Uniform shrinking and expansion under isotropic Brownian flows (Q842400)

From the authors' abstract: ``We study some finite time transport properties of isotropic Brownian flows. Under a certain non-degeneracy condition on the potential spectral measure, we prove that uniform shrinking or expansion of balls under the flow over some bounded time interval can happen with positive probability. We also provide a control theorem for isotropic Brownian flows with drift. Finally, we apply the above results to show that, under the non-degeneracy condition, the length of a rectifiable curve evolving in an isotropic Brownian flow with strictly negative top Lyapunov exponent converges to zero as \(t\rightarrow \infty \) with positive probability.''
