We develop a method for calculating the Lyapunov characteristic exponents of lattice gauge theories. The complete Lyapunov spectrum of SU(2) gauge theory is obtained and Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy is calculated. Rapid convergence with lattice size is found. In Ref.1, we have studied chaos in lattice gauge systems by obtaining the largest Lyapunov exponents. The method used there, though straightf...

Covariant Lyapunov vectors or CLVs span the expanding and contracting directions of perturbations along trajectories in a chaotic dynamical system. Due to efficient algorithms compute them that only utilize trajectory information, they have been widely applied across scientific disciplines, principally for sensitivity analysis predictions under uncertainty. In this paper, we develop numerical m...
