Abstract

We employ weak hypocoercivity methods to study the long-term behavior of operator semigroups generated by degenerate Kolmogorov operators with variable second-order coefficients, which solve the associated abstract Cauchy problem. We prove essential m-dissipativity of the operator, which extends previous results and is key to the rigorous analysis required. We give estimates for the L2L^2-convergence rate by using weak Poincar\'e inequalities. As an application, we obtain estimates for the (sub-)exponential convergence rate of solutions to the corresponding degenerate Fokker-Planck equations and of weak solutions to the corresponding degenerate stochastic differential equation with multiplicative noise.
