Quenched Poisson processes for random subshifts of finite type

In this paper we study the quenched distributions of hitting times for a class of random dynamical systems. We prove that hitting times to dynamically defined cylinders converge to a Poisson point process under the law of random equivariant measures with super-polynomial decay of correlations. In particular, we apply our results to uniformly aperiodic random subshifts of finite type equipped with random invariant Gibbs measures. We emphasize that we make no assumptions about the mixing property of the marginal measure.

Linear response for random dynamical systems

We study for the first time linear response for random compositions of maps, chosen independently according to a distribution $\PP$. We are interested in the following question: how does an absolutely continuous stationary measure (acsm) of a random system change when $\PP$ changes smoothly to $\PP_{\eps}$? For a wide class of one dimensional random maps, we prove differentiability of acsm with respect to $\eps$; moreover, we obtain a linear response formula. We apply our results to iid compositions, with respect to various distributions $\PP_{\eps}$, of uniformly expanding circle maps, Gauss-Rényi maps (random continued fractions) and Pomeau-Manneville maps. Our results yield an exact formula for the invariant density of random continued fractions; while for Pomeau-Manneville maps our results provide a precise relation between their linear response under certain random perturbations and their linear response under deterministic perturbations.

Linear response in the intermittent family: differentiation in a weighted $C^0$-norm

We provide a general framework to study differentiability of SRB measures for one dimensional non-uniformly expanding maps. Our technique is based on inducing the non-uniformly expanding system to a uniformly expanding one, and on showing how the linear response formula of the non-uniformly expanding system is inherited from the linear response formula of the induced one. We apply this general technique to interval maps with a neutral fixed point (Pomeau-Manneville maps) to prove differentiability of the corresponding SRB measure. Our work covers systems that admit a finite SRB measure and it also covers systems that admit an infinite SRB measure. In particular, we obtain a linear response formula for both finite and infinite SRB measures. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that contains a linear response result for infinite measure preserving systems.

An elementary way to rigorously estimate convergence to equilibrium and escape rates

We show an elementary method to have (finite time and asymptotic) computer assisted explicit upper bounds on convergence to equilibrium (decay of correlations) and escape rate for systems satisfying a Lasota Yorke inequality. The bounds are deduced by the ones of suitable approximations of the system's transfer operator. We also present some rigorous experiment showing the approach and some concrete result.

Recurrence rates and hitting-time distributions for random walks on the line

We consider random walks on the line given by a sequence of independent identically distributed jumps belonging to the strict domain of attraction of a stable distribution, and first determine the almost sure exponential divergence rate, as r goes to zero, of the return time to (-r,r). We then refine this result by establishing a limit theorem for the hitting-time distributions of (x-r,x+r) with arbitrary real x.

Skew products, quantitative recurrence, shrinking targets and decay of correlations

We consider toral extensions of hyperbolic dynamical systems. We prove that its quantitative recurrence (also with respect to given observables) and hitting time scale behavior depend on the arithmetical properties of the extension. By this we show that those systems have a polynomial decay of correlations with respect to $C^{r}$ observables, and give estimations for its exponent, which depend on $r$ and on the arithmetical properties of the system. We also show examples of systems of this kind having not the shrinking target property, and having a trivial limit distribution of return time statistics.

Large deviation for return times in open sets for axiom A diffeomorphisms

For axiom A diffeomorphisms and equilibrium state, we prove a Large deviation result for the sequence of successive return times into a fixed open set, under some assumption on the boundary. Our result relies on and extends the work by Chazottes and Leplaideur who where considering cylinder sets of a Markov partition.
