Abstract
In recent work, I have proposed a mechanism for the formation of shearless attractors from the coalescence of three of these attractors into a single one. However, by observing the inverse process, it is possible to break the degeneracy of a given attractor and form a region with several nearby attractors. An analogous procedure is possible even in a non-dissipative context, that is, one can have a scenario with one or several shearless curves and generate a collective transport barrier, supposedly more efficient to block transport in the phase space, which is a relevant topic for investigations on plasma confinement, fluid dynamics and non-linear dynamics. The proposal of this regular project is to verify this conjecture, study the neighborhood of these shearless curves in phase space as they form or disappear, and also investigate the quasi-periodic / chaotic transition that the shearless attractors present.
