Separatrix Reconnections in Chaotic Regimes

Abstract

In this paper we extend the concept of separatrix reconnection into chaotic regimes. We show that even under chaotic conditions one can still understand abrupt jumps of diffusive-like processes in the relevant phase-space in terms of relatively smooth realignments of stable and unstable manifolds of unstable fixed points.
