Consider an empirical measure $\mathbb{P}_n$ induced by $n$ iid samples from a $d$-dimensional $K$-subgaussian distribution $\mathbb{P}$ and let $\gamma = N(0,\sigma^2 I_d)$ be the isotropic Gaussian measure. We study the speed of…

We study a large class of McKean-Vlasov SDEs with drift and diffusion coefficient depending on the density of the solution's time marginal laws in a Nemytskii-type of way. A McKean-Vlasov SDE of this kind arises from the study of the…
