Diffusion conjecture for random Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms
Diffusion conjecture for random Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms
Let be a closed symplectic manifold, let be arbitrary, and let
be the evaluation map at . A law-defining datum is denoted by , and is the associated probability measure on .
Diffusion conjecture. For every , there exists a law-defining datum such that the push-forward measure and the uniform measure on are -close in a suitable metric, for example total variation or Wasserstein distance.
This conjecture formalizes the observed diffusion of points under random Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms: suitable random Hamiltonians should distribute the image of any fixed point nearly uniformly over the manifold. The supplied text does not state a resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
