Abstract: Exponential bounds for the $\beta$-mixing coefficient are established for the Student diffusion process. The latter is a Markov diffusion process with Student distribution as a stationary measure. The method is based on a direct estimation of moments and on polynomial Lyapunov functions for evaluating exponential functionals of hitting times.
