Global Superdiffusion of Weak Chaos
read the original abstract
A class of kicked rotors is introduced, exhibiting accelerator-mode islands (AIs) and {\em global} superdiffusion for {\em arbitrarily weak} chaos. The corresponding standard maps are shown to be exactly related to generalized web maps taken modulo an ``oblique cylinder''. Then, in a case that the web-map orbit structure is periodic in the phase plane, the AIs are essentially {\em normal} web islands folded back into the cylinder. As a consequence, chaotic orbits sticking around the AI boundary are accelerated {\em only} when they traverse tiny {\em ``acceleration spots''}. This leads to chaotic flights having a quasiregular {\em steplike} structure. The global weak-chaos superdiffusion is thus basically different in nature from the strong-chaos one in the usual standard and web maps.
