Abstract: Two degenerate SDEs arising in statistical
physics are studied.
The first is a Langevin equation with
state-dependent noise and damping. The second
is the equation
of motion for a particle obeying Stokes' law
in a Gaussian
random field; this field is chosen to mimic
certain features
of turbulence. Both equations are
hypo-elliptic and smoothness
of probability densities may be established.
By developing
appropriate Lyapunov functions and by
studying the necessary
control problems, geometric ergodicity is proved.
