The stochastic tamed MHD equations: existence, uniqueness and invariant measures

We study the tamed magnetohydrodynamics equations, introduced recently in a paper by the author, perturbed by multiplicative Wiener noise of transport type on the whole space $${\mathbb {R}}^{3}$$ R 3 and on the torus $${\mathbb {T}}^{3}$$ T 3 . In a first step, existence of a unique strong solution are established by constructing a weak solution, proving that pathwise uniqueness holds and using the Yamada–Watanabe theorem. We then study the associated Markov semigroup and prove that it has the Feller property. Finally, existence of an invariant measure of the equation is shown for the case of the torus.

Mixing and average mixing times for general Markov processes

Yuval Peres and Perla Sousi showed that the mixing times and average mixing times of reversible Markov chains on finite state spaces are equal up to some universal multiplicative constant. We use tools from nonstandard analysis to extend this result to reversible Markov chains on compact state spaces that satisfy the strong Feller property.

Quantum Feller semigroup in terms of quantum Bernoulli noises

Quantum Bernoulli noises (QBN) are the family of annihilation and creation operators acting on Bernoulli functionals, which satisfy a canonical anti-commutation relation in equal-time. In this paper, we aim to investigate quantum Feller semigroups in terms of QBN. We first investigate local structure of the algebra generated by identity operator and QBN. We then use our new results obtained here to construct a class of quantum Markov semigroups from QBN which enjoy Feller property. As an application of our results, we examine a special quantum Feller semigroup associated with QBN, when it reduced to a certain Abelian subalgebra, the semigroup gives rise to the semigroup generated by Ornstein–Uhlenbeck operator. Finally, we find a sufficient condition for the existence of faithful invariant states that are diagonal for the semigroup.

Unique Ergodicity for a Class of Stochastic Hyperbolic Equations with Additive Space-Time White Noise

In this paper, we consider a certain class of second order nonlinear PDEs with damping and space-time white noise forcing, posed on the d-dimensional torus. This class includes the wave equation for $$d=1$$ d = 1 and the beam equation for $$d\le 3$$ d ≤ 3 . We show that the Gibbs measure is the unique invariant measure for this system. Since the flow does not satisfy the strong Feller property, we introduce a new technique for showing unique ergodicity. This approach may be also useful in situations in which finite-time blowup is possible.
