  • Description: The cumulant representation is common in classical statistical physics for variables on the real line and the issue of closures of cumulant expansions is well elaborated. The case of phase variables significantly differs from the case of linear ones; the relevant order parameters are the Kuramoto-Daido ones, but not the conventional moments. One can formally introduce circular cumulants for Kuramoto-Daido order parameters, similar to the conventional cumulants for moments. The circular cumulant expansions allow us to advance beyond the Ott-Antonsen theory and consider populations of real oscillators. First, we show that truncation of circular cumulant expansions, except for the Ott-Antonsen case, is forbidden. Second, we compare this situation to the case of the Gaussian distribution of a linear variable, where the second cumulant is nonzero and all the higher cumulants are zero, and elucidate why keeping up to the second cumulant is admissible for a linear variable, but forbidden for circular cumulants. Third, we discuss the implication of this truncation issue to populations of quadratic integrate-and-fire neurons [E. Montbrió, D. Pazó, and A. Roxin, Phys. Rev. X 5, 021028 (2015)2160-330810.1103/PhysRevX.5.021028], where, within the framework of macroscopic description, the firing rate diverges for any finite truncation of the cumulant series, and discuss how one should handle these situations. Fourth, we consider the cumulant-based low-dimensional reductions for macroscopic population dynamics in the context of this truncation issue. These reductions are applicable where the cumulant series exponentially decay with the cumulant order, i.e., they form a geometric progression hierarchy. Fifth, we demonstrate the formation of this hierarchy for generic distributions on the circle and experimental data for coupled biological and electrochemical oscillators. Our main conclusion for applications is that, if the first and second circular cumulants are nonzero, there must be infinitely many nonzero higher cumulants. However, these higher cumulants can be small, in which case one can construct approximate equations for the dynamics of a finite number of leading cumulants.
