In 1964, V. Arnold constructed an example of a nearly integrable deterministic system exhibiting instabilities. In the 1970s, physicist B. Chirikov coined the term for this phenomenon "Arnold diffusion", where diffusion refers to stochastic nature of instability. One of the most famous examples of stochastic instabilities for nearly integrable systems is dynamics of Asteroids in Kirkwood gaps in the Asteroid belt. They were discovered numerically by astronomer J. Wisdom.

During the talk we describe a class of nearly integrable deterministic systems, where we prove stochastic diffusive behavior. Namely, we show that distributions given by deterministic evolution of certain random initial conditions weakly converge to a diffusion process. This result is conceptually different from known mathematical results, where existence of "diffusing orbits" is shown. This work is based on joint papers with O. Castejon, M. Guardia, J. Zhang, and K. Zhang.
