| contents | In this paper, we consider an $N$-oscillators complexified Kuramoto model. We first observe that there are solutions exhibiting finite-time blow-up behavior in all coupling regimes. When the coupling strength $λ>λ_c$, sufficient conditions for various types of synchronization are established for general $N \geq 2$. On the other hand, we analyze the case when the coupling strength is weak. For $N=2$ with coupling below $λ_c$, our complex-analytic approach not only recovers the periodic orbits reported by Thümler--Srinivas--Schröder--Timme but also provides, for the first time, their exact period $T_{ω,λ}=2π/\sqrt{ω^{2}-λ^{2}}$, confirming full phase locking. Furthermore, for the critical case $λ= λ_c$, we find that the complexified Kuramoto system admits homoclinic orbits. These phenomena significantly differentiate the complexified Kuramoto model from the real Kuramoto system, as synchronization never occurs when $λ<λ_c$ in the latter. For $N=3$, we demonstrate that if the natural frequencies are in arithmetic progression, non-trivial synchronization states can be achieved for certain initial conditions even when the coupling strength is weak. In particular, we characterize the critical coupling strength ($λ/λ_c = 0.85218915...$) such that a semistable equilibrium point in the real Kuramoto model bifurcates into a pair of stable and unstable equilibria, marking a new phenomenon in complexified Kuramoto models. |
