In this manuscript we show that a noise-activated escape phenomenon occurs in closed Hamiltonian systems. Due to the energy fluctuations generated by the noise, the isopotential curves open up and the particles can eventually escape in…
We investigate the dependence of the escape rate on the position of a hole placed in uniformly hyperbolic systems admitting a finite Markov partition. We derive an exact periodic orbit formula for finite size Markov holes which differs from…

The phase--space volume of regions of regular or trapped motion, for bounded or scattering systems with two degrees of freedom respectively, displays universal properties. In particular, sudden reductions in the phase-space volume or gaps…
