Trace formulas for stochastic evolution operators: Weak noise perturbation theory (Q1809477)

The role of noise in a variety of physical problems is well-known. The authors present the influence of the weak noise corrections for a concrete dynamical system. Two aspects of the authors' results are remarkable: a) the structure of the periodic orbit theory should survive by introduction of noise, b) repeats of prime cycles can be resummed and the theory reduced to the dynamical zeta functions and spectral determinants of the same form as those for the deterministic system.
