Some properties of biwave maps

We study biwave maps and equivariant biwave maps. We obtain the formulations for equivariant biwave maps into various spaces by applying eigenmaps between spheres. We compute the biwave fields of inclusions into warped product manifolds and construct examples of biwave maps. We finally investigate the stress bi-energy tensors and the conservation laws of biwave maps.     

Liouville theorem for pseudoharmonic maps from Sasakian manifolds

In this paper, we derive a sub-gradient estimate for pseudoharmonic maps from noncompact complete Sasakian manifolds which satisfy the CR sub-Laplace comparison property, to simply-connected Riemannian manifolds with nonpositive sectional curvature. As its application, we obtain some Liouville theorems for pseudoharmonic maps. In the Appendix, we modify the method and apply it to harmonic maps from noncompact complete Sasakian manifolds.     

Black Holes, Ellipsoids, and Nonlinear Waves in Pseudo-Finsler Spaces and Einstein Gravity

We model pseudo-Finsler geometries, with pseudo-Euclidean signatures of metrics, for two classes of four dimensional nonholonomic manifolds: (a) tangent bundles with two dimensional base manifolds and (b) pseudo-Riemannian/Einstein spaces. Such spacetimes are enabled with nonholonomic distributions and theirs metrics are solutions of the field equations in general relativity and/or generalizations. We rewrite the Schwarzschild metric in Finsler variables and use it for generating new classes of black hole objects with stationary deformations to ellipsoidal configurations. The conditions are analyzed when such metrics describe embedding of black hole solutions into nontrivial solitonic backgrounds.     

Intersection properties of invariant manifolds in certain twist maps

We consider the spaceN ofC ² twist maps that satisfy the following requirements. The action is the sum of a purely quadratic term and a periodic potential times a constantk (hereafter called the nonlinearity). The potential restricted to the unit circle is bimodal, i.e. has one local minimum and one local maximum. The following statements are proven for maps inN with nonlinearityk large enough. The intersection of the unstable and stable invariant manifolds to the hyperbolic minimizing periodic points contains minimizing homoclinic points. Consider two finite pieces of these manifolds that connect two adjacent homoclinic minimizing points (hereafter called fundamental domains). We prove that all such fundamental domains have precisely one point in their intersection (the Single Intersection theorem). In addition, we show that limit points of minimizing points are recurrent, which implies that Aubry Mather sets (with irrational rotation number) are contained in diamonds formed by local stable and unstable manifolds of nearby minimizing periodic orbits (the Diamond Configuration theorem). Another corollary concerns the intersection of the minimax orbits with certain symmetry lines of the map.     

Subprincipal Symbol for Toeplitz Operators

We establish some subprincipal estimates for Berezin–Toeplitz operators on symplectic compact manifolds. From this, we construct a family of subprincipal symbol maps and we prove that these maps are the only ones satisfying some expected conditions.     

Harmonic and Wave Maps Coupled with Einstein’s Gravitation

In this paper we discuss the coupled dynamics, following from a suitable Lagrangian, of a harmonic or wave map ? and Einstein’s gravitation described by a metric g. The main results concern energy conditions for wave maps, harmonic maps from warped product manifolds, and wave maps from wave-like Lorentzian manifolds.     

Virasoro constraints and the Chern classes of the Hodge bundle

We analyse the consequences of the Virasoro conjecture of Eguchi, Hori and Xiong for Gromov-Witten invariants, in the case of zero degree maps to the manifolds and (or more generally, smooth projective curves and smooth simply connected projective surfaces). We obtain predictions involving intersections of psi and lambda classes on . In particular, we show that the Virasoro conjecture for implies the numerical part of Faber's conjecture on the tautological Chow ring of M_g.     

Normally attracting manifolds and periodic behavior in one-dimensional and two-dimensional coupled map lattices

We consider diffusively coupled logistic maps in one- and two-dimensional lattices. We investigate periodic behaviors as the coupling parameter varies, i.e., existence and bifurcations of some periodic orbits with the largest domain of attraction. Similarity and differences between the two lattices are shown. For small coupling the periodic behavior appears to be characterized by a number of periodic orbits structured in such a way to give rise to distinct, reverse period-doubling sequences. For intermediate values of the coupling a prominent role in the dynamics is played by the presence of normally attracting manifolds that contain periodic orbits. The dynamics on these manifolds is very weakly hyperbolic, which implies long transients. A detailed investigation allows the understanding of the mechanism of their formation. A complex bifurcation is found which causes an attracting manifold to become unstable. (c) 1994 American Institute of Physics.     

Heteroclinic bifurcations and chaotic transport in the two-harmonic standard map

We study a two-parameter family of standard maps: the so-called two-harmonic family. In particular, we study the areas of lobes formed by the stable and unstable manifolds. Variational methods are used to find heteroclinic orbits and their action. A specific pair of heteroclinic orbits is used to define a difference in action function and to study bifurcations in the stable and unstable manifolds. Using this idea, two phenomena are studied: the change of orientation of lobes and tangential intersections of stable and unstable manifolds.     

Chaos and unpredictability in evolutionary dynamics in discrete time

A discrete-time version of the replicator equation for two-strategy games is studied. The stationary properties differ from those of continuous time for sufficiently large values of the parameters, where periodic and chaotic behavior replace the usual fixed-point population solutions. We observe the familiar period-doubling and chaotic-band-splitting attractor cascades of unimodal maps but in some cases more elaborate variations appear due to bimodality. Also unphysical stationary solutions can have unusual physical implications, such as the uncertainty of the final population caused by sensitivity to initial conditions and fractality of attractor preimage manifolds.     

Harmonic maps and stability on locally conformal Kähler manifolds

We study harmonic and pluriharmonic maps on locally conformal Kähler manifolds. We prove that there are no nonconstant holomorphic pluriharmonic maps from a locally conformal Kähler manifold to a Kähler manifold and that any holomorphic harmonic map from a compact locally conformal Kähler manifold to a Kähler manifold is stable.     

Wavefunction statistics using scar states

We describe the statistics of chaotic wavefunctions near periodic orbits using a basis of states which optimise the effect of scarring. These states reflect the underlying structure of stable and unstable manifolds in phase space and provide a natural means of characterising scarring effects in individual wavefunctions as well as their collective statistical properties. In particular, these states may be used to find scarring in regions of the spectrum normally associated with antiscarring and suggest a characterisation of templates for scarred wavefunctions which vary over the spectrum. The results are applied to quantum maps and billiard systems.     

Classification of Invariant Star Products up to Equivariant Morita Equivalence on Symplectic Manifolds

In this paper we investigate equivariant Morita theory for algebras with momentum maps and compute the equivariant Picard groupoid in terms of the Picard groupoid explicitly. We consider three types of Morita theory: ring-theoretic equivalence, *-equivalence, and strong equivalence. Then we apply these general considerations to star product algebras over symplectic manifolds with a Lie algebra symmetry. We obtain the full classification up to equivariant Morita equivalence.     

Quantum Algebra as Deformation Symmetry

The deformation maps as well as the general algebraic maps among algebras with three generators are systematically investigated in terms of symplectic geometry and geometric quantization on 2-D manifolds, from which the explicit Hamiltonian of Heisenberg model with SU_q(2) symmetry and arbitrary spin values are given. The deformation symmetries in differential dynamical systems and the q-deformed transformations of SO(3) group in usual R³ are also discussed.     

Invariant curves,attractors, and phase diagram of a piecewise linear map with chaos

We introduce equations describing the invariant curves associated with periodic points in a wide class of two-dimensional invertible maps, which in the special case of the mapT(x, z)=(1?a¦x¦+bz,x) can be solved by analytical methods. In the dissipative case several branches of the separatrices of the fixed points, as well as, of the period-2 and -4 points, are constructed. The regions of the parameter space where a given type of strange attractor exists are located. We point out that the disappearance of homoclinic intersections between the separatrices of the fixed point and that of heteroclinic intersections between the unstable manifolds of the period-2 points and the stable manifold of the fixed point may occur separately, and the latter leads already to the appearance of a two-piece strange attractor. This phenomenon may happen at weak dissipation in other maps, too. In the conservative caseb=1 separatrices and certain invariant tori are calculated.     

Wall-Crossing,Free Fermions and Crystal Melting

We describe wall-crossing for local, toric Calabi-Yau manifolds without compact four-cycles, in terms of free fermions, vertex operators, and crystal melting. Firstly, to each such manifold we associate two states in the free fermion Hilbert space. The overlap of these states reproduces the BPS partition function corresponding to the non-commutative Donaldson-Thomas invariants, given by the modulus square of the topological string partition function. Secondly, we introduce the wall-crossing operators which represent crossing the walls of marginal stability associated to changes of the B-field through each two-cycle in the manifold. BPS partition functions in non-trivial chambers are given by the expectation values of these operators. Thirdly, we discuss crystal interpretation of such correlators for this whole class of manifolds. We describe evolution of these crystals upon a change of the moduli, and find crystal interpretation of the flop transition and the DT/PT transition. The crystals which we find generalize and unify various other Calabi-Yau crystal models which appeared in literature in recent years.     

Homoclinic tangency and chaotic attractor disappearance in a dripping faucet experiment

A sequence of attractors, reconstructed from interdrops time series data of a leaky faucet experiment, is analyzed as a function of the mean dripping rate. We established the presence of a saddle point and its manifolds in the attractors and we explained the dynamical changes in the system using the evolution of the manifolds of the saddle point, as suggested by the orbits traced in first return maps. The sequence starts at a fixed point and evolves to an invariant torus of increasing diameter (a Hopf bifurcation) that pushes the unstable manifold towards the stable one. The torus breaks up and the system shows a chaotic attractor bounded by the unstable manifold of the saddle. With the attractor expansion the unstable manifold becomes tangential to the stable one, giving rise to the sudden disappearance of the chaotic attractor, which is an experimental observation of a so called chaotic blue sky catastrophe.

Energy landscapes in random systems, driven interfaces, and wetting

We discuss the zero-temperature susceptibility of elastic manifolds with quenched randomness. It diverges with system size due to low-lying local minima. The distribution of energy gaps is deduced to be constant in the limit of vanishing gaps by comparing numerics with a probabilistic argument. The typical manifold response arises from a level-crossing phenomenon and implies that wetting in random systems begins with a discrete transition. The associated "jump field" scales as approximately L-5/3 and L-2.2 for (1+1) and (2+1) dimensional manifolds with random bond disorder.     

Minimal curvature trajectories: Riemannian geometry concepts for slow manifold computation in chemical kinetics

In dissipative ordinary differential equation systems different time scales cause anisotropic phase volume contraction along solution trajectories. Model reduction methods exploit this for simplifying chemical kinetics via a time scale separation into fast and slow modes. The aim is to approximate the system dynamics with a dimension-reduced model after eliminating the fast modes by enslaving them to the slow ones via computation of a slow attracting manifold. We present a novel method for computing approximations of such manifolds using trajectory-based optimization. We discuss Riemannian geometry concepts as a basis for suitable optimization criteria characterizing trajectories near slow attracting manifolds and thus provide insight into fundamental geometric properties of multiple time scale chemical kinetics. The optimization criteria correspond to a suitable mathematical formulation of “minimal relaxation” of chemical forces along reaction trajectories under given constraints. We present various geometrically motivated criteria and the results of their application to four test case reaction mechanisms serving as examples. We demonstrate that accurate numerical approximations of slow invariant manifolds can be obtained.
