Lyapunov analysis captures the collective dynamics of large chaotic systems

Abstract

We show, using generic globally-coupled systems, that the collective dynamics of large chaotic systems is encoded in their Lyapunov spectra: most modes are typically localized on a few degrees of freedom, but some are delocalized, acting collectively on the trajectory. For globally-coupled maps, we show moreover a quantitative correspondence between the collective modes and some of the so-called Perron-Frobenius dynamics. Our results imply that the conventional definition of extensivity must be changed as soon as collective dynamics sets in.
