Hyperbolic chaos in a system of resonantly coupled weakly nonlinear oscillators

We show that a hyperbolic chaos can be observed in resonantly coupled oscillators near a Hopf bifurcation, described by normal-form-type equations for complex amplitudes. The simplest example consists of four oscillators, comprising two alternatively activated, due to an external periodic modulation, pairs. In terms of the stroboscopic Poincaré map, the phase differences change according to an expanding Bernoulli map that depends on the coupling type. Several examples of hyperbolic chaos for different types of coupling are illustrated numerically.     

Comment on “Delayed luminescence of biological systems in terms of coherent states” [Phys. Lett. A 293 (2002) 93]

Popp and Yan [F.A. Popp, Y. Yan, Phys. Lett. A 293 (2002) 93] proposed a model for delayed luminescence based on a single time-dependent coherent state. We show that the general solution of their model corresponds to a luminescence that is a linear function of time. Therefore, their model is not compatible with experimental delayed luminescence. Moreover, the functions that they use to describe the oscillatory behaviour of delayed luminescence are not solutions of the coupling equations to be solved.     

A note on weakly hyperbolic equations with analytic principal part

In this note we show how to include low order terms in the C^∞$C^{\infty }$ well-posedness results for weakly hyperbolic equations with analytic time-dependent coefficients. This is achieved by doing a different reduction to a system from the previously used one. We find the Levi conditions such that the C^∞$C^{\infty }$ well-posedness continues to hold.     

On the generalized Weyl problem for flat metrics in the hyperbolic 3-space

The paper deals with the study of complete embedded flat surfaces in H³${\mathbb{H}}^3$ with a finite number of isolated singularities. We give a detailed information about its topology, conformal type and metric properties. We show how to solve the generalized Weyl?s problem of realizing isometrically any complete flat metric with Euclidean singularities in H³${\mathbb{H}}^3$ which gives the existence of complete embedded flat surfaces with a finite arbitrary number of isolated singularities.     

The Schauder fixed point theorem in geodesic spaces

We give a direct proof of Schauder's fixed point theorem in the setting of geodesic metric spaces, generalizing the classical Schauder's theorem and improving a recent version of this theorem in CAT(κ)$\mathrm{CAT}(\kappa )$ spaces. As an application we prove an existence result for a variational inequality in the setting of CAT(κ)$\mathrm{CAT}(\kappa )$ spaces.     

Stability of hyperbolic manifolds with cusps under Ricci flow

We show that every finite volume hyperbolic manifold of dimension greater than or equal to 3 is stable under rescaled Ricci flow, i.e. that every small perturbation of the hyperbolic metric flows back to the hyperbolic metric again. Note that we do not need to make any decay assumptions on this perturbation.     

The Hopf Property for Subgroups of Hyperbolic Groups

A group is said to be Hopfian if every surjective endomorphism of the group is injective. We show that finitely generated subgroups of torsion-free hyperbolic groups are Hopfian. Our proof generalizes a theorem of Sela (Topology 35 (2) 1999, 301–321).
