We construct one-dimensional nonlinear lattices having the special property such that the Umklapp process vanishes and only the normal processes are included in the potential functions. We study heat transport in these lattices by non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation. It is shown that the ballistic heat transport occurs, i.e., the scaling law $kappapropto N$ holds between the thermal conductivity $kappa$ and the lattice size $N$. This result directly validates Peierlss hypothesis that only the Umklapp processes can cause the thermal resistance while the normal one do not.

In d-dimensional lattices of coupled quantum harmonic oscillators, we analyze the heat current caused by two thermal baths of different temperature, which are coupled to opposite ends of the lattice, with focus on the validity of Fouriers law of heat conduction. We provide analytical solutions of the heat current through the quantum system in the non-equilibrium steady state using the rotating-wave approximation and bath interactions described by a master equation of Lindblad form. The influence of local dephasing in the transition of ballistic to diffusive transport is investigated.
We show that the generalized diffusion coefficient of a subdiffusive intermittent map is a fractal function of control parameters. A modified continuous time random walk theory yields its coarse functional form and correctly describes a dynamical phase transition from normal to anomalous diffusion marked by strong suppression of diffusion. Similarly, the probability density of moving particles is governed by a time-fractional diffusion equation on coarse scales while exhibiting a specific fine structure. Approximations beyond stochastic theory are derived from a generalized Taylor-Green-Kubo formula.
The spatiotemporal dynamics of Lyapunov vectors (LVs) in spatially extended chaotic systems is studied by means of coupled-map lattices. We determine intrinsic length scales and spatiotemporal correlations of LVs corresponding to the leading unstable directions by translating the problem to the language of scale-invariant growing surfaces. We find that the so-called characteristic LVs exhibit spatial localization, strong clustering around given spatiotemporal loci, and remarkable dynamic scaling properties of the corresponding surfaces. In contrast, the commonly used backward LVs (obtained through Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization) spread all over the system and do not exhibit dynamic scaling due to artifacts in the dynamical correlations by construction.
We formulate and study a low-order nonlinear coupled ocean-atmosphere model with an emphasis on the impact of radiative and heat fluxes and of the frictional coupling between the two components. This model version extends a previous 24-variable version by adding a dynamical equation for the passive advection of temperature in the ocean, together with an energy balance model. The bifurcation analysis and the numerical integration of the model reveal the presence of low-frequency variability (LFV) concentrated on and near a long-periodic, attracting orbit. This orbit combines atmospheric and oceanic modes, and it arises for large values of the meridional gradient of radiative input and of frictional coupling. Chaotic behavior develops around this orbit as it loses its stability; this behavior is still dominated by the LFV on decadal and multi-decadal time scales that is typical of oceanic processes. Atmospheric diagnostics also reveals the presence of predominant low- and high-pressure zones, as well as of a subtropical jet; these features recall realistic climatological properties of the oceanic atmosphere. Finally, a predictability analysis is performed. Once the decadal-scale periodic orbits develop, the coupled systems short-term instabilities --- as measured by its Lyapunov exponents --- are drastically reduced, indicating the oceans stabilizing role on the atmospheric dynamics. On decadal time scales, the recurrence of the solution in a certain region of the invariant subspace associated with slow modes displays some extended predictability, as reflected by the oscillatory behavior of the error for the atmospheric variables at long lead times.
The ballistic to diffusive crossover, that occurs when quasiparticles transport heat or charge, is important in small systems. Propagation of energy from an initial localized pulse provides a useful picture of the process. This paper looks at the simplest example, vibrational pulses on a one-dimensional harmonic chain of atoms. Pure ballistic propagation occurs in ordered chains, and a crossover toward diffusive propagation can be seen in disordered chains. A full analysis is inhibited by non-perturbative effects, especially Anderson localization. A partial analysis using Boltzmann theory is given.
