Rapid Decay of Correlations for Nonuniformly Hyperbolic Flows
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that superpolynomial decay of correlations (rapid mixing) is prevalent for a class of nonuniformly hyperbolic flows. These flows are the continuous time analogue of the class of nonuniformly hyperbolic maps for which Young proved exponential decay of correlations. The proof combines techniques of Dolgopyat and operator renewal theory. It follows from our results that planar periodic Lorentz flows with finite horizons and flows near homoclinic tangencies are typically rapid mixing.

Decay of Correlations for Slowly Mixing Flows
We show that polynomial decay of correlations is prevalent for a class of nonuniformly hyperbolic flows. These flows are the continuous time analogue of a class of nonuniformly hyperbolic diffeomorphisms for which Young proved polynomial decay of correlations. Roughly speaking, in situations where the decay rate O(1/nβ) has previously been proved for diffeomorphisms, we establish the decay rate...
متن کاملLarge Deviations for Nonuniformly Hyperbolic Systems
We obtain large deviation estimates for a large class of nonuniformly hyperbolic systems: namely those modelled by Young towers with summable decay of correlations. In the case of exponential decay of correlations, we obtain exponential large deviation estimates given by a rate function. In the case of polynomial decay of correlations, we obtain polynomial large deviation estimates, and exhibit...
متن کاملDecay of correlations for flows with unbounded roof function, including the infinite horizon planar periodic Lorentz gas
We introduce a technique for studying nonuniformly hyperbolic flows with unbounded roof functions. In particular, we establish the decay of correlation rate 1/t for all infinite horizon planar periodic Lorentz gases. (Previously this result was proved only in some special cases.) Our method is useful for analysing the statistical properties of other classes of flows with unbounded roof function...
متن کاملStability of mixing and rapid mixing for hyperbolic flows
We obtain general results on the stability of mixing and rapid mixing (superpolynomial decay of correlations) for hyperbolic flows. Amongst Cr Axiom A flows, r ≥ 2, we show that there is a C2-open, Cr-dense set of flows for which each nontrivial hyperbolic basic set is rapid mixing. This is the first general result on the stability of rapid mixing (or even mixing) for Axiom A flows that holds i...
متن کاملCorrelation Decay and Recurrence Asymptotics for Some Robust Nonuniformly Hyperbolic Maps
Abstract. We study decay of correlations, the asymptotic distribution of hitting times and fluctuations of the return times for a robust class of multidimensional non-uniformly hyperbolic transformations. Oliveira and Viana [15] proved that there is a unique equilibrium state μ for a large class of nonuniformly expanding transformations and Hölder continuous potentials with small variation. For...
