Abstract: We consider a Markov chain on mathbbRd with invariant measure mu. We are interested in the rate of convergence of the empirical measures towards the invariant measure with respect to various dual distances, including in particular the 1-Wasserstein distance. The main result of this article is a new upper bound for the expected distance, which is proved by combining a Fourier expansion with a truncation argument. Our bound matches the known rates for i.i.d. random variables up to logarithmic factors. In addition, we show how concentration inequalities around the mean can be obtained.
