# Stationary distribution of gradient dynamics

We consider the gradient dynamics $$d X_{t} = d B_{t} - \nabla(U(X_{t}))dt$$ in $$\mathbb{R}^{d}$$.
G.Royer in the book "An initiation to logarithmic sobolev inequalities" (p29,30) says that if
(1) U is $$C^{2}$$,
(2) the sde doesn't explode in finite time almost surely, and
(3) $$\exp(-U)$$ is integrable on $$\mathbb{R}^{d}$$,

then the corresponding Boltzmann-Gibbs measure defined by $$d\mu(x)=\frac{1}{\zeta} \exp(-U(x)) dx$$ is reversible for the process (and consequently stationary distribution for the process).

Now, consider U which doesn't satisfy the 3rd assumption (integrability). Then, according to the theory above, we can't deduce stationarity of the Boltzmann-Gibbs measure written above.

My question is what can we say now about the stationary distribution of the process? Can the sde have stationary distribution of some other form ?( ie.other than the Boltzmann-Gibbs measure) OR The sde doesn't have any stationary distribution at all ? (implying that if the sde has stationary distribution then it has to be of the Boltzmann-Gibbs form )

I would really appreciate some help here because I am confused.
