    Google matrix of the world trade network

    Full text link
    Using the United Nations Commodity Trade Statistics Database [http://comtrade.un.org/db/] we construct the Google matrix of the world trade network and analyze its properties for various trade commodities for all countries and all available years from 1962 to 2009. The trade flows on this network are classified with the help of PageRank and CheiRank algorithms developed for the World Wide Web and other large scale directed networks. For the world trade this ranking treats all countries on equal democratic grounds independent of country richness. Still this method puts at the top a group of industrially developed countries for trade in {\it all commodities}. Our study establishes the existence of two solid state like domains of rich and poor countries which remain stable in time, while the majority of countries are shown to be in a gas like phase with strong rank fluctuations. A simple random matrix model provides a good description of statistical distribution of countries in two-dimensional rank plane. The comparison with usual ranking by export and import highlights new features and possibilities of our approach.Comment: 14 pages, 13 figures.

    Destruction of Anderson localization by nonlinearity in kicked rotator at different effective dimensions

    We study numerically the frequency modulated kicked nonlinear rotator with effective dimension d=1,2,3,4d=1,2,3,4. We follow the time evolution of the model up to 10910^9 kicks and determine the exponent α\alpha of subdiffusive spreading which changes from 0.350.35 to 0.50.5 when the dimension changes from d=1d=1 to 44. All results are obtained in a regime of relatively strong Anderson localization well below the Anderson transition point existing for d=3,4d=3,4. We explain that this variation of the exponent is different from the usual d−d-dimensional Anderson models with local nonlinearity where α\alpha drops with increasing dd. We also argue that the renormalization arguments proposed by Cherroret N et al. arXiv:1401.1038 are not valid.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figure

    Google matrix analysis of the multiproduct world trade network

    Get PDF
    Using the United Nations COMTRADE database \cite{comtrade} we construct the Google matrix GG of multiproduct world trade between the UN countries and analyze the properties of trade flows on this network for years 1962 - 2010. This construction, based on Markov chains, treats all countries on equal democratic grounds independently of their richness and at the same time it considers the contributions of trade products proportionally to their trade volume. We consider the trade with 61 products for up to 227 countries. The obtained results show that the trade contribution of products is asymmetric: some of them are export oriented while others are import oriented even if the ranking by their trade volume is symmetric in respect to export and import after averaging over all world countries. The construction of the Google matrix allows to investigate the sensitivity of trade balance in respect to price variations of products, e.g. petroleum and gas, taking into account the world connectivity of trade links. The trade balance based on PageRank and CheiRank probabilities highlights the leading role of China and other BRICS countries in the world trade in recent years. We also show that the eigenstates of GG with large eigenvalues select specific trade communities.Comment: 19 pages, 25 figure

    Quantum Gibbs distribution from dynamical thermalization in classical nonlinear lattices

    Get PDF
    We study numerically time evolution in classical lattices with weak or moderate nonlinearity which leads to interactions between linear modes. Our results show that in a certain strength range a moderate nonlinearity generates a dynamical thermalization process which drives the system to the quantum Gibbs distribution of probabilities, or average oscillation amplitudes. The effective dynamical temperature of the lattice varies from large positive to large negative values depending on energy of initially excited modes. This quantum Gibbs distribution is drastically different from usually expected energy equipartition over linear modes corresponding to a regime of classical thermalization. Possible experimental observations of this dynamical thermalization are discussed for cold atoms in optical lattices, nonlinear photonic lattices and optical fiber arrays.Comment: 15 pages, 12 figures.

    Dynamics and thermalization of Bose-Einstein condensate in Sinai oscillator trap

    Get PDF
    We study numerically the evolution of Bose-Einstein condensate in the Sinai oscillator trap described by the Gross-Pitaevskii equation in two dimensions. In the absence of interactions this trap mimics the properties of Sinai billiards where the classical dynamics is chaotic and the quantum evolution is described by generic properties of quantum chaos and random matrix theory. We show that, above a certain border, the nonlinear interactions between atoms lead to the emergence of dynamical thermalization which generates the statistical Bose-Einstein distribution over eigenmodes of the system without interactions. Below the thermalization border the evolution remains quasi-integrable. Such a Sinai oscillator trap, formed by the oscillator potential and a repulsive disk located in the vicinity of the center, had been already realized in rst experiments with the Bose-Einstein condensate formation by Ketterle group in 1995 and we argue that it can form a convenient test bed for experimental investigations of dynamical of thermalization. Possible links and implications for Kolmogorov turbulence in absence of noise are also discussed.Comment: 11 pages, 14 figures. Final version. Accepted forpublication at Phys. Rev. A.

    Spectral properties of Google matrix of Wikipedia and other networks

    Get PDF
    We study the properties of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the Google matrix of the Wikipedia articles hyperlink network and other real networks. With the help of the Arnoldi method we analyze the distribution of eigenvalues in the complex plane and show that eigenstates with significant eigenvalue modulus are located on well defined network communities. We also show that the correlator between PageRank and CheiRank vectors distinguishes different organizations of information flow on BBC and Le Monde web sites.Comment: 10 pages, 9 figure

    Kolmogorov Turbulence Defeated by Anderson Localization for a Bose-Einstein Condensate in a Sinai-Oscillator Trap

    Get PDF
    We study the dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a Sinai-oscillator trap under a monochromatic driving force. Such a trap is formed by a harmonic potential and a repulsive disk located in the center vicinity corresponding to the first experiments of condensate formation by Ketterle and co-workers in 1995. We allow that the external driving allows us to model the regime of weak wave turbulence with the Kolmogorov energy flow from low to high energies. We show that in a certain regime of weak driving and weak nonlinearity such a turbulent energy flow is defeated by the Anderson localization that leads to localization of energy on low energy modes. This is in a drastic contrast to the random phase approximation leading to energy flow to high modes. A critical threshold is determined above which the turbulent flow to high energies becomes possible. We argue that this phenomenon can be studied with ultracold atoms in magneto-optical traps.Fil: Ermann, Leonardo. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones CientĂ­ficas y TĂ©cnicas; Argentina.
