Lipschitz regularity of the invariant measure of random dynamical systems

TL;DR
The work addresses regularity and mixing properties of invariant measures for a class of random dynamical systems modeled as skew-products with contracting fibers. By constructing anisotropic spaces built from a Wasserstein-like metric and analyzing the transfer operator near its fixed point, the authors prove a spectral gap and a unique invariant measure in the strong space. This yields exponential convergence to equilibrium and exponential decay of correlations for Lipschitz observables, with Lipschitz regularity of the invariant measure’s disintegration along stable fibers. The results provide a robust statistical framework for RDS and related IFS settings, highlighting precise quantitative rates and structural regularity that can support further probabilistic limit theorems and stability analyses.
Abstract
In this article we derive a regularity result for the disintegration of the invariant measure associated to a class of Random Dynamical Systems - RDS. The results of this work are obtained by constructing a suitable anisotropic normed space defined by the Wasserstein-Kantorovich-like metric and understanding the dynamics of the associated transfer operator in a neighborhood of its fixed point. Precisely, we employ functional analytic techniques to demonstrate a spectral gap for its action on suitable spaces of signed measures. We apply this analysis to prove an exponential decay of correlation statement for Lipschitz observables and statistical properties of the RDS.
