Title:

Metastability and Stochastic Resonance in Multiscale Systems

Abstract:

First, I will remind how the notions of metastability and stochastic resonance for stochastically perturbed systems are described in the large deviation theory. Then I will consider these notions for dynamical systems which are close to Hamiltonian systems and for systems such that a non- trivial deterministic dynamics is caused by the random perturbations themselves.
