Title: Coupling approaches for Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods
on high dimensional state spaces

Abstract: Standard tools for establishing and quantifying convergence to equilibrium of Markov processes are either analytic (functional inequalities, conductance, hypocoercivity) or probabilistic (couplings). In recent years, several corresponding approaches have been developed in order to study Markov processes related to MCMC methods on high dimensional euclidean state spaces. In this talk, I will present coupling approaches and their applications to different models and algorithms.
