Interpretation of stochastic integrals that arise as limits of deterministic systems

Abstract

Homogenization is a mechanism whereby multiscale deterministic systems
converge to stochastic differential equations. In achieving a rigorous
theory, the key problem is the interpretation (Stratonovich, Ito, other) of
the stochastic integrals present in the limit. This boils down to the
following question in ergodic theory. For a discrete time dynamical system
f : X to X, given a vector valued observable v : X to \R^d with mean zero,
consider the normalised sum \(W_n(t) = n^{-1/2}\sum_{j=1}^{[nt]}v\circ
f^j\). Under certain conditions (eg Axiom A or nonuniformly hyperbolic), it
is possible to prove that W_n converges weakly to d-dimensional Brownian
motion. (This is known as the functional central limit theorem or weak
invariance principle.) Now suppose that \(1\le b,c \le d\). What is the
weak limit of \(\int_0^t W_n^b dW_n^c\)? In this talk, we present the
solution to this problem for both discrete and continuous dynamical
systems. Our solution sheds light on the general question of how to
correctly interpret stochastic integrals arising as limits of deterministic
systems. This is joint work with David Kelly.
