Sharp propagation of chaos in R\'enyi divergence

Probability 2026-02-10 v3

Abstract

We establish sharp rates for propagation of chaos in R\'enyi divergences for interacting diffusion systems at stationarity. Building upon the entropic hierarchy established in Lacker (2023), we show that under strong isoperimetry and weak interaction conditions, one can achieve Rq(μ1π)=O~(dq2N2)\mathsf R_q(\mu^1 \,\lVert\, \pi) = \widetilde O(\frac{d q^2}{N^2}) bounds on the qq-R\'enyi divergence.
