Dynamics and Entropy in the Zhang Model of Self-Organized Criticality

We give a detailed study of dynamical properties of the Zhang model, including evaluation of topological entropy and estimates for the Lyapunov exponents and the dimension of the attractor. In the thermodynamic limit the entropy goes to zero and the Lyapunov spectrum collapses.     

Topological order,entanglement, and quantum memory at finite temperature

We compute the topological entropy of the toric code models in arbitrary dimension at finite temperature. We find that the critical temperatures for the existence of full quantum (classical) topological entropy correspond to the confinement–deconfinement transitions in the corresponding ${\mathbb{Z}}_2$ gauge theories. This implies that the thermal stability of topological entropy corresponds to the stability of quantum (classical) memory. The implications for the understanding of ergodicity breaking in topological phases are discussed.     

Some variational formulas for Hausdorff dimension,topological entropy,and SRB entropy for hyperbolic dynamical systems

We derive several variational formulas for the topological entropy and SRB entropy of Axiom A flows on compact manifolds and for the Hausdorff dimension of basic sets for Axiom A diffeomorphisms on compact surfaces.     

Entropy spectrum of the D-dimensional massless topological black hole

There are exact solutions to Einstein’s equations with negative cosmological constant that represent black holes whose event horizons are manifolds of negative curvature, the so-called topological black holes. Among these solutions there is one, the massless topological black hole, whose mass is equal to zero. Hod proposes that in the semiclassical limit the asymptotic quasinormal frequencies determine the entropy spectrum of the black holes. Taking into account this proposal, we calculate the entropy spectrum of the massless topological black hole and we compare with the results on the entropy spectra of other topological black holes.     

Dual Feynman rules—Topological asymptotic freedom

Feynman-graph rules are formulated for the strong—interaction components of the topological expansion—defined as those graphs all of whose vertices are zero—entropy connected parts. These rules imply a “topological asymptotic freedom” and admit a corresponding perturbative evaluation where the zeroth order exhibits topological supersymmetry.     

Expansiveness,hyperbolicity and Hausdorff dimension

We show that there exists a simple upper bound on the dimension of a hyperbolic compact set of a dynamical system in terms of topological entropy and a uniform contraction rate on the stable and unstable manifolds. This allows us to give proofs of several apparently unrelated theorems.     

Formulas for the derivative and critical points of topological entropy for Anosov and geodesic flows

This paper represents part of a program to understand the behavior of topological entropy for Anosov and geodesic flows. In this paper, we have two goals. First we obtain some regularity results forC ¹ perturbations. Second, and more importantly, we obtain explicit formulas for the derivative of topological entropy. These formulas allow us to characterize the critical points of topological entropy on the space of negatively curved metrics.Partially supported by NSF grant DMS-8514630Chaim Weizmann Research Fellow and NSF postdoctoral Research Fellow

The Entropy Formula for SRB-Measures of Lattice Dynamical Systems

We give a detailed proof of the entropy formula for SRB-measures of coupled hyperbolic attractors over integer lattices. We show that the topological pressure for the potential function of the SRB-measure is zero.     

Detecting topological order in a ground state wave function

A large class of topological orders can be understood and classified using the string-net condensation picture. These topological orders can be characterized by a set of data (N, di, F(lmn)(ijk), delta(ijk). We describe a way to detect this kind of topological order using only the ground state wave function. The method involves computing a quantity called the "topological entropy" which directly measures the total quantum dimension D= Sum(id2i).     

Pure Point Diffraction Implies Zero Entropy for Delone Sets with Uniform Cluster Frequencies

Delone sets of finite local complexity in Euclidean space are investigated. We show that such a set has patch counting and topological entropy zero if it has uniform cluster frequencies and is pure point diffractive. We also note that the patch counting entropy vanishes whenever the repetitivity function satisfies a certain growth restriction.      

Transition to topological chaos for circle maps

Many biperiodic flows can be modelled by maps of a circle to itself. For such maps the transition from zero to positive topological entropy can be achieved in several ways. We describe all the possible routes for smooth circle maps, and discuss the relevance of our results to the transition to chaos for two-frequency systems.     

Complexity lower bounds for polygonal billiards

Polygonal billiards have zero topological entropy. Complexity is a finer measure of their asymptotic behavior. In this article we show an explicit quadratic lower bound for the complexity of the billiard in an arbitrary polygon. (c) 1998 American Institute of Physics.     

The growth rate for the number of singular and periodic orbits for a polygonal billiard

For any simply connected polygon in the plane, the number of billiard orbits which begin and end at a vertex grows subexponentially with respect to the length or to the number of reflections. This implies that the numbers of isolated periodic orbits and of families of parallel periodic orbits do grow subexponentially. The main technical device is a calculation showing that the topological entropy of the Poincaré map for the billiard flow is equal to zero.Supported in part by NSF Grant #DMS-8414400     

Skein theory and topological quantum registers: Braiding matrices and topological entanglement entropy of non-Abelian quantum Hall states

We study topological properties of quasi-particle states in the non-Abelian quantum Hall states. We apply a skein-theoretic method to the Read-Rezayi state whose effective theory is the SU(2)_K Chern-Simons theory. As a generalization of the Pfaffian (K = 2) and the Fibonacci (K = 3) anyon states, we compute the braiding matrices of quasi-particle states with arbitrary spins. Furthermore we propose a method to compute the entanglement entropy skein-theoretically. We find that the entanglement entropy has a nontrivial contribution called the topological entanglement entropy which depends on the quantum dimension of non-Abelian quasi-particle intertwining two subsystems.     

Quantifying chaos for ecological stoichiometry

The theory of ecological stoichiometry considers ecological interactions among species with different chemical compositions. Both experimental and theoretical investigations have shown the importance of species composition in the outcome of the population dynamics. A recent study of a theoretical three-species food chain model considering stoichiometry [B. Deng and I. Loladze, Chaos 17, 033108 (2007)] shows that coexistence between two consumers predating on the same prey is possible via chaos. In this work we study the topological and dynamical measures of the chaotic attractors found in such a model under ecological relevant parameters. By using the theory of symbolic dynamics, we first compute the topological entropy associated with unimodal Poincare? return maps obtained by Deng and Loladze from a dimension reduction. With this measure we numerically prove chaotic competitive coexistence, which is characterized by positive topological entropy and positive Lyapunov exponents, achieved when the first predator reduces its maximum growth rate, as happens at increasing δ1. However, for higher values of δ1 the dynamics become again stable due to an asymmetric bubble-like bifurcation scenario. We also show that a decrease in the efficiency of the predator sensitive to prey's quality (increasing parameter ζ) stabilizes the dynamics. Finally, we estimate the fractal dimension of the chaotic attractors for the stoichiometric ecological model.     

The Generalized Milnor–Thurston Conjecture and Equal Topological Entropy Class in Symbolic Dynamics of Order Topological Space of Three Letters

This paper presents an answer to an open problem in the dynamical systems of three letters: the generalized Milnor–Thurston conjecture on the existence of infinitely many plateaus of topological entropy in the two-dimensional parameter plane. The concept of equal topological entropy class is introduced by the dual star product which is a generalization of the Derrida–Gervois–Pomeau star product to the symbolic dynamics of three letters for the endomorphisms on the interval. The algebraic rules established by the dual star products for the doubly superstable kneading sequences are equivalent to the normal factorization of the Milnor–Thurston characteristic polynomials. Moreover, the classification theory of symbolic primitive and compound sequences based on the topological conjugacy in the meaning of equal entropy is completed in the topological space Σ₃ of three letters.

Dimension and Dynamical Entropy for Metrized <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">*</Emphasis></Superscript>-Algebras

 We introduce notions of dimension and dynamical entropy for unital C ^* -algebras ``metrized' by means of , which are complex-scalar versions of the Lip-norms constitutive of Rieffel's compact quantum metric spaces. Our examples involve the UHF algebras and noncommutative tori. In particular we show that the entropy of a noncommutative toral automorphism with respect to the canonical coincides with the topological entropy of its commutative analogue.
