Markov semigroups with hypocoercive-type generator in infinite dimensions: Ergodicity and smoothing

Abstract

We start by considering infinite dimensional Markovian dynamics in R^m generated by operators of hypocoercive type and for such models we obtain short and long time pointwise estimates for all the derivatives, of any order and in any direction, along the semigroup. We then look at infinite dimensional models (in (Rm)^{Z ^d}) produced by the interaction of infinitely many finite dimensional dissipative dynamics of the type indicated above. For these infinite dimensional models we study finite speed of propagation of information, well-posedness of the semigroup, time behaviour of the derivatives and strong ergodicity problem.
