Effects of memory-induced effective dimensionality on dynamical invariants and attractor geometry

Investigate how memory-induced effective dimensionality influences Lyapunov spectra, entropy production rates, and the geometry of attractors in non-Markovian chaotic systems.

Background

The paper identifies a memory-controlled transition in universality classes and derives a fractional scaling law for the largest Lyapunov exponent in a one-dimensional non-Markovian logistic map. Beyond the largest exponent, the full Lyapunov spectrum, entropy production, and attractor geometry are natural diagnostics of high-dimensional chaotic behavior.

Understanding how temporal correlations modify these invariants would extend the minimal model’s insights to richer systems where multiple expansion/contraction directions and complex attractor structures are present.

References

Several open theoretical questions arise naturally. An important direction for future work is to investigate how memory‑induced effective dimensionality affects Lyapunov spectra, entropy production, and the geometry of attractors.
