48 results for Markov Uniqueness Conjecture

We define a finite-dimensional cubic quotient of the group algebra of the braid group, endowed with a (essentially unique) Markov trace which affords the Links-Grould invariant of knots and links. We investigate several of its properties, and state several conjectures about its structure.

Due to Čencov's theorem, there exists a unique family of invariant symmetric (0,2)(0,2)-tensor fields on the space of positive probability measures on a set of nn-points indexed by nNn\in \mathbb{N} under Markov embeddings. We deform Markov embeddings keeping sufficiency, and prove existence and uniqueness of invariant f…

In his 2011 work, Maas has shown that the law of any time-reversible continuous-time Markov chain with finite state space evolves like a gradient flow of the relative entropy with respect to its stationary distribution. In this work we show the converse to the above by showing that if the relative law of a Markov chain…
