Stochastic averaging goes back to Khasminskii in the 1960's. The
standard result is
that, given a separation of scales, one can find effective dynamics
for slow components.
We investigate the motion of two particles in such a system, in
particular in a randomly-perturbed twist map. The nub of the issue
is how two points escape from a 1-1 resonance zone. Results of Pinsky
and Wihstutz
indicate that there is a third scale at work, which we can use to study
the escape from resonance.
