Random band matrix approach to chaotic scattering: the average $S$-matrix and its pole distribution
Random band matrices relevant for open chaotic systems are introduced and studied. The scattering model based on such matrices may serve for the description of preequilibrium chaotic scattering. In the limit of a large number of open channels we calculate the average $S$-matrix and $S$-matrix's pole distribution which ...

Lindstedt series, ultraviolet divergences and Moser's theorem
Moser's invariant tori for a class of nonanalytic quasi integrable even hamiltonian systems are shown to be analytic in the perturbation parameter. We do so by exhibiting a summation rule for the divergent series (``Lindstedt series") that formally define them. We find additional cancellations taking place in the forma...

Maximal Lyapunov exponent at Crises
We study the variation of Lyapunov exponents of simple dynamical systems near attractor-widening and attractor-merging crises. The largest Lyapunov exponent has universal behaviour, showing abrupt variation as a function of the control parameter as the system passes through the crisis point, either in the value itself,...

Semiquantum Chaos in the Double-Well
The new phenomenon of semiquantum chaos is analyzed in a classically regular double-well oscillator model. Here it arises from a doubling of the number of effectively classical degrees of freedom, which are nonlinearly coupled in a Gaussian variational approximation (TDHF) to full quantum mechanics. The resulting first...

Direct Interaction Approximation of Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence
In this paper we apply Kraichnan's direct interaction approximation, which is a one loop perturbation expansion, to magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. By substituting the energy spectra both from kolmogorov-like MHD turbulence phenomenology and a generalization of Dobrowolny et al.'s model we obtain Kolmogorov's and Kraic...
