Abstract: | We say that n independent trajectories ξ1(t),…,ξ
n
(t) of a stochastic process ξ(t)on a metric space are asymptotically separated if, for some ɛ > 0, the distance between ξ
i
(t
i
) and ξ
j
(t
j
) is at least ɛ, for some indices i, j and for all large enough t
1,…,t
n
, with probability 1. We prove sufficient conitions for asymptotic separationin terms of the Green function and the transition
function, for a wide class of Markov processes. In particular,if ξ is the diffusion on a Riemannian manifold generated by
the Laplace operator Δ, and the heat kernel p(t, x, y) satisfies the inequality p(t, x, x) ≤ Ct
−ν/2 then n trajectories of ξ are asymptotically separated provided . Moreover, if for some α∈(0, 2)then n trajectories of ξ(α) are asymptotically separated, where ξ(α) is the α-process generated by −(−Δ)α/2.
