Quasiperiodically forced circle maps and related systems

Tobias Oertel-Jäger

Abstract:
We give an overview over the theory of quasiperiodically forced circle maps, focusing on a generalization of Poincare's classification of circle homeomorphisms and the consequences of this result for mode-locking phenomena. Some aspects of this theory can be carried over to other areas in topolgical dynamics, including special flows, maps on 1D quasicrystals, almost-periodic scalar differential equations and other dynamical systems arising from hull constructions on the real line.

The talk is a survey about results that have been obtained with various co-authors, in particular with Gerhard Keller, Jaroslav Stark, Kristian Bjerklöv and José Aliste-Prieto.
