Statistical Ensemble Deviation Estimates for Nearly Integrable Hamiltonian Systems

Dynamical Systems 2026-02-23 v1

Abstract

This paper studies quantitative deviation bounds for statistical ensembles evolving under the one-parameter flow of a nearly integrable Hamiltonian system. Combining Nekhoroshev-type stability estimates with phase-mixing arguments, we obtain, for any observable GG, an explicit upper bound on the deviation of the ensemble average Gt\langle G\rangle_t from its angular average Gθ0\langle \left\langle G \right\rangle_{\theta}\rangle_{0} over exponentially long time scales. The bound separates contributions from the resonant neighborhood via a probability-mass term, and from the nonresonant region via a traceable 1/t1/t mixing constant CGC_G, a high-frequency Fourier tail, and an explicit normal-form remainder error.
