A variety of physical phenomena involve the nonlinear transfer of energy from weakly damped modes subjected to external forcing to other modes which are more heavily damped. In this work we explore this in (finite-dimensional) stochastic…

We consider a stochastic delay differential equation driven by a general Levy process. Both, the drift and the noise term may depend on the past, but only the drift term is assumed to be linear. We show that the segment process is…
We present and explore a general method for deriving a Lie-Markov model from a finite semigroup. If the degree of the semigroup is $k$, the resulting model is a continuous-time Markov chain on $k$ states and, as a consequence of the product…
We exhibit conditions under which the flow of marginal distributions of a discontinuous semimartingale $\xi$ can be matched by a Markov process, whose infinitesimal generator is expressed in terms of the local characteristics of $\xi$. Our…
We prove a stochastic averaging theorem for stochastic differential equations in which the slow and the fast variables interact. The approximate Markov fast motion is a family of Markov process with generator ${\mathcal L}_x$ for which we…
The infinitesimal generators of L\'evy processes in Euclidean space are pseudo-differential operators with symbols given by the L\'evy-Khintchine formula. This classical analysis relies heavily on Fourier analysis which in the case when the…
Consider the stochastic heat equation $\partial_t u = \sL u + \dot{W}$, where $\sL$ is the generator of a [Borel right] Markov process in duality. We show that the solution is locally mutually absolutely continuous with respect to a smooth…
We study a class of dynamical semigroups $(\mathbb{L}^n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ that emerge, by a Feynman--Kac type formalism, from a random quantum dynamical system…
We consider the following quasi-linear parabolic system of backward partial differential equations: $(\partial_t+L)u+f(\cdot,\cdot,u, \nabla u\sigma)=0$ on $[0,T]\times \mathbb{R}^d\qquad u_T=\phi$, where $L$ is a possibly degenerate second…
The stability analysis of possibly time varying positive semigroups on non necessarily compact state spaces, including Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions is a notoriously difficult subject. These crucial questions arise in a variety…

The paper is devoted to a systematic study of the duality of processes in the sense that $E f(X_t^x,y)=E f (x, Y_t^y)$ for a certain $f$. This classical topic has well known applications in interacting particles, intertwining,…
