We investigate continuous time random walks with truncated $\alpha$-stable trapping times. We prove distributional ergodicity for a class of observables; namely, the time-averaged observables follow the probability density function called…

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 study diffusion processes in $\mathbb{R}^d$ that leave invariant a finite collection of manifolds (surfaces or points) in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and small perturbations of such processes. Assuming certain ergodic properties at and near the…
