Chaotic dynamics and superdiffusion in a Hamiltonian system with many degrees of freedom

Abstract

We discuss recent results obtained for the Hamiltonian Mean Field model. The model describes a system of N fully-coupled particles in one dimension and shows a second-order phase transition from a clustered phase to a homogeneous one when the energy is increased. Strong chaos is found in correspondence to the critical point on top of a weak chaotic regime which characterizes the motion at low energies. For a small region around the critical point, we find anomalous (enhanced) diffusion and Lévy walks in a transient temporal regime before the system relaxes to equilibrium.
