Reversible Ito Diffusions

263 Views Asked by At

I have given a diffusion equation $$ dX_t = -\nabla V(X_t) \, dt + \sigma dB_t.$$

I found here(1) a characterization when $X_t$ is reversible, aslong as $\sigma=1$. Is this also true for $\sigma \neq 1$?

It is said here(2) that the general result for arbitrary $\sigma$ can be found here(3). Unfortunately I do not have access to this document, and I also assume that the notation will probably be unreadable for me and not as plain and clean as here(1).

Therefore, I would like to know if it is easy to get from here(1) to the general case where $\sigma \neq 1$.

Also I would like to know if the stationary measure $\mu$ is unique if $X_t$ is reversible.
