1 Introduction
We consider -valued infinite-dimensional stochastic differential equations (ISDEs) of of the form
[TABLE]
Here is -valued standard Brownian motion. For we set . Coefficients and are defined on a subset of independent of . By definition is -valued, and is -valued. We assume that and are symmetric in for each . Therefore, the set of (1.1) is referred to as “ISDEs with symmetry”. In the present article, we review recent results in this regard. Using a Dirichlet form technique and an analysis on tail -fields of configuration spaces, we prove the existence and pathwise uniqueness of strong solutions of the ISDEs of (1.1). We emphasize that the coefficients are defined only on a thin subset in and the state space of the solution is in this subset. Solving the ISDEs of (1.1) includes identifying such a subset.
Let be the configuration space over . is a Polish space equipped with the vague topology. With the symmetry of and in , we regard and as functions on . We denote these by the same symbol such that and , where for . Then we rewrite the ISDEs of (1.1) for as:
[TABLE]
Here , which is the -valued process . is called the labeled dynamics, and the associated unlabeled dynamics is given by .
If is a unit matrix and is given by a pair interaction , (1.1) becomes
[TABLE]
Here is inverse temperature. Having of Ruelle class and , Lang lang.1 ; lang.2 then solved (1.3), Fritz Fr constructed non-equilibrium solutions for , and Tanemura tane.2 provided solutions for hard core Brownian balls. The stochastic dynamics given by the solution of (1.3) are called the interacting Brownian motions (IBM).
These solutions are strong solutions in the sense that are functionals of the given Brownian motions and initial starting points . The method used in these studies are based on the classic It scheme. Hence, if is of long range such as a polynomial decay, then it is difficult to apply this scheme. Tsai tsai.14 solved (1.3) for the Dyson model. He used very cleverly a specific monotonicity of the logarithmic potential and its one-dimensional structure. As for the weak solution, we present a robust method based on the Dirichlet form technique from o.isde . We present a general theory to give -pathwise unique strong solutions applicable to the logarithmic interaction from o-t.tail .
Thus, our demonstration is divided into two steps. In the first step, we obtain weak solutions of ISDEs (1.1). That is, we construct solutions satisfying (1.1) (see Section 2–Section 4). In the second step, we prove the existence of strong solutions and the -pathwise uniqueness. For this, we perform a fine analysis of the tail -field of (see Section 5 and Section 6). In Section 7, we give ISDEs arising from random matrix theory. In Section 8, we present the algebraic construction of the dynamics, and the coincidence of the algebraic dynamics with solutions of ISDEs.
2 Unlabeled dynamics: quasi-Gibbs property
We next construct a natural -reversible unlabeled diffusion, where is a point process. The key point is the quasi-Gibbs property of , which we proceed to describe.
Let . Let be projections such that , . For a point process , we set
[TABLE]
Let and be potentials. We set
[TABLE]
A point process is called a canonical Gibbs measure if satisfies Dobrushin-Lanford-Ruelle (DLR) equation, that is, for -a.s.
[TABLE]
Here and is the Poisson PP with intensity .
Point processes appear in random matrix theory in the form sine, Airy, Bessel, and Ginibre point processes having logarithmic potentials
[TABLE]
However, the DLR equation (2.4) does not make sense for a logarithmic potential. Hence we introduce the notion of quasi-Gibbs measures:
Definition 1
is -quasi-Gibbs measure if such that
[TABLE]
By definition a canonical Gibbs measure is a quasi-Gibbs measure. We refer to o.rm ; o.rm2 for a sufficient condition for quasi-Gibbs property. We assume:
A1 is a quasi-Gibbs measure with upper semi-continuous . Furthermore, is bounded and uniformly elliptic.
A2 There exists a such that the -point correlation function of is in for each .
For a given point process we introduce a Dirichlet form such that
[TABLE]
Here we set for , and , where is symmetric in . Note that is a function of by construction.
Theorem 2.1 (o.dfa ; o.rm ; o-t.tail )
*Let be the set of local, smooth functions on . Set .
i Assume A1. Then is closable on .
ii Assume A1 and A2. Then there exists a diffusion associated with the closure of on .*
The local boundedness of the correlation functions is used for the quasi-regularity of the Dirichlet form. Once quasi-regularity is established, the existence of -reversible diffusion is immediate from the general theory m-r ; FOT.2 .
Unlabeled dynamics are also obtained in akr ; y.96 with a different frame work. It is now proved these are the same dynamics as in o-t.sm ; o-t.core . We remark that ergodicity of unlabeled dynamics with grand canonical Gibbs measures with small enough activity constant is obtained in akr .
3 Labeled dynamics: A scheme of Dirichlet spaces
We next lift the unlabeled dynamics in Theorem 2.1 to a labeled dynamics solving (1.1). For this we present a natural scheme of Dirichlet spaces describing the labeled dynamics . We assume a pair of mild assumptions:
A3 do not collide with each other (non-collision)
A4 each tagged particle never explode (non-explosion)
Let . Then A3 is equivalent to . A4 follows from , .
We call the unlabeling map if . We call a label if is defined for -a.s. , and . For a unlabeled dynamics satisfying A3 and A4, the particles can keep the initial label . Thus we can construct a map to such that . Hence we obtain:
Theorem 3.1 (o.tp )
Assume A1–A4. Then there exists a labeled dynamics such that and that .
Remark that has no good measures. Then no Dirichlet forms on associated with the labeled dynamics . We hence introduce the scheme of spaces with Campbell measures such that , where is a -point correlation function of and is the reduced Palm measure conditioned at . For , let be the square field on defined similarly as on given by (2.5) in Section 2. Let
[TABLE]
Let .
Theorem 3.2 (o.tp )
Assume A1 and A2. Then is closable on , and its closures is quasi-regular. Hence the associated diffusion exists. Here we write .
Let be the original Dirichlet form. Let be the associated unlabeled diffusion. We fix a label . Let be the labeled dynamics given by . We set .
Theorem 3.3 (o.tp )
Assume A1–A4. Assume and start at the same initial point. Then in distribution for each .
Instead of the huge space , we use a scheme of countably infinite good infinite-dimensional spaces . Using the diffusion on the original unlabeled space , we construct a scheme of the coupled diffusions on associated with the scheme of Dirichlet spaces . This construction is key for the ISDE-representation below.
4 ISDE-representation: Logarithmic derivative
Definition 2 (o.isde )
Let be the nabla on . is called the logarithmic derivative of if, for all ,
[TABLE]
Let as before. We set such that . We introduce a “geometric” differential equation on :
[TABLE]
A5 has a logarithmic derivative .
A6 The logarithmic derivative satisfies (4.7).
Theorem 4.1 (o.isde )
Assume A1–A6. Then there exists an such that and that, for each , ISDE (1.1) has a solution satisfying and for all .
From the coupling in Theorem 3.3 and Fukushima decomposition (It formula), we prove that satisfies the ISDEs of (1.1). We use the -labeled process , to apply It formula to coordinate functions .
5 Strong solutions of ISDEs and pathwise uniqueness
We lift the weak solutions to pathwise unique strong solutions. For this purpose, we introduce a scheme consisting of an infinite system of finite-dimensional SDEs with consistency (IFC), and perform an analysis of the tail -field of the path space . The key idea is the following interpretations:
a single ISDE a scheme of IFC.
the tail -field of the boundary condition of the ISDEs.
The method is robust and may be applied to many other models. We consider non-Markovian ISDEs because the argument is general. Let be
[TABLE]
We consider the ISDEs on of the form:
[TABLE]
Note that (1.1) is a special case of (5.8). We assume:
P1 The ISDEs (5.8) has a weak solution . (not a strong solution!)
From a weak solution , we define a new SDE of such that
[TABLE]
for each , , and . Here is interpreted as a part of the coefficients of the SDE (5.9) and . Indeed, we regard (5.9) as finite-dimensional SDEs of . (5.9) become automatically time-inhomogeneous SDEs. We have therefore obtained a scheme of finite-dimensional SDEs of . We assume:
P2 The SDE (5.9) has a unique, strong solution for each , , and .
Let be the distribution of solution on . Let
[TABLE]
P3 is -trivial for each and -a.s. .
Theorem 5.1 (o-t.tail )
*Assume P1–P3. Then
i is a strong solution of the ISDEs (5.8) for each .
ii Let and be strong solutions of the ISDEs (5.8) starting at defined on the same space of Brownian motions . Then for -a.s. if and only if for -a.s. .*
Idea of the proof i: Let be a weak solution of ISDE given by P1, and fix it. Let be the unique strong solution of (5.9) given by P2. By construction is -measurable. Because the solution (5.9) is unique, we see that . Let be the limit . Then and is -measurable. Because is -trivial by P3, depends only on and . This means is a strong solution. ∎
In o-t.tail we intoduce a notion of IFC solution, with which we generalize Theorem 5.1.
6 Tail triviality: Application to interacting Brownian motions.
We return to the Markovian-type ISDEs of (1.1). We assume A1–A6. We apply Theorem 5.1 to ISDEs of (1.1) by checking P1–P3. P1 follows from Theorem 4.1. Controlling the capacity of we obtain P2. Because and is a nice subset of , we can assume P2 for the solution of (1.1). Dirichlet form theory proves that stays in . Indeed, such a condition is reduced to a calculation of capacity related to the unlabeled Dirichlet space FOT.2 ; m-r . Roughly speaking, P2 is satisfied if for a suitable , see (o-t.tail, , Sections 8,9).
Theorem 6.1 (o-t.tail )
Assume Q1–Q3 below. Then P3 holds.
Q1* is tail trivial. That is, for all . *
Q2* for all . (absolute continuity condition). *
Q3* , *
where for .
Remark 1
i Determinantal point processes satisfy Q1 (see o-o.tt ).
ii Q2 is obvious because the unlabeled dynamics is -reversible.
iii Q3 is satisfied if the one-point correlation function satisfies for some .
Let and . Let
[TABLE]
Hence by definition, is the cylindrical tail -field of the unlabeled path space and is the cylindrical tail -field of the labeled path space . We deduce the triviality of from that of . We do this step-by-step following the scheme:
[TABLE]
We denote by the completion of the -field with respect to .
Definition 3
For , we set such that . We set
[TABLE]
i We call a -solution of (1.1) if satisfying and , and if is a solution of ISDE (1.1) for each .
ii We call a -strong solution if it is a -solution such that is a strong solution for each .
Definition 4
We say that the -strong uniqueness holds if the following holds.
i The -uniqueness in law holds. That is, in law for each for any pair of -solutions and satisfying Q2.
ii A -solution satisfying Q2 is a -strong solution for some .
iii The -pathwise uniqueness holds. That is, for each , where and are any pair of -strong solutions defined for the same Brownian motion satisfying Q2.
Theorem 6.2 (o-t.tail )
Make the same assumptions as for Theorem 4.1. Assume P2, Q1, and Q3. Then (1.1) has a -strong solution such that the associated unlabeled dynamics is -reversibile, and the -strong uniqueness holds.
7 Examples arising from random matrix theory.
The first three examples are particle systems in ( for Bessel), whereas the last example is in . All examples have logarithmic interaction potential.
**Sine, Airy, and Bessel IBM o.isde ; tsai.14 ; o-t.airy ; o-h.bes : ** Let .
[TABLE]
The equilibrium states of these dynamics are sine, Airy, and Bessel point processes ( (sine, Airy), (Bessel)). These point processes correspond to bulk, soft edge, and hard edge scaling limits respectively. The relationships to inverse temperature are: GOE, GUE, and GSE, respectively.
**Ginibre IBM o.isde : ** Let and . We consider two ISDEs.
[TABLE]
The equilibrium state is the Ginibre point process, which has various rigidities such as small variance shirai.06 , number rigidity GP , and dichotomy in its reduced Palm measures o-s.abs . The drift coefficients are equal on and tangential to the support of , yielding the coincidence of the solutions of (7.10) and (7.11). This dynamical rigidity reflects rigidity of .
Another dynamical rigidity is the sub-diffusivity o.sub : . All translation invariant IBMs in () with Ruelle-class potentials with hard core are diffusive o.p . Therefore the sub-diffusivity is in contrast with Ruelle-class potentials, and indicates a dynamical rigidity as a slow down in tagged particles.
8 Algebraic construction and finite particle approxiations
An algebraic construction is known for stochastic dynamics related to point processes appearing in random matrix theory in with , which is given by space-time correlation functions e.g. j.02 ; KT07b ; KT11 ; KT11-b . For example, as for the Airy2 point process, the multi-time, moment generating function is
[TABLE]
Here , , and is the extended Airy kernel
[TABLE]
Theorem 8.1 (o-t.sm ; o-t.core )
The algebraic construction and the ISDEs define the same stochastic dynamics for sine2, Airy2, and Bessel2.
By algebraic method, the finite particle approximation for sine2, Airy2, and Bessel2 is proved o-t.sm . By analytic method, the same is proved for these point processes with and also the Ginibre point process k-o.sg ; k-o.fpa . The latter approach is robust and valid for many other examples.
