It has experimentally been found by Lampo et al. [Biophys. J. 112, 532 (2017)] that, for two different types of cell, the distribution of the diffusivities of RNA-protein particles over cytoplasm obeys an exponential law. Then, an…

Consider a windtree model with several parallel arbitrary right-angled obstacles placed periodically on the plane. We show that its diffusion rate is the largest Lyapunov exponent of some stratum of quadratic differentials and exhibit a new…

Lyapunov exponents measure the average exponential growth rate of typical linear perturbations in a chaotic system, and the inverse of the largest exponent is a measure of the time horizon over which the evolution of the system can be…

For a smooth expanding circle map, we show that the empirical distribution of Lyapunov exponents of periodic points of any fixed period is close to normal, with an error that decreases as the period grows. This establishes a version of the…

The dissipation function for a system is defined as the natural logarithm of the ratio between probabilities of a trajectory and its time-reversed trajectory, and its probability distribution follows a well-known relation called the…
