A Direct Route to Markov Chain Convergence via Asymptotic Equivalence with the Target
Patrick Forré

For a Markov kernel $T$ with an invariant probability measure $π$, we give a self-contained proof of the Markov chain convergence theorem via a criterion called asymptotic equivalence with the target. It assumes two parts about the Lebesgue decompositions of $T^{n}_{x}$ and $π$ for every starting point $x$: 1.) asymptotic absolute continuity: the singular mass sing$(T^{n}_{x}\midπ)$ tends to $0$; 2.) asymptotic domination of the target: the...
