Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Mathematical analysis
  • Geometry

Robert S. MacKay mainly focuses on Mathematical analysis, Invariant, Classical mechanics, Hamiltonian system and Mathematical physics. His Mathematical analysis study incorporates themes from Perturbation, Bifurcation, Saddle and Torus, Topology. His research integrates issues of Twist, Kolmogorov–Arnold–Moser theorem, Symplectic geometry and Periodic orbits in his study of Invariant.

His research in Classical mechanics intersects with topics in Instability, Subharmonic function, Signature, Nonlinear system and Eigenvalues and eigenvectors. The concepts of his Hamiltonian system study are interwoven with issues in Mathematical Operators, Statistical physics, Invariant and Phase space. His work carried out in the field of Mathematical physics brings together such families of science as Hertz, Dynamical systems theory, Quantum mechanics, Hamiltonian and Breather.

His most cited work include:

  • Proof of existence of breathers for time-reversible or Hamiltonian networks of weakly coupled oscillators (727 citations)
  • Transport in Hamiltonian systems (534 citations)
  • A renormalization approach to invariant circles in area-preserving maps (179 citations)

His Dynamical systems theory research incorporates elements of Statistical physics, Linear system, Gaussian noise and Stability theory. His Classical mechanics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Function, Motion, Magnetic field and Flux.

His biological study deals with issues like Continuous symmetry, which deal with fields such as Mathematical physics. His Homogeneous space research incorporates elements of Symmetry, Space, Mathematical analysis, Rotational symmetry and Grad–Shafranov equation. His research ties Euclidean geometry and Mathematical analysis together.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Hamiltonian dynamical systems (159 citations)
  • Frontiers of chaotic advection (116 citations)
  • Some mathematics for quasi-symmetry (12 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Mathematical analysis
  • Geometry

His primary areas of study are Field, Dynamical systems theory, Classical mechanics, Topology and Standard definition. His Field research integrates issues from Symmetry, Fluid mechanics, Nonlinear system, Space and Grad–Shafranov equation. He combines subjects such as Mathematical analysis, Rotational symmetry, Magnetohydrodynamics, Homogeneous space and Elliptic partial differential equation with his study of Symmetry.
