Homoclinic Orbits around Spinning Black Holes I: Exact Solution for the Kerr Separatrix

open access: yes, 2008
Under the dissipative effects of gravitational radiation, black hole binaries will transition from an inspiral to a plunge. The separatrix between bound and plunging orbits features prominently in the transition.

Constructing the Second Order Poincaré Map Based on the Hopf-Zero Unfolding Method

open access: yesAbstract and Applied Analysis, 2013
We investigate the Shilnikov sense homoclinicity in a 3D system and consider the dynamical behaviors in vicinity of the principal homoclinic orbit emerging from a third order simplified system.

Chaos in Static Axisymmetric Spacetimes I : Vacuum Case

open access: yes, 1996
We study the motion of test particle in static axisymmetric vacuum spacetimes and discuss two criteria for strong chaos to occur: (1) a local instability measured by the Weyl curvature, and (2) a tangle of a homoclinic orbit, which is closely related to ...

Multiplicity of Homoclinic Solutions for Fractional Hamiltonian Systems with Subquadratic Potential

open access: yesEntropy, 2017
In this paper, we study the existence of homoclinic solutions for the fractional Hamiltonian systems with left and right Liouville–Weyl derivatives. We establish some new results concerning the existence and multiplicity of homoclinic solutions for the ...

Closed geodesics and the first Betti number

open access: yesProceedings of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 131, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract We prove that, on any closed manifold of dimension at least two with non‐zero first Betti number, a C∞$C^\infty$ generic Riemannian metric has infinitely many closed geodesics, and indeed closed geodesics of arbitrarily large length. We derive this existence result combining a theorem of Mañé together with the following new theorem of ...

Scarring by homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits

open access: yes, 2006
In addition to the well known scarring effect of periodic orbits, we show here that homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits, which are cornerstones in the theory of classical chaos, also scar eigenfunctions of classically chaotic systems when associated ...

Homoclinic intersections and indecomposability [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 1987
The closure of a one-dimensional unstable manifold of a hyperbolic fixed point of a diffeomorphism having homoclinic points is, under mild assumptions, shown to be an indecomposable continuum. As a result, dynamical systems possessing such behavior cannot be modeled using inverse limits based on any simple space.

Protected Chaos in a Topological Lattice

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 28, July 24, 2025.
Topological and chaotic dynamics are often considered incompatible, with one expected to dominate or disrupt the other. This work reveals that topological localization can persist even under strong chaotic dynamics and, counter‐intuitively, protect chaotic behavior.

Homoclinic Solutions for a Class of the Second-Order Impulsive Hamiltonian Systems

open access: yesAbstract and Applied Analysis, 2013
This paper is concerned with the existence of homoclinic solutions for a class of the second order impulsive Hamiltonian systems. By employing the Mountain Pass Theorem, we demonstrate that the limit of a 2kT-periodic approximation solution is a ...
