Abstract
The dynamics of SU(2) Yang-Mills (YM) fields, both free fields and fie lds interacting with Higgs bosons, is investigated by the Poincare sur face-of-section method and the method of Lyapunov maximum exponents. A s for free YM fields and YM fields interacting with a Higgs condensate , the route to turbulence in the system consisting of YM fields and Hi ggs particles lies through an infinite sequence of period-doubling bif urcations of the relevant phase trajectory. Prospects for future inves tigations in this field, such as constructing a consistent dynamical t heory of second-order phase transitions on the basis of the analogy be tween such transitions and the bifurcation transition to chaos, and ta king into account the effects of the quark degrees of freedom of hadro n matter and of thermal and quantum vacuum fluctuations on the scenari o of the development of turbulence in the theory of YM fields, are als o discussed.
