Graph-Induced Rotational Twisted States in Systems of Identical Oscillators

Abstract

In this article, we study a new class of collective motion for identical coupled Stuart-Landau oscillators on graphs. This model was previously known to converge to the synchronized state for a certain class of initial data. Here, we show that when the interaction matrix is circulant, there exists another class of attractors, in which the particles are uniformly distributed on a circle, reminiscent of the \textit{twisted states} known for the Kuramoto model, but which rotate around the origin. However, contrary to the classical Kuramoto case, here the rotation is caused by the asymmetry of the graph structure, and not by the natural frequencies. We identify conditions for the existence and local stability of the \textit{rotational twisted states}, both in the Stuart-Landau model and in the Kuramoto model. We also provide sufficient conditions for the existence and stability of the synchronized state, which can co-exist with the rotational twisted state in a certain parameter region. We provide a generalization of the class of interaction matrices able to generate rotational twisted states via leader-follower interaction matrices. We show that heterogeneous rotational twisted states can also exist for a system of heterogeneous oscillators, attracted to different individual target amplitudes. This study is accompanied by numerical simulations that illustrate the possible behaviors of the system, which also include metastable dynamics and a chimera state.

Effective equidistribution of orbits under semisimple groups on congruence quotients

We prove an effective equidistribution result for periodic orbits of semisimple groups on congruence quotients of an ambient semisimple group.This extends a previous work of Einsiedler, Margulis and Venkatesh. The main new feature is that we allow for periodic orbits of semisimple groups with nontrivial centralizer in the ambient group. Our proof uses crucially an effective closing lemma from work of the author with Lindenstrauss, Margulis,Mohammadi, and Shah.

Generalized entropy of measure-induced maps

A classical result by E. Glasner and B. Weiss states that the topological entropy of a map $f$ is zero if and only if the topological entropy of its measure-induced map $f_*$ is zero, where $f_*$ is defined as the push-forward of a measure. In this work, we use generalized entropy to distinguish the complexity of these maps and prove that the measure-induced map is much more complex than the original map. Moreover, we introduce the generalized mean dimension, an invariant that is useful for distinguishing dynamical systems with zero mean dimension, including those with the small-boundary property, and we show a relationship between this new invariant and generalized entropy.

The endpoint problem for $\varepsilon$-hypercyclicity

For a fixed $0<\varepsilon<1$, F. Bayart asked in 2024 whether there exists an operator $T$ such that, for every $0<δ<1$, $T$ is $δ$-hypercyclic if and only if $δ\in[\varepsilon,1)$. We answer this question affirmatively by constructing a weighted backward shift on $\ell_2(\mathbb N_0,\ell_2(\mathbb N_0))$ with this property.
