We develop and implement new probabilistic strategy for proving exponential ergodicity for interacting diffusion processes on unbounded lattice. The concept of the solution used is rather weak as we construct the process in infinite…

We consider distributions of ordered random vectors with given one-dimensional marginal distributions. We give an elementary necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of such a distribution with finite entropy. In this case, we…

Although an intimate relation between entropy and diffusion has been advocated for many years and even seems to have been verified in theory and experiments, a quantitatively reliable study, and any derivation of an algebraic relation…

The skew-product diffusion [Ann. Appl. Probab. 35, 3150--3214 (2025)] and exponentially tilted planar Brownian motion [Electron. J. Probab. 30, 1--97 (2025)] are canonical examples of planar diffusions with a point interaction at the origin…

In this article we investigate the asymptotic behavior of a new class of multi-dimensional diffusions in random environment. We introduce cut times in the spirit of the work done by Bolthausen, Sznitman and Zeitouni, see [4], in the…

In surface diffusion, one of the key observables is the so-called intermediate scattering function which is measured directly from the surface technique called Helium spin echo. In this work, we show that this function can be seen as a…

We present a collection of explicit diffusion approximations to small temperature Schr\"{o}dinger bridges on manifolds. Our most precise results are when both marginals are the same and the Schr\"{o}dinger bridge is on a manifold with a…
