Formal proof of the approximation of a random phenomenon by a chaotic phenomenon

Abstract

This article examines the subtle relationship between chaos and randomness, two concepts that, although they refer to seemingly unpredictable phenomenon, are based on fundamentally different principles. Chaos manifests in deterministic systems where small variations in initial conditions lead to unpredictable long-term behaviors, while randomness pertains to intrinsically probabilistic processes, characterized by fundamental uncertainty. Although these phenomena are based on distinct mechanisms, they can interact and converge in contexts as varied as the modeling of natural phenomena, climate forecasts, or financial markets. Despite their differences, these two phenomena share common characteristics, such as the absence of apparent order and an unpredictability that defies our attempts at long-term prediction. Through an analysis of chaos theory and probability, this article aims to clarify the distinctions and highlight the deep connections between these two concepts in real systems. The objective of this article is to present a comprehensive approach aimed at demonstrating that, under certain conditions, a random phenomenon can be effectively represented and approximated by a chaotic phenomenon. By examining this possibility, we seek to establish the theoretical foundations that connect these two concepts, often perceived as distinct, but whose dynamics could prove to be analogous in certain contexts.

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.
