Abstract

In many applied settings, the chemical Langevin equation and linear noise approximation are used in the simulation and data analysis of stochastic reaction networks. With the goal of exploring the sensitivities of reaction network paths to their initial conditions, we subject these modelling techniques to the analysis of random dynamical systems and stochastic flows of diffeomorphisms respectively. After introducing this perspective to stochastic reaction networks in general, we turn our attention to the Brusselator: a two dimensional stochastic reaction network whose paths, when noise is neglected, exhibits a Hopf bifurcation. Studying both Lyapunov exponents, as well as their finite time counterparts, provides two new insights. Firstly, the Brusselator, when modelled by the chemical Langevin equation, exhibits a global synchronisation property of paths of similar noise realisations; secondly, contrary to statistical accuracy in the distributions of concentrations of reactants, the linear noise approximation can fail to capture the finite time dynamical properties of paths of the chemical Langevin equation. In doing so, we explore the notions of dynamical bifurcation and quasi-ergodicity.

Optimal rates of uniform convergence for weighted Birkhoff averages via almost all rotations

In this paper, we investigate weighted Birkhoff averages for toral translations associated with compactly supported weighting functions. By introducing several new analytical techniques, we establish optimal uniform convergence rates for almost all rotations and specific (or even all) initial points. Unlike the $\mathcal{O}(N^{-1})$ rate best achieved in classical ergodic theory, we show that these weighted averages exhibit polynomial or even exponential convergence. We establish the optimality of these convergence rates in multiple aspects, particularly concerning regularity indices across four distinct cases: finite differentiability, the $C^\infty$ class, logarithmic $C^\infty$ classes, and Gevrey classes. Our results demonstrate that the regularity of the observable essentially dictates the convergence rate; furthermore, we prove that no admissible choice of weighting function can, in general, overcome the lower bounds imposed by this regularity. In contrast to the generically slow convergence of standard time averages, this work provides an optimal and nearly complete characterization of rapid convergence for weighted Birkhoff averages.

Spectral theory of frame flows on closed hyperbolic manifolds

We prove a resolvent estimate for the generator of the frame flow on hyperbolic manifolds away from vertical lines of resonances. A byproduct of the proof is an optimal essential spectral gap property for the generator, hence giving another proof of exponential mixing of frame flows with respect to the volume measure of the frame bundle. This extends the result of [https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.08387v2] in dimension 3 to any dimension. We make extensive use of the Borel-Weil calculus developed in [https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.14846] to overcome difficulties of this higher-dimensional case.
