Proof of Krylov-Bogoliubov theorem
Where can I find a proof (in English) of the Krylov-Bogoliubov theorem, which states if $X$ is a compact metric space and $T\colon X \to X$ is continuous, then there is a $T$-invariant Borel ...

Birkhoff Ergodic Theorem and Ergodic Decomposition Theorem for Continuous-Time Markov Processes
I have a couple of questions regarding ergodicity for Markov processes in continuous time. (In particular, the first question seems like it should be particularly basic, and yet I haven't managed to ...

What's the probability distribution of a deterministic signal or how to marginalize dynamical systems? (functional integrals in probability theory)
Because I still have no idea how it is possible for me to write down seemingly important equations ... that don't make any sense (at least for me) and because I haven't got any helpful comment so far, ...

Stochastic stability of "open" continuous-time stochastic systems: reference request
I'm looking for results on the stability of stochastic systems, e.g. SDEs, whose coefficients depend on a different process that is not necessarily stable. I'm calling those systems "open" here, but ...

A random walk on random lines
I am wondering if this random walk remains finite with positive probability.
Start with three lines $A,B,C$ that are extensions of an equilateral triangle.
Let $p_0$ be one corner. Generate a line $...

Sort-of converse of Kolmogorov zero-one theorem
Let $(\Omega, \mathscr F, \mathbb P)$ be a probability space. The Kolmogorov zero-one theorem states that
Suppose we have independent random variables $X_1, X_2, ...$. Then $\forall \ A \in \bigcap_n ...

Random suborbits of a rotation
Let $u_n = x + n\alpha \pmod 1$ with $\alpha$ irrational. We know that $(u_n)_{n \geq 0}$ is dense in $\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$ (equivalently $(u_n)_{n \geq 0}$ visits every open interval infinitely ...

A Simple Stochastic Dynamic Billiard
Consider the following stochastic dynamical system.
Fix $a > 0$, $b > 0$, and $v > 0$, and let $\mathbf{r}(t)=(x(t),y(t))$ be the position at time $t$ of a point which moves in the ...

A Really Simple Stochastic Dynamic Billiard
Consider the following stochastic dynamical system.
Fix $a > 0$, $b > 0$, $c>0$ and $v > 0$, and let $\mathbf{r}(t)=(x(t),y(t),z(t))$ be the position at time $t$ of a point which moves ...

Attractors in random dynamics
Let $\Delta$ be the interval $[-1,1]$, then we can consider the probability space $(\Delta , \mathcal{B}(\Delta),\nu)$, where $\mathcal{B}(\Delta)$ is the Borel $\sigma$-algebra and $\nu$ is equal ...

Can one realize this as an ergodic process?
Consider the lattice $\mathbb Z^2$ and take iid random variables $Y_e$ on all edges $e$ of the graph.
We then define random variables $X_i:=\sum_{e \text{ adjacent to } i}Y_e.$
In other words: For ...

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 ...

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 ...
