We study a compactification of the space of invariant probability measures for a transitive countable Markov shift. We prove that it is affine homeomorphic to the Poulsen simplex. Furthermore, we establish that, depending on a combinatorial…

This note revisits the problem of finding necessary and sufficient conditions for a subshift to have a continuous g-function. Results obtained by Krieger (IMS Lecture Notes-Monograph Series, 48, 306--316, 2006) on finite alphabet subshifts…

The equivalence of regularity of a Q-matrix with its bounded perturbations is proved and a integration by parts formula is established for the associated Feller minimal transition functions.

The classical Schrodinger bridge seeks the most likely probability law for a diffusion process, in path space, that matches marginals at two end points in time; the likelihood is quantified by the relative entropy between the sought law and…

We introduce a definition of pressure for almost-additive sequences of continuous functions defined over (non-compact) countable Markov shifts. The variational principle is proved. Under certain assumptions we prove the existence of Gibbs…

A theory of martingales for censoring is developed. The Doob-Meyer martingale is shown to be inadequate in general, and a repaired martingale is proposed with a non-predictable centering term. Associated martingale transforms, variation…

Consider the lattice of bounded linear operators on the space of Borel measures on a Polish space. We prove that the operators which are continuous with respect to the weak topology induced by the bounded measurable functions form a…

For a finitely irreducible countable Markov shift and a potential with summable variations, we provide a condition on the associated pressure function which ensures that Bowen's Gibbs state, the equilibrium state, and the minimizer of the…

In this paper, we consider chains of infinite order on countable state spaces with prohibited transitions. We give a set of sufficient conditions on the structure of the probability kernels of the chains to have at most one stationary…

Regularity properties of the pressure are related to phase transitions. In this article we study thermodynamic formalism for systems defined in non-compact phase spaces, our main focus being countable Markov shifts. We produce metric…

The present work aims to provide Meyers estimates throughout a finer inner regularity theory in perforated domains. We also provide a hypercontractivity property on correctors whenever the perforations are controlled with a uniformly…

Conditions on the generator of a Markov process to control the fluctuations of its bridges are found. In particular, continuous time random walks on graphs and gradient diffusions are considered. Under these conditions, a concentration of…

We address the stability problem for linear switching systems with mode-dependent restrictions on the switching intervals. Their lengths can be bounded as from below (the guaranteed dwell-time) as from above. The upper bounds make this…

We study a class of strongly irreducible, multidimensional, topological Markov shifts, comparing two notions of "symmetric measure": exchangeability and the Gibbs (or conformal) property. We show that equilibrium measures for such shifts…

The transport of a particle in the presence of a potential that changes periodically in space and in time can be characterized by the amount of work needed to shift a particle by a single spatial period of the potential. In general, this…
