If $(X_t)_{tge0}$ is a Markov process with invariant measure $mu$, does the distribution of $X_t$ weakly...

Let





  • $(Omega,mathcal A,operatorname P)$ be a complete probability space


  • $(X_t)_{tge0}$ be a time-homogeneous Markov process on $(Omega,mathcal A,operatorname P)$ and $kappa_t$ denote a regular version of the conditional distribution of $X_t$ given $X_0$ for $tge0$, i.e. $$kappa_t(x,B)=operatorname Pleft[X_tin Bmid X_0=xright];;;text{for all }(x,B)inmathbb Rtimesmathcal B(mathbb R)tag1$$


  • $C_0(mathbb R)$ denote the space of continuous functions on $mathbb R$ vanishing at infinity


  • $mu$ be a probability measure on $(mathbb R,mathcal B(mathbb R))$


As usual, let $$kappa_tf:=intkappa_t(x,{rm d}y)f(y)$$ for bounded Borel measurable $f:mathbb Rtomathbb R$ and $tge0$.
Assume $$kappa_tC_0(mathbb R)subseteq C_0(mathbb R);;;text{for all }tge0.tag2$$



Let $$mu_t(B):=operatorname Pleft[X_tin Bright];;;text{for }Binmathcal B(mathbb R)$$ for $tge0$. It's easy to see that weak convergence of $mu_t$ to $mu$ as $ttoinfty$ implies that $mu$ is invariant with respect to $(kappa_t)_{tge0}$, i.e. $$mukappa_t=mu;;;text{for all }tge0,$$ where $mukappa_t$ denotes the composition of $mu$ and $kappa_t$.




Does the converse hold as well, i.e. if $mu$ is invariant with respect to $(kappa_t)_{tge0}$, are we able to conclude that $mu_t$ converges weakly to $mu$ as $ttoinfty$?

    What is the relation between $mu_t$, $kappa_t$ and $mu$? Is it something like $$mu_t (B) = int kappa_t(x,B) mu(, d x) = P^{mu}(X_t in B) ?$$ Because otherwise $mu_t to mu$ weakly will not imply $mu kappa_t = mu$.

    @Sayantan We've got $mu_t=mu_0otimes kappa_t$ (product of $mu_0$ and $kappa_t$).
