For a sufficiently regular unit-mass solution, the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Fokker-Planck equation is . Integration by parts proves the displayed identity. Consequently relative entropy decreases, and its dissipation is relative Fisher information.
Multiply the Fokker-Planck equation by and integrate over and all , assuming the required boundary terms vanish. Integration by parts gives
The mixed moment is not determined by : the current strain and the accumulated magnetic field are correlated. Zero mean strain does not imply , so this is an unclosed moment equation.
Keep the strain dependence by defining . The magnetic drift term satisfies
The strain derivatives commute with the integral. Hence
This weighted density obeys a tilted Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Fokker-Planck equation. Its integral over is the desired moment, while retaining makes the evolution closed.
For the normalized standard Gaussian density,
The two terms cancel, so the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Fokker-Planck equation has stationary density for a Fokker-Planck equation
Equivalently its Fokker-Planck probability current vanishes identically. The normalization follows from the Gaussian integral in each coordinate.

A probability density left unchanged by the Fokker-Planck equation . Equivalently its Fokker-Planck probability current has zero divergence; the current itself need not vanish. For the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Fokker-Planck equation, the normalized standard Gaussian density has zero current and is stationary.
