This paper provides a new characterization of the stochastic invariance of a closed subset of R^d with respect to a diffusion. We extend the well-known inward pointing Stratonovich drift condition to the case where the diffusion matrix can…
This paper explores the reconstruction of drift or diffusion coefficients of a scalar stochastic diffusion processes as it starts from an initial value and reaches, for the first time, a threshold value. We show that the distribution…
We study diffusive mixing in the presence of thermal fluctuations under the assumption of large Schmidt number. In this regime we obtain a limiting equation that contains a diffusive thermal drift term with diffusion coefficient obeying a…
Identifying the drift and diffusion of an SDE from its population dynamics is a notoriously challenging task. Researchers in machine learning and single-cell biology have only been able to prove a partial identifiability result: for…

We study one-dimensional stochastic integral equations with non-smooth dispersion coefficients, and with drift components that are not restricted to be absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue measure. In the spirit of Lamperti, Doss…
We consider a stochastic flow driven by a finite dimensional Brownian motion. We show that almost every realization of such a flow exhibits strong statistical properties such as the exponential convergence of an initial measure to the…
We describe a class of explicit invariant measures for both finite and infinite dimensional Stochastic Differential Equations (SDE) driven by L\'evy noise. We first discuss in details the finite dimensional case with a linear, resp. non…
Steady incompressible potential flows of an inviscid or viscous fluid are considered in infinite N-dimensional cylinders with tangential boundary conditions. We show that such flows, if away from stagnation, are constant and parallel to the…
We study the existence and long-time asymptotics of weak solutions to a system of two nonlinear drift-diffusion equations that has a gradient flow structure in the Wasserstein distance. The two equations are coupled through a…
Many normalizing flow architectures impose regularity constraints, yet their distributional approximation properties are not fully characterized. We study the expressivity of bi-Lipschitz normalizing flows through the lens of score-based…
Stochastic interpolants unify flows and diffusions, popular generative modeling frameworks. A primary hyperparameter in these methods is the interpolation schedule that determines how to bridge a standard Gaussian base measure to an…
We analyze the dynamics of streaming stochastic gradient descent (SGD) in the high-dimensional limit when applied to generalized linear models and multi-index models (e.g. logistic regression, phase retrieval) with general data-covariance.…
In this paper, we establish the existence of a stochastic flow of Sobolev diffeomorphisms \[\mathbb{R}^d\ni x\quad\longmapsto\quad\phi_{s,t}(x)\in \mathbb{R}^d,\qquad s,t\in\mathbb{R}\] for a stochastic differential equation (SDE) of the…
We study Malliavin differentiability for the solutions of a stochastic differential equation with drift of super-linear growth. Assuming we have a monotone drift with polynomial growth, we prove Malliavin differentiability of any order. As…
I was asked to make my, by now quite old PhD thesis, available on the arxiv, for parts of it was never submitted for publication. The thesis offers a systematic study of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) on non-compact spaces. In…
We study strong approximation of $d$-dimensional stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with a discontinuous drift coefficient. More precisely, we essentially assume that the drift coefficient is piecewise Lipschitz continuous with an…

Stochastic differential equations (SDEs) describe dynamical systems where deterministic flows, governed by a drift function, are superimposed with random fluctuations, dictated by a diffusion function. The accurate estimation (or discovery)…
