Deterministic Chaos vs Integrable Models

Abstract

In this work we present analytical and numerical evidences that classical integrable models possessing infinitely many degrees of freedom unexpectedly exhibit some features that are typical of chaotic systems. By studying how the conserved charges change under a small deformation of the initial conditions, we conclude that the inverse scattering map is responsible for the presence of these features, in spite of the system being integrable. We investigate this phenomenon in the explicit examples of the KdV equation and the sine-Gordon model and further provide general arguments supporting this statement.
