title: Near threshold anomalous transport in the standard map.
abstract: Anomalous transport is investigated near threshold in the standard map. Very long time flights, and a large anomaly in the transport, are shown to be associated with a new form of multi-island structures causing orbit sticking. The phase space structure of these traps, and the exponents of the characteristic long time tails associated with them are determined. In general these structures are very complex, but some cases, consisting of layers of islands, allow simple modeling. (c) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
