Abstract
Particles escape from the vicinity of invariant tori is macroscopicall y modelled by a nonuniform diffusive process. The space dependence of transport coefficients is fixed by using perturbation theory scalings. This leads to universal predictions for the escape rates that are the n observed in numerical simulations.
