The theory, which is algorithmic in nature, comprises the construction of a dividing surface of minimal flux which is locally a \u201csurface of no return.\u201d The theory also allows for the computation of the global phase space transition pathways that trajectories must follow in order to react. The latter are enclosed by the stable and unstable manifolds of a so-called normally hyperbolic invariant manifold (NHIM). A detailed description of the geometrical structures and the resulting constraints on reaction dynamics is given, with particular emphasis on the three degrees of freedom case. A procedure is given which uses these structures to compute orbits homoclinic to, and heteroclinic between, NHIMs. The role of homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits in global recrossings of dividing surfaces and transport in complex systems is explained. The complete description provided here is inherently one within phase space; it cannot be inferred from a configuration space picture. A complexification of the classical phase space structures to incorporate quantum effects is also discussed. The results presented here call into question certain assumptions routinely made on the global dynamics; this paper provides methods that enable one to understand and quantify the phase space dynamics of reactions without making such assumptions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1063\/1.1789891","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,9,27]],"date-time":"2004-09-27T18:03:00Z","timestamp":1096308180000},"page":"6207-6225","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1063\/aip-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":105,"title":["Phase space conduits for reaction in multidimensional systems: HCN isomerization in three dimensions"],"prefix":"10.1063","volume":"121","author":[{"given":"Holger","family":"Waalkens","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mathematics, University of Bristol, University Walk, Bristol, BS8\u20091TW, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Burbanks","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mathematics, University of Bristol, University Walk, Bristol, BS8\u20091TW, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephen","family":"Wiggins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mathematics, University of Bristol, University Walk, Bristol, BS8\u20091TW, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"317","reference":[{"key":"2024020609525539500_r1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"91","DOI":"10.1039\/fd110091","volume":"110","year":"1998","journal-title":"Faraday Discuss."},{"key":"2024020609525539500_r2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1523","DOI":"10.1126\/science.256.5063.1523","volume":"256","year":"1992","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"2024020609525539500_r3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"119","DOI":"10.1021\/ar00051a005","volume":"28","year":"1995","journal-title":"Acc.
