Abstract The study of statistical properties of Dynamical Systems is currently present in almost all fieldsof science, from fundamental Mathematics to applied modelling. One, for example, is interested in knowinghow robust the conclusions drawn from a model is. This task is particularly intricate when the dynamicsevolve under random bounded perturbations. In this case the study of statistical properties of the dynamicsis usually carried out in terms of Markov chains and/or perturbations on the space of maps. The mainchallenge is that this requires strong assumptions on the properties of the perturbations themselves, on theexistence of nearby orbits, on the space where it takes place, and on the classes of systems. Contrasting withstochastic processes under unbounded perturbations where tools from statistical analysis are applied, in thecase of bounded perturbations only some punctual progress on this direction has been made. Furthermore,there is no general approach to address some of the most fundamental questions in this field. This projectaims at studying statistical properties of some of the most important classes of dynamical systems. Inparticular, it is intended to make substantial contributions connecting structural properties with statisticalones. The issues that should be addressed include a formulation of a general criterion for stochastic stabilityin light of the possibility of representation of random maps, thoroughly established in terms of shadowingproperty, and a formulation of a general principle to study statistical stability in terms of Optimal TransportTheory and the solution of the Monge problem. | |
