Abstract : We study law of rare events for random dynamical systems. We obtain an exponential law (with respect to the invariant measure of the skew-product) for super-polynomially mixing random dynamical systems.
For random subshifts of finite type, we analyze the distribution of hitting times with respect to the sample measures. We prove that with a superpolynomial decay of correlations one can get an exponential law for almost every point and with stronger mixing assumptions one can get a law of rare events depending on the extremal index for every point.
