Within path sampling framework, we show that probability distribution divergences, such as the Chernoff information, can be estimated via thermodynamic integration. The Boltzmann-Gibbs distribution pertaining to different Hamiltonians is…
We introduce two new classes of measures of information for statistical experiments which generalise and subsume $\phi$-divergences, integral probability metrics, $\mathfrak{N}$-distances (MMD), and $(f,\Gamma)$ divergences between two or…
The equivalence of correct Hamiltonian and naive Lagrangian (Faddeev--Popov) path integral quantization (Matthews's theorem) is proven for gauge theories with arbitrary effective interaction terms. Effective gauge-boson self-interactions…
We introduce efficient algorithms for approximate sampling from symmetric Gibbs distributions on the sparse random (hyper)graph. The examples we consider include (but are not restricted to) important distributions on spin systems and…
We provide a new paradigm for quantum simulation that is based on path integration that allows quantum speedups to be observed for problems that are more naturally expressed using the path integral formalism rather than the conventional…
The main result of this paper states that in a rooted product of a path with rooted graphs which are disposed in a somewhat mirror-symmetric fashion, there are distinct eigenvalues supported in the end vertices of the path which are too…
In this work we consider the HYBRID model of distributed computing, introduced recently by Augustine, Hinnenthal, Kuhn, Scheideler, and Schneider (SODA 2020), where nodes have access to two different communication modes: high-bandwidth…
The de Bruijn identity states that Fisher information is equal to a half of the time-derivative of Shannon differential entropy along heat flow. In the same spirit, a generalized version of Fisher information, which we term the…
Path reweighting is a principally exact method to estimate dynamic properties from biased simulations - provided that the path probability ratio matches the stochastic integrator used in the simulation. Previously reported path probability…
We establish a variant of the log-Sobolev and transport-information inequalities for mixture distributions. If a probability measure $\pi$ can be decomposed into components that individually satisfy such inequalities, then any measure $\mu$…
The so-called Pareto-Levy or power-law distribution has been successfully used as a model to describe probabilities associated to extreme variations of worldwide stock markets indexes data and it has the form $Pr(X>x) ~ x**(-alpha) for…
By using the $q$-Gaussian distribution derived by the maximum entropy method for spatially-correlated $N$-unit nonextensive systems, we have calculated the generalized Fisher information matrix of $g_{\theta_n \theta_m}$ for $(\theta_1,…
Relative Fisher information, also known as score matching, is a recently introduced learning method for parameter estimation. Fundamental relations between relative entropy and score matching have been established in the literature for…
We are interested in comparing probability distributions defined on Riemannian manifold. The traditional approach to study a distribution relies on locating its mean point and finding the dispersion about that point. On a general manifold…
A comparison technique for finite random walks on finite graphs is introduced, using the well-known interlacing method. It yields improved return probability bounds. A key feature is the incorporation of parts of the spectrum of the…
Score-based diffusion models have proven effective in image generation and have gained widespread usage; however, the underlying factors contributing to the performance disparity between stochastic and deterministic (i.e., the probability…
The function $\gamma(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$ plays an important role in mathematical physics, e.g. as factor for relativistic time dilation in case of $x=\beta$ with $\beta=\frac{v}{c}$ or $\beta=\frac{pc}{E}$. Due to former…
We establish a quantum version of the classical isoperimetric inequality relating the Fisher information and the entropy power of a quantum state. The key tool is a Fisher information inequality for a state which results from a certain…

We consider a wide class of semi linear Hamiltonian partial differential equa- tions and their approximation by time splitting methods. We assume that the nonlinearity is polynomial, and that the numerical tra jectory remains at least uni-…
