Abstract
We study transport and escape in the Stochastic Web Map (SWM), an area-preserving system with phase-space structure controlled by a symmetry parameter and nonlinearity . By analyzing the survival probability and escape frequency , we show that in the chaotic regime escape dynamics is governed by a single time scale ; here is the size of the escape horizon. Deviations at large and small indicate a breakdown of the quasilinear approximation. Then, upon rescaling the time by , escape statistics becomes universal, independent of . These results demonstrate that escape is controlled by global transport rather than symmetry.
