Spectral gap for the Brownian motion with drift on a compact manifold
Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary, $X$ a smooth vector field on $M$. Consider the Brownian motion $t\mapsto B_t$ on $M$ with drift $X$, so that its generator is $L=\Delta +X$. ...

Solving a Fredholm equation with a piecewise kernel : Karhunen-Loeve of a stopped Brownian motion
Is there a way to solve analytically the Fredholm integral equation of the second kind
$$
\int_0^{100} K(s, t) f(s) ds = \lambda f(t)
$$
where the kernel has the piecewise 'linear' form
\begin{align}

Analytic formula for the eigenvalues of kernel integral operator induced by Laplace kernel $K(x,x') = e^{-c\|x-x'\|}$ on unit-sphere in $\mathbb R^d$
Let $d \ge 2$ be an integer and let $X=\mathcal S_{d-1}$ the unit-sphere in $\mathbb R^d$. Let $\tau_d$ be the uniform distribution on $X$. Define a function $K:X \times X \to \mathbb R$ by $K(x,y) := ...

Right spectral gap of vector of two independent Markov chains
Let $(X_i)$ be a stationary Markov chain on $S$ (a potentially uncountable space with a Borel sigma algebra) with stationary distribution $\pi$ and transition kernel $P$. Let $(Y_i)$ be a stationary ...

Examples for Markov generators with pure point spectrum
I'm looking at symmetric diffusion Markov generators $L$ with pure point spectrum, i.e. infinitesimal generators of symmetric diffusion Markov semigroups, which are defined on $L^2(\mu)$ where $\mu$ ...

Spectral gap of a Markov chain on the nonnegative integers
Let $\lambda_k,\mu_k\in\mathbb R_{\ge0}$ $(k\ge1)$ be nonnegative real numbers such that $\sum_{k=1}^\infty k\lambda_k<\infty,$ let $S=\mathbb Z_{\ge0}$ be the nonnegative integers, let $T=\mathbb ...
