Let (S(t)) be a one-parameter family S = (S(t)) of positive integral operators on a locally compact space L. For a possibly non-uniform partition of [0,1] define a measure on the path space C([0,1],L) by using a) S(dt) for the transition…

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…

We prove a sharp rate of convergence to stationarity for a natural random walk on a compact Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$. The proof includes a detailed study of the spectral theory of the associated operator.

We consider a random family of Schr\"odinger operators on a cover $X$ of a compact Riemannian manifold $M = X/\Gamma$. We present several results on their spectral theory, in particular almost sure constancy of the spectral components and…

We study the ergodic properties of Schr\"odinger operators on a compact connected Riemannian manifold $M$ without boundary in case that the underlying Hamiltonian system possesses certain symmetries. More precisely, let $M$ carry an…

The aim of this work is to study the convergence to equilibrium of an $(h,\rho)$-subelliptic random walk on a closed, connected Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ associated with a subelliptic second-order differential operator $A$ on $M$. In such…

Models describing transport and diffusion processes occurring along the edges of a graph and interlinked by its vertices have been recently receiving a considerable attention. In this paper we generalize such models and consider a network…

We present a short-time existence theorem of solutions to the initial value problem for Schroedinger maps of a closed Riemannian manifold to a compact almost Hermitian manifold. The classical energy method cannot work for this problem since…

The Glazman-Povzner-Wienholtz theorem states that the completeness of a manifold, when combined with the semiboundedness of the Schr\"odinger operator $-\Delta + q$ and suitable local regularity assumptions on $q$, guarantees its essential…
