Wasserstein decay of one dimensional jump-diffusions
  This work is devoted to the Lipschitz contraction and the long time behavior of certain Markov processes. These processes diffuse and jump. They can represent some natural phenomena like size of cell or data transmission over the Internet. Using a Feynman-Kac semigroup, we prove a bound in Wasserstein metric. This bound is explicit and optimal in the sense of Wasserstein curvature. This notion of curvature is relatively close to the notion of (coarse) Ricci curvature or spectral gap. Several consequences and examples are developed, including an $L^2$ spectral for general Markov processes, explicit formulas for the integrals of compound Poisson processes with respect to a Brownian motion, quantitative bounds for Kolmogorov-Langevin processes and some total variation bounds for piecewise deterministic Markov processes.
