Globally Coupled Oscillator Networks

We study a class of permutation-symmetric globally-coupled, phase oscillator networks on N-dimensional tori. We focus on the effects of symmetry and of the forms of the coupling functions, derived from underlying Hodgkin-Huxley type neuron models, on the existence, stability, and degeneracy of phase-locked solutions in which subgroups of oscillators share common phases. We also estimate domains of attraction for the completely synchronized state. Implications for stochastically forced networks and ones with random natural frequencies are discussed and illustrated numerically. We indicate an application to modeling the brain structure locus coeruleus: an organ involved in cognitive control.
