Abstract
Transport by normal diffusion can be decomposed into hydrodynamic modes which relax exponentially toward the equilibrium state. In chaotic systems with 2 degrees of freedom, the fine scale structures of these modes are singular and fractal, characterized by a Hausdorff dimension given in terms of Ruelle's topological pressure. For long-wavelength modes, we relate the Hausdorff dimension to the diffusion coefficient and the Lyapunov exponent. This relationship is tested numerically on two Lorentz gases, one with hard repulsive forces, the other with attractive, Yukawa forces. The agreement with theory is excellent.
