Diffusion limit for a slow-fast standard map

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Consider the map (x,y)mapsto(x+epsilon−alphasin(2pix)+epsilon−1−alphaz,z+epsilonsin(2pix)), which is conjugate to the Chirikov standard map with a large parameter. The parameter value alpha=1 is related to "scattering by resonance" phenomena. For suitable alpha, we obtain a central limit theorem for the slow variable z for a (Lebesgue) random initial condition. The result is proved by conjugating to the Chirikov standard map and utilizing the formalism of standard pairs. Our techniques also yield for the Chirikov standard map a related limit theorem and a "finite-time" decay of correlations result.


The authors consider the map \(\mathcal{G}_\epsilon:(x, z) \mapsto\left(x+\epsilon^{-\alpha} \sin (2 \pi x)+\epsilon^{-(1+\alpha)} z, z+\epsilon \sin (2 \pi x)\right)\). They show that this map is conjugated to the Chirikov standard map. At first, they prove a theorem (Theorem C) on decay of correlations of the standard map, and introduce the notion of standard pairs. Then they give a central limit theorem for the standard map (Theorem B), which is used to prove their main theorem. In the last part of the article, they get their main result (Theorem A), a central limit theorem for \(\mathcal{G}_\epsilon\) when \(\alpha\) is properly chosen. The author conjecture that the error term in Theorem C can be improved, which may lead to an improved Weak Law of Large Numbers.
