Physical application of infinite ergodic theory — •Eli Barkai — Phys. Dept. Bar-Ilan University, Ramat-Gan, Israel

Norm conserving dynamical mappings, for example the Pomeau Manneville scenario for intermittency, exhibit either a normalized invariant density or an infinite (non-normalized) state, depending on the non-linearity of the map. In the latter case infinite ergodic theory plays a key role in the description of time averages. We will present physical applications of infinite ergodic theory in the context of stochastic Langevin dynamics [1] where the normalizing partition function diverges, and for a gas of laser cooled atoms [2]. This allows for the construction of thermodynamical relations in a non-equilibrium setting, provided that the dynamics is recurrent.
