Markov Chains in Discrete Time
Develops conductance, warm starts, mixing, and functional inequalities for discrete-time transition kernels.

The chapter uses this material in the route toward The Metropolis-Hastings correction preserves the target through detailed balance. The declaration-level source map is intentionally left inside the formalization layer until exact theorem anchors have been audited.
Why is this valid?
Chapter-level validity conditions
- Kernel measurability and exceptional zero-density cases must be defined.
- Detailed balance is a measure identity, not merely a pointwise density calculation.
- Cold-start arguments require smoothing or explicit initialization bounds.
