Averaging - slides Jemma Fendley |

On the necessity of studying the averages of observables in chaotic dynamics. Formulas for averages are cast in a multiplicative form that motivates the introduction of evolution operators. Discrete-time and generating functions continued and compared. Infinitesimal time evolution related to the infinite time dynamics via a Laplace transform. The stage is set for the classical trace formula. | |
Idea: Global-local duality | |
Idea: Perron-Frobenius operator | |
Time averages of observables | |
State space averages of observables | |
A simple idea: Exponentiate! | |
