Meanders, zero numbers and the cell structure of Sturm global attractors |
We overview recent results on the geometric and combinatorial characterization of global attractors of semiflows generated by scalar semilinear partial parabolic differential equations under Neumann boundary conditions. This is a joint work with B. Fiedler.

Reaction coordinates (order parameters) for metastable systems |
| We consider non-deterministic dynamical systems showing complex metastable behavior but no local separation in fast and slow coordinates. We raise the question whether and when such systems exhibit a low-dimensional parametrization supporting their effective statistical dynamics. For answering this question, we aim at finding nonlinear coordinates, called reaction coordinates (or order parameters), such that the projection of the dynamics onto these coordinates preserves the dominant time scales of the dynamics. We show that, based on a specific reducibility property, the existence of good low-dimensional reaction coordinates preserving the dominant time scales is guaranteed. Based on this theoretical framework, we develop and test a novel numerical approach for computing good reaction coordinates. The proposed algorithmic approach is fully local and thus less prone to the curse of dimension with respect to the state space of the dynamics than global methods. Hence, it is a promising method for data-based model reduction of complex dynamical systems such as −but not only −molecular dynamics. |

A hierarchy of symmetries: Coexistence patterns of four (and more) Stuart-Landau oscillators with nonlinear global coupling |
| The symmetry of a system of globally coupled identical units is high:
For any solution, interchanging the behavior of any two elements still
guarantees a solution. A full N! permutations are possible in total,
either not changing the current solution or producing a mirror-image
equivalent in phase space.
Together, these N! permutations form a symmetry group with many
subgroups. Thus, a large number of different partially symmetric
solutions might in principle exist. Here, we study N=4 Stuart-Landau
oscillators with a particularly intriguing form of global coupling. Its
solutions indeed exhibit symmetries corresponding to many of the
subgroups of the group of all permutations. Moreover, the transitions
between these solutions, together with additional bifurcations more
subtly influcencing the symmetry, form an intriguing interconnected
hierarchy of differentiated oscillator dynamics.
We will also take a brief look at how this hierarchy develops if the
ensemble size is scaled up. |

Infinite regularization by noise |
| It is a very classical yet still surprising result that noise can have a
regularizing effect on differential equations. For example, adding a
Brownian motion to an ODE with bounded and measurable vector field leads
to a well posed equation with Lipschitz continuous flow. While the
equation without noise may have none or many solutions. Classical proofs
of such results are based on stochastic analysis and on the close link
between the Brownian motion and the heat equation. In that derivation it
is not obvious which property of the noise gives the regularization. A
more recent approach by Catellier and Gubinelli leads to pathwise
conditions under which regularization occurs. I will present a
simplified version of their approach and use it to construct (very
irregular) paths which are infinitely regularizing: after adding them to
an ODE we have a unique solution and an infinitely smooth flow - even if
the vector field is only a tempered distribution. This is joint work
with Fabian Harang. |
