Convergence of sets
I've just mentioned that I forgot to write that the sequence $A_n$ is non-increasing. Since the limit is understood as a set which belongs to all $A_n$.

Counterexample Markov process
Maybe - unfortunately I haven't found it there. At least at the moment we have the hypothesis is true for the finite-state Markov chain (as I understand also for infinite if there $u = \min\limits_y Q(y,y)>-\infty$). For the general piecewise-deterministic homogeneous Markov process it's not true (I've constructed a counterexample). For the case of diffusions it seems that it should be enough to claim that $$ E_x\int\limits_0^\infty I[X_t\in D] = 0 $$ where $D = x\in E|\sigma(x) = 0$ and $\sigma$ is a diffusion matrix. For example it will not be the case for PDP's and non-homogeneous MPs.

Change of measure Markov process
You mean that we can make an equivalent change of measure only on a finite horizon? Ok, it will be enough for me. Unfortunately as I understand the change of the diffusion term is impossible even on the finite horizon because it will change a quadratic variation which is a local characteristic of a process.

Counterexample Markov process
But I like your logic - this is prove based on the generator which I'm missing for the general homogeneous Markov process. If you would explain, I could try to make an analogue for the general case.

Counterexample Markov process
As I understand you denote $(e^{tQ})(y,z)$ as an element of the matrix on row $y$ and column $z$. Then you are mixing $A$ and $y$ easily - this is a little bit confusing, could you explain what is $(e^{tQ})(y,z)$ and $(e^{tQ})(y,A)$ in your notation?

Change of measure Markov process
Do I understand correct, roughly speaking calculating expectations with the Law of Large Numbers will give us different results P-a.s.? But what about diffusion with drift? Can't we use the same argument to prove that on the interval $[0,+\infty)$ there is no equivalent cahnge of measure?

Change of measure Markov process
Yes, it's clear for me now about diffusions. But I'm not sure I completely understand what do you mean about the Poisson process. By the construction in Shreve, we use $Z(T)$ to define a new measure $\tilde{P}$. On the other hand we use the same to change the drift of diffusion - and we tell that this is the change on the whole real line.

Change of time or change of measure
Yes, it's obvious, you're right, thank you.

Counterexample Markov process
Sorry, I'm missing a lot in your answer. 1. For the diffusion case you suppose that my hypothesis is true if the coefficient of diffusion term is always non-zero? (It seems to me too) 2. For the continuous Markov chain what did you prove, that I'm right or wrong?

Change of measure Markov process
See e.g. Shreve, Stochastic Calculus for Finance II, chapter 11 - change of measure for the Poisson process. There he provide an equivalent change of measure which changes an intensity of the Poisson process.

Counterexample Markov process
As I understand, it is a non-homogeneous Markov process since it is written as $$ X_t = X_0 + \int\limits_0^t u(s,X_s)dB_s. $$ In the topic I mentioned that I am looking for the homogeneous one.
