Minimizing the rate of geometric ergodicity of a Metropolis-Hastings kernel depending on a parameter
Let $\tilde\kappa$ denote the transition kernel of the Markov chain generated by the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm with proposal kernel $\tilde Q$ and target distribution $\tilde\mu$.
I want to ...

Two mixing rates of random dynamical system
Given random dynamical system $(X, \mathcal{B}, (T_{\omega})_{\omega\in \Omega}, \mu)$ where $(\Omega, \mathbb{P})$ is probability space with ergodic transformation $\sigma: \Omega \to \Omega$. Define ...

Regularity of the pdf of partial Birkhoff sums
Suppose that $T: X \to X$ is some measurable map on a Riemannian manifold $X$ (possibly with boundary). Let $\mu$ denote the Riemannian measure on $X$. For measurable, real-valued $g$ we may consider ...

Coboundary in the slow mixing systems
Given dynamical system $(X, T, \mu)$, $\mu$ is probability, $\mu \circ T =\mu$, $T$'s transfer operator $P$ is defined by following relation: $\int (P a) \cdot b d\mu= \int a \cdot (b \circ T) d\mu$ ...

weak-* versus entropy growth
General question. Let $\eta_{n}$ be a sequence of invariant measures on $\{0,1,2,...,p-1\}^{\mathbb{N}}$ and $B$ the Bernoulli uniform measure. Knowing that $\eta_{n} \rightarrow B$ in the weak-* ...

Entropy of Bernoulli walks on semi-groups.
Consider the Fibonacci semi-group $<L,R|LRR=RLL>$ with a Bernoulli walk $P(R)=p, P(L)=1-p$. Is the entropy $H(p)$ an unimodal function with maximum at p=0.5? Is this true for all finitely ...

Asymptotically full stationary process
Let $(X_n)_{n \in \mathbb{Z}}$ be a stationary process on a finite set $A$. Say that it is asymptotically full if for every increasing sequence of subsets $B_n \subset A^n$ such that $\dfrac{\#B_n}{\#...

Sets of invariant measures of Markov operators
A family of Markov operators $P_i \colon C \to C, i \in I$ is given. Let $V_i$ be the set of the $P_i$-invariant measures. Is there any result in the literature about a necessary and sufficient ...

Induced probability measure on a finite orbit under a group action
Suppose we have a discrete group $G$ acting on a compact set $X \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$
via measure-preserving homeomorphisms, and suppose we have a point
$x$ whose orbit $Gx$ is finite (say $|Gx| = n$...

Reduce ergodicity to the ergodicity of the coordinate process
Let $(E,\mathcal E,\lambda)$ be a probability space and $\lambda$ be a measurable map on $(E,\mathcal E)$ with $\lambda\circ\tau^{-1}=\lambda$.
I would like to show that $\tau$ is $\lambda$-ergodic ...

In smooth stochastic dynamics, if a Lebesgue-like measure is both forward-time and reverse-time stationary, is the measure necessarily incompressible?
Let $(\Omega,\mathcal{F},\mathbb{P})$ be a probability space and let $X$ be a compact connected $C^\infty$-smooth manifold. Let $F \colon \Omega \times X \to X$ and $\bar{F} \colon \Omega \times X \to ...

If a probability measure is stationary in both forward time and reverse time, does this imply that the measure is incompressible?
Let $(\Omega,\mathcal{F},\mathbb{P})$ be a probability space and let $X$ be a compact metric space. Let $F \colon \Omega \times X \to X$ and $\bar{F} \colon \Omega \times X \to X$ be measurable ...

WLLN for bootstrap means of stationary ergodic processes?
Setup:$\quad$
Suppose that $(X_n)$ is a stationary ergodic process with $E|X_1|<\infty$.
Given $X^{(n)}=(X_1, \dots, X_n)$, select a standard Efron bootstrap subsample $(X_{n,1}^*, \dots, X_{n,m(n)}...

What is the mean-value of a particular exponential sum related to the non-trivial zeros of Riemann's zeta function?
This question arose from an earlier one and the MO user's useful answers there: What are the values of the derivative of Riemann's zeta function at the known non-trivial zeros? (which is not a ...

Strong law of large numbers for a sequence of random variables in different probability spaces
Is it known whether the following version of the strong law of large numbers holds?
For each $k\in\mathbb{N}$, let $\Omega_k$ be a finite set and $\mu_k$ be a probability measure on $\Omega_k$. Let $(...
