Abstract: This article establishes cutoff thermalization (also known as the cutoff phenomenon) for a class of generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck systems (Xvarepsilont(x))tgeqslant0 with varepsilon-small additive L'evy noise and initial value x. The driving noise processes include Brownian motion, alpha-stable L'evy flights, finite intensity compound Poisson processes, and red noises, and may be highly degenerate. Window cutoff thermalization is shown under mild generic assumptions; that is, we see an asymptotically sharp infty/0-collapse of the renormalized Wasserstein distance from the current state to the equilibrium measure muvarepsilon along a time window centered on a precise varepsilon- and x-dependent time scale tvarepsilonx. In many interesting situations such as reversible (L'evy) diffusions it is possible to prove the existence of an explicit, universal, deterministic cutoff thermalization profile. That is, for generic initial data x we obtain the stronger result mathcalWp(Xvarepsilontvarepsilon+r(x),muvarepsilon)cdotvarepsilon1ightarrowKcdoteqr as varepsilonightarrow0 for any rinmathbbR, some spectral constants K,q>0 and any pgeqslant1 whenever the distance is finite. The existence of this limit is characterized by the absence of non-normal growth patterns in terms of an orthogonality condition on a computable family of generalized eigenvectors of mathcalQ. Precise error bounds are given. Using these results, this article provides a complete discussion of the cutoff phenomenon for the classical linear oscillator with friction subject to varepsilon-small Brownian motion or alpha-stable L'evy flights. Furthermore, we cover the highly degenerate case of a linear chain of oscillators in a generalized heat bath at low temperature.
