Using a homotopic family of boundary eigenvalue problems for the mean-field $alpha^2$-dynamo with helical turbulence parameter $alpha(r)=alpha_0+gammaDeltaalpha(r)$ and homotopy parameter $beta in [0,1]$, we show that the underlying network of diabolical points for Dirichlet (idealized, $beta=0$) boundary conditions substantially determines the choreography of eigenvalues and thus the character of the dynamo instability for Robin (physically realistic, $beta=1$) boundary conditions. In the $(alpha_0,beta,gamma)-$space the Arnold tongues of oscillatory solutions at $beta=1$ end up at the diabolical points for $beta=0$. In the vicinity of the diabolical points the space orientation of the 3D tongues, which are cones in first-order approximation, is determined by the Krein signature of the modes involved in the diabolical crossings at the apexes of the cones. The Krein space induced geometry of the resonance zones explains the subtleties in finding $alpha$-profiles leading to spectral exceptional points, which are important ingredients in recent theories of polarity reversals of the geomagnetic field.

Nonlinear oscillator systems are ubiquitous in biology and physics, and their control is a practical problem in many experimental systems. Here we study this problem in the context of the two models of spatially-coupled oscillators: the complex Ginzb
urg-Landau equation (CGLE) and a generalization of the CGLE in which oscillators are coupled through an external medium (emCGLE). We focus on external control drives that vary in both space and time. We find that the spatial distribution of the drive signal controls the frequency ranges over which oscillators synchronize to the drive and that boundary conditions strongly influence synchronization to external drives for the CGLE. Our calculations also show that the emCGLE has a low density regime in which a broad range of frequencies can be synchronized for low drive amplitudes. We study the bifurcation structure of these models and find that they are very similar to results for the driven Kuramoto model, a system with no spatial structure. We conclude by discussing the implications of our results for controlling coupled oscillator systems such as the social amoebae emph{Dictyostelium} and populations of BZ catalytic particles using spatially structured external drives.
Two concepts, very different in nature, have proved to be useful in analytical and numerical studies of spectral stability: (i) the Krein signature of an eigenvalue, a quantity usually defined in terms of the relative orientation of certain subspaces
that is capable of detecting the structural instability of imaginary eigenvalues and hence their potential for moving into the right half-plane leading to dynamical instability under perturbation of the system, and (ii) the Evans function, an analytic function detecting the location of eigenvalues. One might expect these two concepts to be related, but unfortunately examples demonstrate that there is no way in general to deduce the Krein signature of an eigenvalue from the Evans function. The purpose of this paper is to recall and popularize a simple graphical interpretation of the Krein signature well-known in the spectral theory of polynomial operator pencils. This interpretation avoids altogether the need to view the Krein signature in terms of root subspaces and their relation to indefinite quadratic forms. To demonstrate the utility of this graphical interpretation of the Krein signature, we use it to define a simple generalization of the Evans function -- the Evans-Krein function -- that allows the calculation of Krein signatures in a way that is easy to incorporate into existing Evans function evaluation codes at virtually no additional computational cost. The graphical Krein signature also enables us to give elegant proofs of index theorems for linearized Hamiltonians in the finite dimensional setting: a general result implying as a corollary the generalized Vakhitov-Kolokolov criterion (or Grillakis-Shatah-Strauss criterion) and a count of real eigenvalues for linearized Hamiltonian systems in canonical form. These applications demonstrate how the simple graphical nature of the Krein signature may be easily exploited.
We study the connection between spherical wedge and full spherical shell geometries using simple mean-field $alpha^2$ dynamos. We solve the equations for a one-dimensional time-dependent mean-field dynamo to examine the effects of varying the polar a
ngle $theta_0$ between the latitudinal boundaries and the poles in spherical coordinates. We investigate the effects of turbulent magnetic diffusivity and $alpha$ effect profiles as well as different latitudinal boundary conditions to isolate parameter regimes where oscillatory solutions are found. Finally, we add shear along with a damping term mimicking radial gradients to study the resulting dynamo regimes. We find that the commonly used perfect conductor boundary condition leads to oscillatory $alpha^2$ dynamo solutions only if the wedge boundary is at least one degree away from the poles. Other boundary conditions always produce stationary solutions. By varying the profile of the turbulent magnetic diffusivity alone, oscillatory solutions are achieved with models extending to the poles, but the magnetic field is strongly concentrated near the poles and the oscillation period is very long. By introducing radial shear and a damping term mimicking radial gradients, we again see oscillatory dynamos, and the direction of drift follows the Parker--Yoshimura rule. Oscillatory solutions in the weak shear regime are found only in the wedge case with $theta_0 = 1^circ$ and perfect conductor boundaries. A reduced $alpha$ effect near the poles with a turbulent diffusivity concentrated toward the equator yields oscillatory dynamos with equatorward migration and reproduces best the solutions in spherical wedges.
We study magnetic field evolution in flows with fluctuating in time governing parameters in electrically conducting fluid. We use a standard mean-field approach to derive equations for large-scale magnetic field for the fluctuating ABC-flow as well a
s for the fluctuating Roberts flow. The derived mean-field dynamo equations have growing solutions with growth rate of the large-scale magnetic field which is not controlled by molecular magnetic diffusivity. Our study confirms the Zeldovich idea that the nonstationarity of the fluid flow may remove the obstacle in large-scale dynamo action of classic stationary flows.
In this paper we first discuss observational evidence of longitudinal concentrations of magnetic activity in the Sun and rapidly rotating late-type stars with outer convective envelopes. Scenarios arising from the idea of rotationally influenced anis
otropic convective turbulence being the key physical process generating these structures are then presented and discussed - such effects include the turbulent dynamo mechanism, negative effective magnetic pressure instability (NEMPI) and hydrodynamical vortex instability. Finally, we discuss non-axisymmetric stellar mean-field dynamo models, the results obtained with them, and compare those with the observational information gathered up so far. We also present results from a pure alpha-squared mean-field dynamo model, which show that time-dependent behavior of the dynamo solutions can occur both in the form of an azimuthal dynamo wave and/or oscillatory behavior related to the alternating energy levels of the active longitudes.
