Abstract

Kinetic Brownian motion is a stochastic process that interpolates between the geodesic flow and Laplacian. It is also an analogue of Bismut’s hypoelliptic Laplacian. We prove the strong convergence of the spectrum of kinetic Brownian motion to the spectrum of base Laplacian for all compact Riemannian manifolds. This generalizes recent work of Kolb--Weich--Wolf on constant curvature surfaces. As an application, we prove the optimal convergence rate of kinetic Brownian motion to equilibrium (given by the spectral gap of base Laplacian) conjectured by Baudoin--Tardif. This is based on joint work with Qiuyu Ren.

      Leibenson's equation on Riemannian manifolds

      Abtract:We consider on arbitrary Riemannian manifolds the Leibenson equation:$\partial _{t}u=\Delta _{p}u^{q}.$This equation comes from hydrodynamics where it describes filtration of a turbulent compressible liquid in porous medium. Here $u(x,t)$ is the fraction of the volume that the liquid takes in porous medium at time $t$ at point $x$. The parameter $p$ characterizes the turbulence of a...

      YMSC Probability Seminar | Skew Brownian flow: a new approach

      Abstract:The skew Brownian motion is constructed by assigning signs to Brownian excursions away from 0, each excursion being positive with probability p and negative with probability 1-p. It can equivalently (Harrison-Shepp, 1981) be seen as the strong solution of the SDE dX_t=dB_t + (2p-1) dL_t(X) where L_t(X) denotes the local time of the diffusion at 0. The skew Brownian flow as studied by ...
