Simple Random Walks on Higher Dimensional Tori are Mixing and Not Uniquely Ergodic

Abstract It has been shown that in one dimension the environment viewed by the particle process (EVP process) in quasi periodic random environment is uniquely ergodic and mixing under mild additional assumptions. Here we construct an analytic quasi periodic environment on higher dimensional torus such that the EVP process is not uniquely ergodic. The stationary measures in this counterexample are necessarily atomless. We show also that the EVP process is mixing with respect to any ergodic stationary measure under some smoothness assumption.

Abstract

Abstract It has been shown that in one dimension the environment viewed by the particle process (EVP process) in quasi periodic random environment is uniquely ergodic and mixing under mild additional assumptions. Here we construct an analytic quasi periodic environment on higher dimensional torus such that the EVP process is not uniquely ergodic. The stationary measures in this counterexample are necessarily atomless. We show also that the EVP process is mixing with respect to any ergodic stationary measure under some smoothness assumption.
