A basic problem for dealing with various extreme events (possibly modelling catastrophes in real-world
systems) is that the times at which they occur often cannot be predicted over a reasonably long period.
Therefore it is important to at least understand the statistical laws governing their occurrence.
The present project is devoted to the question when, in chaotic dynamical systems, certain rare events
take place, what exactly happens upon their occurrence, and how statistical laws enabling quantitative
predictions emerge in this setup.
