Markov process on a torus with prescribed invariant distribution
In Euclidean space, $\mathbb R^d$, the Langevin diffusion $${\rm d}X_t=b(X_t){\rm d}t+\sigma(X_t){\rm d}W_t\tag1,$$ where $\sigma:\mathbb R^d\to\mathbb R^{d\times k}$, $$b:=\frac{\Sigma+U}2\nabla\ln p+...

On representing a continuous time Markov chain by a stochastic integral of a Poisson random measure
Let $Q=(q_{ij})$ be the transition rate matrix of a continuous time Markov chain $\{ X_t \}$ with countable state space $M$. Let $q_i = -q_{ii}=\sum_{j \neq i}q_{ij}$, and let $\Gamma_{ij}$ be defined ...

Can a diffusion process admit an invariant measure with a non-differentiable density?
The precise domain of the generator $A$ of an Itō diffusion on a Hilbert space $H$ (assume $H=\mathbb R^d$, if that's easier for you to work with) can usually not be determined explicitly$^1$. Usually,...

Path dependent Markov property
Let's consider a function $\Psi\in \mathcal{C}_B(\mathcal{C}[t,T])$ continuous and bounded
\begin{align*}
\Psi \colon \mathcal{C}[t,T] \longrightarrow [0,+\infty)
\end{align*}
Then my question is:...

Convergence of empirical measure to Mc-Kean Vlasov equation for mean-field model with jumps
I am interested in the following mean-field model introduced in the reference below:
There are $N$ particles. At each instant of time, a particle's state is a particular value taken from the finite ...

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 ...

Existence of a Lyapunov function for a log-concave measure
Let $d\in\mathbb N$, $f:\mathbb R^d\to\mathbb R$ be convex with $$\int e^{-f(x)}\:{\rm d}x<\infty\tag1$$ and $\mu$ denote the measure with density $e^{-f}$ with respect to the Lebesgue measure on $\...

How is the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality used in the proof of Lyapunov's criterion in the book "Analysis and Geometry of Markov Diffusion Operators"
Let $(E,\mu,\Gamma)$ be a full Markov triple (see definition below), $J\in\mathcal A$ with $J\ge1$ and $g\in\mathcal A_0$. In the proof of Theorem 4.6.2 of the book "Analysis and Geometry of Markov ...
