Narrow Results

Vortex lines of electromagnetic field are classified by Hopf index, Brouwer degree in geometry. A mechanism of generation or annihilation of the vortex line is given by method of phase singularity theory. The bifurcation behavior at the critical points is discussed in detail.

The topological solutions of the De Broglie–Bohm quantum mechanics are presented. Starting from the Schrödinger equation for one particle system and ϕ-mapping topological current theory, the trajectory of the particle is derived explicitly, and can be used as the world line of the particle. The world line is just at the zero point of the wave function and it is shown that the vorticity of the world line can be expressed by Hopf index and Brouwer degree. The evolution of the world line at the bifurcation point is given.

Usually, in order to investigate the evolution of a theory, one may find the critical points of the system and then perform perturbations around these critical points to see whether they are stable or not. This local method is very useful when the initial values of the dynamical variables are not far away from the critical points. Essentially, the nonlinear effects are totally neglected in such kind of approach. Therefore, one cannot tell whether the dynamical system will evolute to the stable critical points or not when the initial values of the variables do not close enough to these critical points. Furthermore, when there are two or more stable critical points in the system, local analysis cannot provide the information on which the system will finally evolute to. In this paper, we have further developed the nullcline method to study the bifurcation phenomenon and global dynamical behavior of the f(T) theory. We overcome the shortcoming of local analysis. And, it is very clear to see the evolution of the system under any initial conditions.

This work deals with dynamical system analysis of Holographic Dark Energy (HDE) cosmological model with different infra-red (IR)-cutoff. By suitable transformation of variables, the Einstein field equations are converted to an autonomous system. The critical points are determined and the stability of the equilibrium points are examined by Center Manifold Theory and Lyapunov function method. Possible bifurcation scenarios have also been explained.

In this work, cosmological implications of a non-canonical scalar field model have been studied in the background of homogeneous and isotropic flat FLRW spacetime by using dynamical system analysis. By suitable change of variables, the field equations are transformed to an autonomous system and the stability of the system of critical points are examined. For hyperbolic critical points, the analysis of the system is done by using Hartman–Grobman theorem, while the center manifold theory is used to study non-hyperbolic critical points. It is found that the parameters in the autonomous system play a crucial role for phase transition of the Universe. Finally, possible bifurcation scenarios are discussed to identify the point of phase transition.
