2 What do you want to know about What do you want to know about these systems?these systems?
•No ergodicity need to understand the mechanisms in phase space
governing….
•Dynamics of reaction, e.g. rates, reaction paths. Generally, how does the
reaction proceed?
•Phase space geometry of reaction, e.g. what parts of phase space
participate in reaction? (important for “sampling strategies,” importance
sampling)
•???Control??? (beyond a “black box” approach)
3 Can’t you answer these questions Can’t you answer these questions with existing methods? What with existing methods? What motivates “new methods?”motivates “new methods?”
•Many methods require assumptions on the dynamics to “get an answer,” e.g. RRKM Theory, umbrella sampling,… When are such assumptions valid?
•Some sampling methods involve “modification of the dynamics” in order to overcome the “rare event problem.” What are the mechanisms in phase spaceWhat are the mechanisms in phase space
underlying underlying “rare events,”“rare events,” “multiple time scales, ” “memory?”“multiple time scales, ” “memory?”
•Motivation: Motivation: new experimental techniques, advances in laser spectroscopy, single molecule methods, yield real time dynamical information (complex systems have complex dynamics)

6 What can dynamical systems theory do for What can dynamical systems theory do for you?you?
• Provides the framework for answering these questions—
dynamics: phase space:mechanism
(cannot deduce dynamics from the topology of the potential energy landscape)
• Classify trajectories in terms of “qualitatively different behaviour,” e.g. reactive vs. non-reactive, fast slow time-scales,
with invariant manifold techniques
• Provide new, and more efficient, computational methods (based on exact dynamics) for computing reaction rates, reaction paths, understanding “rare events,” and incorporating and quantifying quantum mechanical effects

• Construct “dividing surfaces” with no (local) re-crossing and minimal flux.
• These dividing surfaces “locally separate” the energy surface
• These dividing surfaces are hemispheres of a (2n-2)d sphere (on an energy
surface), whose “equator” is a (2n-3)d sphere that is a NHIM
• Transport between components of the energy surface can only occur
through the stable and unstable manifolds of the NHIM, which have the
geometrical structure of “spherical cylinders,”
• All of these geometrical structures can be realized through computationally
efficient algorithms

20 SummarySummary• Advances in theory, and the implementation of algorithms, enables
the treatment of high dimensional problems
• Dynamical systems theory provides a “dynamically exact” reaction rate theory (“transition state theory”)
• From the dynamical systems framework we obtain a formula for the reactive volume which is more computationally efficient than classical Monte Carlo approaches
• New notion of “dynamical reaction path” that respects the exact dynamics
• Heteroclinic and homoclinic orbits as the skeleton of “rare events,”
“routes to transition,” “dynamical memory”
• The geometrical structures in phase space provide the framework for the quantum description
