Outline • Localized and delocalized Lyapunov modes • Translational and rotational degrees of freedom • Nonlinear response theory and computer thermostats • Stationary nonequilibrium states • Phase-space fractals for stochastically driven heat flows and Brownian motion • Thermodynamic instability: • Negative heat capacity in confined geometries
Lyapunov spectra for soft and hard disks • Left: 36 soft disks, rho = 1, T = 0.67 • Right: 400 disks, rho = 0.4, T = 1
Properties of Lyapunov spectra • Localization • Lyapunov modes

Summary I: Equilibrium systems with short-range forces • Lyapunov modes: formally similar to the modes of fluctuating hydrodynamics • Broken continuous symmetries give rise to modes • Unbiased mode decomposition • Soft potentials require full phase space of a particle • Hard dumbbells, ...... • Applications to phase transitions, particles in narrow channels, translation-rotation coupling, ......
