Abstract
Qualitative theory describes the long term behavior of stochastic systems without solving the equations. In this paper we concentrate on transience, recurrence and ergodic properties of Markov solutions of stochastic differential equations. For several approaches the relations between the regularity of the transition semigroup (strong Markov — Feller — strong Feller-nondegeneracy) and the adequat topology are discussed. Results are given for diffusions, i.e. Feller processes with continuous trajectories on some state space X ⊂ ℝd, endowed with the usual topology from ℝd, because this is the situation amenable for applications.
