We study the existence of chimera states, i.e. mixed states, in a globally coupled sine circle map lattice, with different strengths of inter-group and intra-group coupling. We find that at specific values of the parameters of the CML, a completely random initial condition evolves to chimera states, having a phase synchronised and a phase desynchronised group, where the space time variation of the phases of the maps in the desynchronised group shows structures similar to spatiotemporally intermittent regions. Using the complex order parameter we obtain a phase diagram that identifies the region in the parameter space which supports chimera states of this type, as well as other types of phase configurations such as globally phase synchronised states, two phase clustered states and fully phase desynchronised states. We estimate the volume of the basin of attraction of each kind of solution. The STI chimera region is studied in further detail via numerical and analytic stability analysis, and the Lyapunov spectrum is calculated. This state is identified to be hyperchaotic as the two largest Lyapunov exponents are found to be positive. The distributions of laminar and burst lengths in the incoherent region of the chimera show exponential behaviour. The average fraction of laminar/burst sites is identified to be the important quantity which governs the dynamics of the chimera. After an initial transient, these settle to steady values which can be used to reproduce the phase diagram in the chimera regime.The study of chimera states, i.e. mixed states where synchronised and desynchronised dynamics coexist, has been at the forefront of studies in nonlinear dynamics involving both theoretical and experimental systems. A variety of classes of chimera states, i.e. states which contain coexisting domains of distinct kinds of spatiotemporal behaviour can be seen. These include multi-headed chimera states, travelling chimera states, amplitude chimera states, twisted chimera states etc, and have been seen in coupled oscillator models such as the Kuramoto model,coupled Ginzburg-Landau oscillators and other systems. Here, we investigate chimera and other states in a coupled sine circle map lattice which is a discrete version of coupled oscillator systems. The CML consists of two populations of globally coupled identical sine circle maps with distinct values for the intergroup and intragroup coupling. We observe spatiotemporally intermittent chimeras, i.e. states which consist of a synchronised subgroup, and a state where coherent (phase synchronised) and incoherent (phase incoherent) domains co-exist, at low values of the nonlinearity map parameter. Such STI chimeras have been observed earlier in coupled oscillators models such as Stuart-Landau oscillators, Ginzburg-Landau oscillators, coupled optical resonators, chemical reactions etc. We analyse the STI chimera seen in the CML system by plotting the phase diagram of the system using the global order parameter, and identifying the region where STI chimeras can be seen.
