Dynamical Systems on Three Manifolds Part I: Knots, Links and Chaos

preprint2007arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this paper, we give an explicit construction of dynamical systems (defined within a solid torus) containing any knot (or link) and arbitrarily knotted chaos. The first is achieved by expressing the knots in terms of braids, defining a system containing the braids and extending periodically to obtain a system naturally defined on a torus and which contains the given knotted trajectories. To get explicit differential equations for dynamical systems containing the braids, we will use a certain function to define a tube neigbourhood of the braid. The second one, generating chaotic systems, is realized by modeling the Smale horseshoe.
