Harnack Inequality and Applications for Infinite-Dimensional GEM Processes
Abstract
The dimension-free Harnack inequality and uniform heat kernel upper/lower bounds are derived for a class of infinite-dimensional GEM processes, which was introduced in FW to simulate the two-parameter GEM distributions. In particular, the associated Dirichlet form satisfies the super log-Sobolev inequality which strengthens the log-Sobolev inequality derived in FW. To prove the main results, explicit Harnack inequality and super Poincar\'e inequality are established for the one-dimensional Wright-Fisher diffusion processes. The main tool of the study is the coupling by change of measures.
