Standard bifurcation theory is concerned with families of vector fields $dx/dt = f(x,\lambda)$, $x \in \R^n$, involving one or several constant real parameters $\lambda$. Viewed as a differential equation for the pair $(x,\lambda)$, we observe a foliation of the total phase space by constant $\lambda$. Frequently, the presence of a trivial stationary solution $x=0$ is also imposed: $0 = f(0,\lambda)$. Bifurcation without parameters, in contrast, discards the foliation by a constant parameter $\lambda$. Instead, we consider systems $dx/dt = f(x,y), dy/dt = g(x,y)$. Standard bifurcation theory then corresponds to the special case $y=\lambda, g=0$. To preserve only the trivial solution $x=0$, instead, we only require $0 = f(0,y) = g(0,y)$ for all $y$. A rich dynamic phenomenology arises, when normal hyperbolicity of the trivial stationary manifold $x=0$ fails, due to zero or purely imaginary eigenvalues of the Jacobian $f_x(0,y)$. Specifically, we address the cases of failure of normal hyperbolicity due to a simple eigenvalue zero, a simple purely imaginary pair (Hopf bifurcation without parameters), a double eigenvalue zero (Takens-Bogdanov bifurcation without parameters), and due to a double eigenvalue zero with additional time reversal symmetries. The results are joint work with Andrei Afendikov, James C. Alexander, and Stefan Liebscher.
