title: Alternating chaotic and periodic dynamics in Chern-Simons-Higgs theory with scalar magnetic interaction.
abstract: The dynamical behavior of a Chern-Simons-Higgs system is studied for the spatially homogeneous case. The model, described by interacting gauge and scalar fields includes two parity and time violating terms: the Chern-Simons and the scalar magnetic interaction. For the pure Chern-Simons part of the theory the equations of motion are integrable. In general, however, the model system exhibits an interesting pattern of chaos to order transitions as the scalar magnetic moment is varied. The system dynamics are analyzed using a combination of standard techniques, such as phase space portraits, Lyapunov exponents, and Fourier spectra. (c) 2000 American Institute of Physics.
