Abstract: The hypercontractivity is proved for the Markov semigroupassociated with a class of stochastic Hamiltonian systemson Hilbert spaces. Consequently, the Markov semigroup convergesexponentially to the invariant probability measure inentropy and is compact for large time. These strengthen thehypocoercivity results derived in the literature. Since the log-Sobolev inequality is invalid, we introduce a new argument toprove the hypercontractivity using coupling and dimensionfreeHarnack inequality. The main results are illustrated byconcrete examples of the kinetic Fokker–Planck equation andhighly degenerate diffusion processes.
