Center–manifold approach

Our explanation for the complicated nonlinear dynamics of externally

perturbed magnetic nanodots is the following:

One has to study the magnon modes on the vortex background

Due to rotation there is a ’softening’ of magnon modes𝜔m = 𝜔m − m𝜔

Only few of them are effectively excited by the external driving, all

others are damped and slaved

The dynamics of the dip creation can be then described by an

attractor consisting of a few modes

Dip is the stationary state of the system in the rotating frame of

reference
