Abstract

In this note, we establish that the stationary distribution of a possibly non-equilibrium Langevin diffusion converges, as the damping parameter goes to infinity (or equivalently in the Smoluchowski-Kramers vanishing mass limit), toward a tensor product of the stationary distribution of the corresponding overdamped process and of a Gaussian distribution.
