Abstract

In this manuscript, we consider the Langevin dynamics on Rd\mathbb{R}^d with an overdamped vector field and driven by multiplicative Brownian noise of small amplitude ϵ\sqrt{\epsilon}, ϵ>0\epsilon>0. Under suitable assumptions on the vector field and the diffusion coefficient, it is well-known that it possesses a unique invariant probability measure μϵ\mu^{\epsilon}. As ϵ\epsilon tends to zero, we prove that the probability measure ϵd/2μϵ(ϵdx)\epsilon^{d/2} \mu^{\epsilon}(\sqrt{\epsilon}\mathrm{d} x) converges in the pp-Wasserstein distance for p[1,2]p\in [1,2] to a Gaussian measure with zero-mean vector and non-degenerate covariance matrix which solves a Lyapunov matrix equation. Moreover, the error term is estimated. We emphasize that generically no explicit formula for μϵ\mu^{\epsilon} can be found.
