Seminar Spatiotemporal cat map blog (feb 2022) Working notes -very rough, read at your own risk, with many literature pointers- on our elegant, analytically soluble baby model of a spatiotemporally discretized chaotic field theory, on the Ising model / Ihara zeta functions literature of potential relevance to the spatiotemporal reformulation of turbulent field theories. There are many promising directions to ponder here.

Act locally, think globally, tighten the rubber band: elaborated a bit in the next two videos.
Video P Cvitanović: What do we talk about when we talk about chaos I (9:41 min, July 29, 2020) When we talk, we talk about evolving in time, derive the forward-in-time Jacobian.
Video P Cvitanović: What do we talk about when we talk about chaos II (8:40 min July 30, 2020) When we walk the walk, we determine the global orbit and its global stability, derive its orbit Jacobian.
Seminar Spatiotemporal blog (dec 2017) Working notes -very rough, read at your own risk, but with lots of literature pointers- on how to recast finding invariant solutions of the 1D Kuramoto-Sivashinsky PDE into the problem of finding spatio-temporal fixed point solutions. The point is that we have give up on finding invariant solutions by forward integration in time from specified intial conditions - instead, we have to develop variational methods to multiply-periodic solutions in spacetime. In particular, it would be very nice if someone writes a working spatiotemporal solver and runs it on some higly parallelized machine.
