Abstract: In the case of diffusions on mathbbRd with constant diffusion matrix, without assuming reversibility nor hypoellipticity, we prove that the contractivity of the deterministic drift is equivalent to the constant rate contraction of Wasserstein distances mathcalWp, pin[1,infty]. It also implies concentration inequalities for ergodic means of the process. Such a contractivity property is then established for some non-equilibrium chains of anharmonic oscillators and for some generalised Langevin diffusions when the potential is convex with bounded Hessian and the friction is sufficiently high. This extends previous known results for the usual (kinetic) Langevin diffusion.


The author proves that the contractivity of the deterministic drift is equivalent to the constant rate contraction of Wasserstein distances \(\mathcal{W}_p\), for \(p\in [1, \infty]\), in the case of diffusions on \({\mathbb R}^d\) with constant diffusion matrix, without assuming neither reversibility nor hypoellipticity. This also implies concentration inequalities for ergodic means of the process. Such a contractivity property is then established for some non-equilibrium chains of anharmonic oscillators and for some generalized Langevin diffusions when the potential is convex with bounded Hessian and the friction is sufficiently high. This extends previous known results for the usual (kinetic) Langevin diffusions.
