Abstract

A pair (X, Y) of Markov processes on a metric space is called a Markov coupling if X and Y have the same transition probabilities and (X, Y) is a Markov process. We say that a coupling is "shy" if inf _{t ≥ 0} dist(X _t, Y _t) ≥ 0 with positive probability. We investigate whether shy couplings exist for several classes of Markov processes.
