中文摘要 AI 辅助
化学过渡态是一个相空间瓶颈：轨迹沿稳定方向接近，并沿不稳定方向离开。拉格朗日介数（LB）在流体流动的有限时间输运理论中被引入，它以某种方式结合了向后和向前变形，暗示了这种聚集-分散几何。我们探讨当过渡态几何已知时，LB度量了什么。对于线性秩一鞍点，即使稳定流形和不稳定流形存在，LB在空间上是恒定的。在对数局部逃逸时间尺度上的观测时间内，相对非线性修正对缩小的初始邻域保持较小。然而，在固定空间分辨率下，增加观测时间可以将LB的空间变化集中在稳定或不稳定流形附近。一个可分离的四次哈密顿量使这两个极限变得明确。一个不可分离的哈密顿量显示了在双曲周期轨道附近的局部平坦化。然后我们使用HCN/CNH异构化，其中分界面和间隙时间由相空间过渡态理论建立。在任何逃逸之前，较大的LB通常伴随着较长的最终间隙时间。进入的反应作用量提供了动力学解释：更接近法向双曲不变流形的初始条件具有更长的局部通道和更大的通过期间的累积拉伸。在0.5皮秒时仍在内部且在5皮秒前逃逸的轨迹中，早期LB不能有效地对逃逸时间进行排序。因此，在此示例中，LB表征了过渡态组织的输运；大值既不是内在的流形标记，也不是分子停留时间的一般度量。
英文摘要
A chemical transition state is a phase-space bottleneck: trajectories approach along stable directions and leave along unstable directions. Lagrangian betweenness (LB), introduced in finite-time transport theory for fluid flows, combines backward and forward deformation in a way suggestive of this gather-and-disperse geometry. We ask what LB measures when the transition-state geometry is known. For a linear rank-one saddle, LB is spatially constant even though the stable and unstable manifolds are present. Relative nonlinear corrections remain small on shrinking initial neighborhoods, including observation times on the logarithmic local escape scale. At fixed spatial resolution, however, increasing observation time can concentrate the spatial variation of LB near a stable or unstable manifold. A separable quartic Hamiltonian makes these two limits explicit. A nonseparable Hamiltonian shows local flattening near a hyperbolic periodic orbit. We then use HCN/CNH isomerization, where dividing surfaces and gap times are established by phase-space transition-state theory. Before any exit, larger LB generally accompanies longer eventual gap times. The incoming reactive action provides a dynamical interpretation: initial conditions closer to the normally hyperbolic invariant manifold have longer local passages and greater accumulated stretching during passage. Among trajectories still inside at 0.5 ps that exit before 5 ps, early LB does not usefully rank exit times. LB therefore characterizes transition-state-organized transport in this example; a large value is neither an intrinsic manifold marker nor a general measure of molecular residence time.
