Abstract
Consider a discrete time Markov process on that makes a deterministic jump based on its current location, and then takes a small Gaussian step of variance . We study the behavior of the asymptotic variance as . In some situations (for instance if there were no jumps), then the asymptotic variance vanishes as . When the jumps are "chaotic", however, the asymptotic variance may be bounded from above and bounded away from , as . This phenomenon is known as residual diffusivity, and we prove this occurs when the jumps are determined by certain expanding Bernoulli maps.
