Abstract
Many aspects of the dynamics of random walks and Brownian motion with detailed balance can be understood using techniques of classical and quantum chaos theory. Symmetry breaking coupling between degrees of freedom can lead to mutual repulsion of decay rates and in some cases to a change in the rate of approach to equilibrium.
