A diffusion operator on the $K$-rational points of a Tate elliptic curve $E_q$ is constructed, where $K$ is a non-archimedean local field, as well as an operator on the Berkovich-analytification $E_q^{an}$ of $E_q$. These are integral…

Graph diffusion models achieve state-of-the-art performance in graph generation but suffer from quadratic complexity in the number of nodes -- and much of their capacity is wasted modeling the absence of edges in sparse graphs. Inspired by…
