Exit time and principal eigenvalue of non-reversible elliptic diffusions

Dorian Le Peutrec, Laurent Michel, Boris Nectoux

In this work, we analyse the metastability of non-reversible diffusion processes $$d{X}_t=\mathbf{b}(X_t)dt+\sqrt{h}d{B}_t$$ on a bounded domain $\Omega$ when $\mathbf{b}$ admits the d…
