Abstract: | We study the large-time behavior and rate of convergence to the invariant measures of the processes dX
(t)=b(X)
(t)) dt + (X
(t)) dB(t). A crucial constant appears naturally in our study. Heuristically, when the time is of the order exp( – )/2 , the transition density has a good lower bound and when the process has run for about exp( – )/2, it is very close to the invariant measure. LetL
=(2/2) – U · be a second-order differential operator on d. Under suitable conditions,L
z has the discrete spectrum
