Regularized Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics for a Brownian particle in a nonconfining field

We consider an overdamped Brownian particle subject to an asymptotically flat potential with a trap of depth U_{0} around the origin. When the temperature is small compared to the trap depth (ξ=k_{B}T/U_{0}≪1), there exists a range of timescales over which physical observables remain practically con...
