Explicit coupling argument for nonuniformly hyperbolic transformations

The transfer operator corresponding to a uniformly expanding map enjoys good spectral properties. Here it is verified that coupling yields explicit estimates that depend continuously on the expansion and distortion constants of the map. For nonuniformly expanding maps with a uniformly expanding induced map, we obtain explicit estimates for mixing rates (exponential, stretched exponential, polynomial) that again depend continuously on the constants for the induced map together with data associated to the inducing time. Finally, for nonuniformly hyperbolic transformations, we obtain the corresponding estimates for rates of decay of correlations.

Martingale-coboundary decomposition for families of dynamical systems

We prove statistical limit laws for sequences of Birkhoff sums of the type $\sum_{j=0}^{n-1}v_n\circ T_n^j$ where $T_n$ is a family of nonuniformly hyperbolic transformations. The key ingredient is a new martingale-coboundary decomposition for nonuniformly hyperbolic transformations which is useful already in the case when the family $T_n$ is replaced by a fixed transformation $T$, and which is particularly effective in the case when $T_n$ varies with $n$. In addition to uniformly expanding/hyperbolic dynamical systems, our results include cases where the family $T_n$ consists of intermittent maps, unimodal maps (along the Collet-Eckmann parameters), Viana maps, and externally forced dispersing billiards. As an application, we prove a homogenization result for discrete fast-slow systems where the fast dynamics is generated by a family of nonuniformly hyperbolic transformations.

Averaging and rates of averaging for uniform families of deterministic fast-slow skew product systems

We consider families of fast-slow skew product maps of the form \begin{align*} x_{n+1} = x_n+εa(x_n,y_n,ε), \quad y_{n+1} = T_εy_n, \end{align*} where $T_ε$ is a family of nonuniformly expanding maps, and prove averaging and rates of averaging for the slow variables $x$ as $ε\to0$. Similar results are obtained also for continuous time systems \begin{align*} \dot x = εa(x,y,ε), \quad \dot y = g_ε(y). \end{align*} Our results include cases where the family of fast dynamical systems consists of intermittent maps, unimodal maps (along the Collet-Eckmann parameters) and Viana maps.
