Rate of convergence in the weak invariance principle for deterministic systems (Q2311923)

The main task of this paper is to obtain the first estimates of the rates of convergence in the weak invariance principle (WIP). These results hold for uniformly expanding/hyperbolic (Axiom A) systems, as well as nonuniformly expanding/hyperbolic systems such as dispersing billiards, Hénon-like attractors, Viana maps and intermittent maps. As an application, the authors obtain convergence rates for deterministic homogenization in multiscale systems. For uniformly hyperbolic dynamical systems (including Axiom A diffeomorphisms but also maps with infinitely many branches such as the Gauss map), they obtain the convergence rate \(n^{-(\frac{1}{4}-\delta)}\) in the WIP for \(\delta\) arbitrarily small. This result also applies to certain nonuniformly hyperbolic systems such as dispersing planar periodic billiards, unimodal maps, and Hénon-like maps. More generally, for nonuniformly hyperbolic systems the rate depends on the degree of nonuniformity. As indicative examples, they consider Pomeau-Manneville intermittent maps of the interval: \(T(x)= x(1+2^\gamma x^\gamma)\) for \(x\in[0,\frac{1}{2})\) and \(T(x)=2x-1 \) for \(x\in[\frac{1}{2},1] .\) Here \(\gamma>0\) is a real parameter such that there is a unique ergodic absolutely continuous invariant probability measure \(\mu\) for \(\gamma<1\). For these maps the authors obtain convergence rates.
