Abstract
This paper studies quantitative deviation bounds for statistical ensembles evolving under the one-parameter flow of a nearly integrable Hamiltonian system. Combining Nekhoroshev-type stability estimates with phase-mixing arguments, we obtain, for any observable , an explicit upper bound on the deviation of the ensemble average from its angular average over exponentially long time scales. The bound separates contributions from the resonant neighborhood via a probability-mass term, and from the nonresonant region via a traceable mixing constant , a high-frequency Fourier tail, and an explicit normal-form remainder error.
