Description of a class of Markov processes ''equivalent'' to K-shifts (Q1079889): Difference between revisions

It results from recent works of Prigogine and collaborators [see e.g., \textit{S. Goldstein}, \textit{B. Misra} and \textit{M. Courbage}, ibid. 25, 111- 126 (1981; Zbl 0512.60077)] that one can construct a nonunitary operator which realizes an ''equivalence'' between the positive actions of a reversible dynamical system and an irreversible Markov process going to equilibrium. We consider here this construction and we prove that (a) for K-shifts the transition probability of the associated Markov process is concentrated in the stable manifold of the transformed point by the shift with a point mass concentrated on the deterministic trajectory; and (b) for Bernoulli shifts the measures which go to equilibrium are the same for the deterministic system and the Markov process.
