Abstract

We obtain qq-Wasserstein convergence rates in the invariance principle for nonuniformly hyperbolic flows, where q1q\ge1 depends on the degree of nonuniformity. Utilizing a martingale-coboundary decomposition for nonuniformly expanding semiflows, we extend techniques from the discrete-time setting to the continuous-time case. Our results apply to uniformly hyperbolic (Axiom A) flows, nonuniformly hyperbolic flows that can be modelled by suspensions over Young towers with exponential tails (such as dispersing billiard flows and the classical Lorenz attractor), and intermittent solenoidal flows.
