Abstract

The core of this paper is a novel group-theoretical approach, initiated in 2015 by one of the present authors in collaboration with Alexander Sorin, which allows for a more systematic classification and algorithmic construction of Beltrami flows on torii $\mathbb{R}^3/\Lambda$ where $\Lambda$ is a crystallographic lattice. The new hydro-theory, based on the idea of a Universal Classifying Group $\mathfrak{UG}_\Lambda$, is here revised. We construct the so far missing $\mathfrak{UG}_{\Lambda_{Hex}}$ for the hexagonal lattice. Mastering the cubic and hexagonal instances, we can cover all cases. The classification relation between Beltrami Flows and contact structures is enlightened. The most promising research direction opened by the present work streams from the fact that the Fourier series expansion of a generic Navier-Stokes solution can be regrouped into an infinite sum of contributions $\mathbf{W}_r$, each associated with a spherical layer of quantized radius $r$ in the momentum lattice and consisting of a superposition of a Beltrami and an anti-Beltrami field, with an analogous decomposition into irreps of the group $\mathfrak{UG}_\Lambda$ that are variously repeated on higher layers. This crucial property enables the construction of generic Fourier series with prescribed hidden symmetries as candidate solutions of the NS equations. As a further result of this research programme a complete and versatile system of MATHEMATICA Codes named \textbf{AlmafluidaNSPsystem} has been constructed and is now available through the site of the Wolfram Community. The main message streaming from our constructions is that the more symmetric the Beltrami Flow the highest is the probability of the onset of chaotic trajectories.

Linear Response Predicts Cusp-Pair Births in Networks with a Localized Cubic

Linear response is cheap to measure; the bistability boundaries it organizes are not. For a passive network with one localized cubic, the driving-point receptance $G$ fixes the period-one cusp set at fundamental-harmonic order: cusps lie on a fixed phase contour of $G$, a tangency of that contour under parameter variation creates a pair, and its curvature separates a gap opening from an isolated loop. For a two-mode absorber the linear prediction locates a benchmark birth coupling to $0.3\%$, and to $0.03\%$ once a third-harmonic correction of scale $|G(3\Omega)/G(\Omega)|$ is included.

Dynamics Creation through Neural Dynamical Transfer Learning

Data-driven machine learning has established a robust foundation for reconstructing nonlinear dynamical systems from observations, primarily for the purposes of forecasting and control. However, most existing efforts focus on recovering specific observed dynamics rather than the generative synthesis of new ones. Inspired by image fusion and style transfer, we introduce a neural network framework termed Neural Dynamical Transfer Learning (NDTL) to create new systems with prescribed dynamics from pairs of parent nonlinear dynamical systems. By computing fundamental dynamical signatures, including the intrinsic dimension, the Kaplan-Yorke dimension, the invariant measure statistics, and the Lyapunov spectrum, we demonstrate that NDTL preserves key features inherited from the parent models while simultaneously generating novel dynamics. Beyond these validation examples, NDTL induces a criterion for dynamics classification, creates stable oscillatory coexistence in the Hastings-Powell food chain model, produces interpretable epidemiological models, and provides a chaotic source for image encryption.

The Spectral Skeleton of Chaos: Koopman Wave Packets on Poincar\'e Sections

A Poincar\'e section replaces a flow by a return map, but for a chaotic system this map is usually known only from sampled crossings. We show that coarse transport can be read directly from Koopman spectral data, without fitting the map. Measure-preserving EDMD retains the isometric structure; riggedDMD then approximates spectral measures and constructs finite regularized wave packets. Packet phase supplies a finite-resolution transport coordinate; low modulus marks a singular skeleton where the phase becomes ill-conditioned. We demonstrate the idea on the R\"ossler system, a 32-mode Kuramoto--Sivashinsky Galerkin system, and the forced Duffing oscillator. The packets yield coarse symbolic models on sections ranging from an almost one-dimensional curve to a visibly thick set. Their graphs organize observed low-period orbits and guide targeted searches for others. In Duffing Regime~II, a seven-region rule accounts for $91\%$--$94\%$ of filtered one-step transitions, while failures in the lowest retained modulus decile occur at $5.08$--$5.20$ times the overall rate. The packets are not Koopman eigenfunctions, nor are the regions exact Markov partitions. Together these computations show how spectral information beyond isolated eigenpairs can expose chaotic transport directly from trajectories.
