Drift conditions and invariant measures for Markov chains
We consider the classical Foster–Lyapunov condition for the existence of an invariant measure for a Markov chain when there are no continuity or irreducibility assumptions. Provided a weak uniform countable additivity condition is satis/ed, we show that there are a /nite number of orthogonal invariant measures under the usual drift criterion, and give conditions under which the invariant measur...
متن کاملElectronic Communications in Probability Geometric Ergodicity and Hybrid Markov Chains
Various notions of geometric ergodicity for Markov chains on general state spaces exist. In this paper, we review certain relations and implications among them. We then apply these results to a collection of chains commonly used in Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation algorithms, the so-called hybrid chains. We prove that under certain conditions, a hybrid chain will \inherit" the geometric ergo...
متن کاملSubgeometric ergodicity of Markov chains
When f ≡ 1, the f -norm is the total variation norm, which is denoted ‖μ‖TV. Assume that P is aperiodic positive Harris recurrent with stationary distribution π. Then the iterated kernels P(x, ·) converge to π. The rate of convergence of P(x, .) to π does not depend on the starting state x, but exact bounds may depend on x. Hence, it is of interest to obtain non uniform or quantitative bounds o...

متن کاملInvariant Measures and Arithmetic Quantum Unique Ergodicity
We classify measures on the locally homogeneous space Γ\SL(2,R)×L which are invariant and have positive entropy under the diagonal subgroup of SL(2,R) and recurrent under L. This classification can be used to show arithmetic quantum unique ergodicity for compact arithmetic surfaces, and a similar but slightly weaker result for the finite volume case. Other applications are also presented. In th...
