Weak synchronization for isotropic flows

Probability 2015-11-02 v1 Dynamical Systems

Abstract

We study Brownian flows on manifolds for which the associated Markov process is strongly mixing with respect to an invariant probability measure and for which the distance process for each pair of trajectories is a diffusion rr. We provide a sufficient condition on the boundary behavior of rr at 00 which guarantees that the statistical equilibrium of the flow is almost surely a singleton and its support is a weak point attractor. The condition is fulfilled in the case of negative top Lyapunov exponent, but it is also fulfilled in some cases when the top Lyapunov exponent is zero. Particular examples are isotropic Brownian flows on Sd1S^{d-1} as well as isotropic Ornstein-Uhlenbeck flows on Rd\mathbb{R}^d.
