Superdiffusive central limit theorems for geodesic flows on nonpositively curved surfaces

Dynamical Systems 2025-12-15 v1 Differential Geometry

Abstract

We prove a nonstandard central limit theorem and weak invariance principle, with superdiffusive normalisation (tlogt)1/2(t\log t)^{1/2}, for geodesic flows on a class of nonpositively curved surfaces with flat cylinder. We also prove that correlations decay at rate t1t^{-1}. An important ingredient of the proof, which is of independent interest, is an improved results on the regularity of the stable/unstable foliations induced by the Green bundles.
