In this short note, we give a sufficient condition for almost smooth compact metric measure spaces to satisfy the Bakry-\'Emery condition $BE (K, N)$. The sufficient condition is satisfied for the glued space of any two (not necessary same…

It has long been realized that the natural orbit space for non-abelian Yang-Mills dynamics is a positively curved (infinite dimensional) Riemannian manifold. Expanding on this result I.M. Singer proposed that strict positivity of the…
We study Bakry-Emery curvature for fractional Laplacian generators using a Fourier representation of the carr\'e du champ operator. For the stable generator of order gamma, the associated kernel on same-sign frequencies coincides with the…

In this paper, we focus on non-asymptotic bounds related to the Euler scheme of an ergodic diffusion with a possibly multiplicative diffusion term (non-constant diffusion coefficient). More precisely, the objective of this paper is to…
We unify and generalize the notions of vacuum and amplitude in linear quantum field theory in curved spacetime. Crucially, the generalized notion admits a localization in spacetime regions and on hypersurfaces. The underlying concept is…

We obtain an improved Bochner inequality based on the curvature-dimension condition ${\rm RCD}^*(K,N)$ and propose a definition of $N$-dimensional Ricci tensor on metric measure spaces.
Discretization of continuous-time diffusion processes is a widely recognized method for sampling. However, the canonical Euler Maruyama discretization of the Langevin diffusion process, referred as Unadjusted Langevin Algorithm (ULA),…
In this paper we derive Cheng-Yau, Li-Yau, Hamilton estimates for Riemannian manifolds with Bakry-Emery Ricci curvature bounded from below, and also global and local upper bounds, in terms of Bakry-Emery Ricci curvature, for the Hessian of…
Many problems in machine learning can be formulated as optimizing a convex functional over a vector space of measures. This paper studies the convergence of the mirror descent algorithm in this infinite-dimensional setting. Defining Bregman…
In the present article, we provide a characterization of a lower $N$-weighted Ricci curvature bound for $N \in ]-\infty,1]\cup[n,+\infty]$ with $\varepsilon$-range introduced by Lu-Minguzzi-Ohta in terms of a convexity of entropies over…
In this paper we consider a complete connected noncompact Riemannian manifold M with Ricci curvature bounded from below and positive injectivity radius. Denote by L the Laplace-Beltrami operator on M. We assume that the kernel associated to…

We show that the superconformal symmetries of the (1,1) sigma model decompose into a set of more refined symmetries when the target space admits projectors $P_{\pm}$, and the orthogonal complements $Q_{\pm}$, covariantly constant with…

Let $P_t$ be the (Neumann) diffusion semigroup $P_t$ generated by a weighted Laplacian on a complete connected Riemannian manifold $M$ without boundary or with a convex boundary. It is well known that the Bakry-Emery curvature is bounded…
