

We discuss recent results obtained for the Hamiltonian Mean Field model. The model describes a system of N fully-coupled particles in one dimension and shows a second-order phase transition from a clustered phase to a homogeneous one when the energy is increased. Strong chaos is found in correspondence to the critical point on top of a weak chaotic regime which characterizes the motion at low energies. For a small region around the critical point, we find anomalous (enhanced) diffusion and Lévy walks in a transient temporal regime before the system relaxes to equilibrium.

Slow modes in passive advection

The anomalous scaling in the Kraichnan model of advection of the passive scalar by a random velocity field with non-smooth spatial behavior is traced down to the presence of slow resonance-type collective modes of the stochastic evolution of fluid trajectories. We show that the slow modes are organized into infinite multiplets of descendants of the primary conserved modes. Their presence is linked to the non-deterministic behavior of the Lagrangian trajectories at high Reynolds numbers caused by the sensitive dependence on initial conditions within the viscous range where the velocity fields are more regular. Revisiting the Kraichnan model with smooth velocities we describe the explicit solution for the stationary state of the scalar. The properties of the probability distribution function of the smeared scalar in this state are related to a quantum mechanical problem involving the Calogero-Sutherland Hamiltonian with a potential.

Chaos in Static Axisymmetric Spacetimes I : Vacuum Case

We study the motion of test particle in static axisymmetric vacuum spacetimes and discuss two criteria for strong chaos to occur: (1) a local instability measured by the Weyl curvature, and (2) a tangle of a homoclinic orbit, which is closely related to an unstable periodic orbit in general relativity. We analyze several static axisymmetric spacetimes and find that the first criterion is a sufficient condition for chaos, at least qualitatively. Although some test particles which do not satisfy the first criterion show chaotic behavior in some spacetimes, these can be accounted for the second criterion.

Quantum Surface of Section Method: Demonstration of semiclassical Berry-Robnik energy level spacing distribution in a generic 2-dim Hamiltonian system

The recently developed quantum surface of section method is applied to a search for extremely high-lying energy levels in a simple but generic Hamiltonian system between integrability and chaos, namely the semiseparable 2-dim oscillator. Using the stretch of 13,445 consecutive levels with the sequential number around $1.8\cdot 10^7$ (eighteen million) we have clearly demonstrated the validity of the semiclassical Berry-Robnik level spacing distribution while at 1000 times smaller sequential quantum numbers we find the very persistent quasi universal phenomenon of power-law level repulsion which is globally very well described by the Brody distribution.
