    Interacting particle systems with continuous spins

    Viktor Bezborodov, Luca Di Persio, Martin Friesen, Peter Kuchling

    We study a general class of interacting particle systems over a countable state space $V$ where on each site $x \in V$ the particle mass $\eta(x) \geq 0$ follows a stochastic differential equation. We construct the corresponding Markovian dynamics in terms of strong solutions to an infinite coupled system of stochastic differential equations and prove a comparison principle with respect to the initial configuration as well as the drift of the process. Using this comparison principle, we provide sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of an invariant measure in the subcritical regime and prove convergence of the transition probabilities in the Wasserstein-1-distance. Finally, for sublinear drifts, we establish a linear growth theorem showing that the spatial spread is at most linear in time. Our results cover a large class of finite and infinite branching particle systems with interactions among different sites.

    Wasserstein distance in terms of the Comonotonicity Copula

    Mariem Abdellatif, Peter Kuchling, Barbara Rüdiger, Irene Ventura

    In this article, we represent the Wasserstein metric of order $p$, where $p\in [1,\infty)$, in terms of the comonotonicity copula, for the case of probability measures on $\R^d$, by revisiting existing results. In 1973, Vallender established the link between the $1$-Wasserstein metric and the corresponding distribution functions for $d=1$. In 1956 Giorgio dall'Aglio showed that the p-Wasserstein metric in $d=1$ could be written in terms of the comonotonicity copula $M$ without being aware of the concept of copulas or Wasserstein metrics. In this article, for the proofs we explicitly combine tools from copula theory and Wasserstein metrics. The extension to general $d\in\N$ has some restriction, as discussed e.g. in \cite{Alfonsi} and \cite{BDS}. Some of the results of \cite{Alfonsi}, \cite{BDS} and \cite{RR} are revisited here in a more explicit form in terms of the comonotonicity copula.

    Stability properties of some port-Hamiltonian SPDEs

    Peter Kuchling, Barbara Rüdiger, Baris Ugurcan

    We examine the existence and uniqueness of invariant measures of a class of stochastic partial differential equations with Gaussian and Poissonian noise and its exponential convergence. This class especially includes a case of stochastic port-Hamiltonian equations.

    Limit theorems for time averages of continuous-state branching processes with immigration

    Mariem Abdellatif, Martin Friesen, Peter Kuchling, Barbara Rüdiger

    In this work we investigate limit theorems for the time-averaged process $\left(\frac{1}{t}\int_0^t X_s^x ds\right)_{t\geq 0}$ where $X^x$ is a subcritical continuous-state branching processes with immigration (CBI processes) starting in $x \geq 0$. Under a second moment condition on the branching and immigration measures we first prove the law of large numbers in $L^2$ and afterward establish the central limit theorem. Assuming additionally that the big jumps of the branching and immigration measures have finite exponential moments of some order, we prove in our main result the large deviation principle and provide a semi-explicit expression for the good rate function in terms of the branching and immigration mechanisms. Our methods are deeply based on a detailed study of the corresponding generalized Riccati equation and related exponential moments of the time-averaged process.

    Explosion and non-explosion for the continuous-time frog model

    Viktor Bezborodov, Luca Di Persio, Peter Kuchling

    Different sets of conditions are given ensuring the explosion, respectively non-explosion, of the continuous-time frog model. The proof relies on a certain type of comparison to a percolation model which we call totally asymmetric discrete inhomogeneous Boolean percolation.
