Description
Summary:We investigate the asymptotic behavior, in the long time limit, of the random homology associated to realizations of stochastic diffusion processes on a compact Riemannian manifold. In particular a rigidity result is established: if the rate is quadratic, then the manifold is a locally trivial fiber bundle over a flat torus, with fibers being minimal in a weighted sense (that is, regarding the manifold as a metric measured space, with the invariant probability being the weight measure). Surprisingly, this entails that at least for some classes of manifolds, the homology of non-reversible processes relaxes to equilibrium slower than its reversible counterpart (as opposed to the respective empirical measure, which relaxes faster).
