We study the spectrum of phase transitions with prescribed mean curvature in Riemannian manifolds. These phase transitions are solutions to an inhomogeneous semilinear elliptic PDE that give rise to diffuse objects (varifolds) that limit to…
Given any closed Riemannian manifold $M$, we construct a reversible diffusion process on the space ${\mathcal P}(M)$ of probability measures on $M$ that is (i) reversible w.r.t.~the entropic measure ${\mathbb P}^\beta$ on ${\mathcal P}(M)$,…
Let $M$ be a $d$-dimensional connected compact Riemannian manifold with boundary $\partial M$, let $V\in C^2(M)$ such that $\mu(dx):=e^{V(x)} d x$ is a probability measure, and let $X_t$ be the diffusion process generated by…
In the past decades, the central limit theorem (CLT) has been generalized to non-Euclidean data spaces. Some years ago, it was found that for some random variables on the circle, the sample Fr\'echet mean fluctuates around the population…
We present a collection of explicit diffusion approximations to small temperature Schr\"{o}dinger bridges on manifolds. Our most precise results are when both marginals are the same and the Schr\"{o}dinger bridge is on a manifold with a…
We present a model of anomalous diffusion consisting of an ensemble of particles undergoing homogeneous Brownian motion except for confinement by randomly placed reflecting boundaries. For power-law distributed compartment sizes, we…
We propose a new approach to quantize the marginals of the discrete Euler diffusion process. The method is built recursively and involves the conditional distribution of the marginals of the discrete Euler process. Analytically, the method…
Increasingly, statisticians are faced with the task of analyzing complex data that are non-Euclidean and specifically do not lie in a vector space. To address the need for statistical methods for such data, we introduce the concept of…
Fr\'echet mean and variance provide a way of obtaining mean and variance for general metric space valued random variables and can be used for statistical analysis of data objects that lie in abstract spaces devoid of algebraic structure and…

Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold. If $\mu$ is a probability measure on $M$ given by a continuous density function, one would expect the Fr\'{e}chet means of data-samples $Q=(q_1,q_2,\dots, q_N)\in M^N$, with respect to $\mu$, to behave…
We investigate an intermittent stochastic process in which the diffusive motion with time-dependent diffusion coefficient $D(t) \sim t^{\alpha -1}$ with $\alpha > 0$ (scaled Brownian motion) is stochastically reset to its initial position,…
Anomalous diffusion is frequently described by scaled Brownian motion (SBM), a Gaussian process with a power-law time dependent diffusion coefficient. Its mean squared displacement is $\langle x^2(t)\rangle\simeq\mathscr{K}(t)t$ with…
