# Extreme events in forced oscillatory media in 0, 1 and 2 dimensions

## TL;DR

This paper reviews how the dimensionality of forced oscillatory media influences the occurrence of extreme events like optical rogue waves, highlighting scenarios relevant across 0 to 2 dimensions.

## Contribution

It provides a comparative analysis of extreme events in forced oscillatory media across different spatial dimensions, clarifying the role of dimensionality in their dynamics.

## Key findings

- Some dynamical scenarios are relevant from 0 to 2D
- Certain extreme events occur only in higher dimensions
- Dimensionality significantly affects wave propagation behaviors

## Abstract

One of the open questions in the field of optical rogue waves is the relevance of the number of spatial dimensions in which waves propagate. Here we review recent results on extreme events obtained in 0, 1 and 2 spatial dimensions in the specific context of forced oscillatory media. We show that some dynamical scenarii can be relevant from 0 to 2D while others can take place only in sufficiently large number of spatial dimensions.
