Stochastic methods applied to problems in equilibrium statistical mechanics (82B31)

Abstract: For many stochastic processes there is an underlying coordinate space, $V$, with the process moving from point to point in $V$ or on variables (such as spin configurations) defined with respect to $V$. There is a matrix of transition probabilities (whether between points in $V$ or between variables defined on $V$) and we focus on its ``slow eigenvectors, those with eigenvalues closest to that of the stationary eigenvector. These eigenvectors are the ``observables, and they can be used to recover geometrical features of $V$.
