Abstract: We consider the time-dependent statistical distributions of diffusive processes in relaxation to a stationary state for simple, two dimensional chaotic models based upon random walks on a line. We show that the cumulative functions of the hydrodynamic modes of diffusion form fractal curves in the complex plane, with a Hausdorff dimension larger than one. In the limit of vanishing wavenumber, we derive a simple expression of the diffusion coefficient in terms of this Hausdorff dimension and the positive Lyapunov exponent of the chaotic model.

Review text

The authors study simple models of deterministic diffusion (for example, \(r\)-adic multi-bakers map). They obtain explicit relations between the Hausdorff dimension of cumulative functions for hydrodynamic modes, the positive Lyapunov exponent of the system, and the diffusion coefficient.
