Exponential mixing for Hamiltonian shear flow

Dynamical Systems 2025-02-14 v1 Probability

Abstract

We consider the advection equation on T2\mathbb{T}^2 with a real analytic and time-periodic velocity field that alternates between two Hamiltonian shears. Randomness is injected by alternating the vector field randomly in time between just two distinct shears. We prove that, under general conditions, these models have a positive top Lyapunov exponent and exhibit exponential mixing. This framework is then applied to the Pierrehumbert model with randomized time and to a model analogous to the Chirikov standard map.
