Spectral approaches to ageing
- Anton Bovier (TU Berlin + Weierstrass Institute Berlin)
Abstract
We investigate spectral characteristics of Markov chains that exhibit ageing. We consider two rather systems with rather different properties, Bouchaud's trap model and Sinai's random walk, and show how in both cases it is possible to obtain enough information on eigennvalues and eigenfunctions to deduce in an easy way all relevant dynamical properties.
