The Lyapunov spectrum describes the exponential growth, or decay, of infinitesimal phase-space perturbations. The perturbation associated with the maximum Lyapunov exponent is strongly localized in space, and only a small fraction of all…

Polar slice sampling, a Markov chain construction for approximate sampling, performs, under suitable assumptions on the target and initial distribution, provably independent of the state space dimension. We extend the aforementioned result…
We study the $L^2$ spectral gap of a large system of strongly coupled diffusions on unbounded state space and subject to a double-well potential. This system can be seen as a spatially discrete approximation of the stochastic Allen-Cahn…
We establish the spectral gap property for dense subgroups of $SU(d)$ ($d\geq 2$), generated by finitely many elements with algebraic entries; this result was announced in [BG3]. The method of proof differs, in several crucial aspects, from…

In this paper, we prove a couple of new nonlinear functional inequalities of Sobolev type akin to the logarithmic Sobolev inequality. In particular, one of the inequalities reads $$ \int_{\mathbb{S}^1}\arctan\left(\frac{\partial_x…
A study of a non-linear parabolic SPDEs of the form $\partial_{t}u=\mathcal{L}\,u + \sigma(u)f(B_t^x,t)\dot{w}$ with $\dot{w}$ as the space-time white noise and $f(B_t^x,t)$ a space-time harmonic function was done. The function…
Sharp comparison theorems are derived for all eigenvalues of the (weighted) Laplacian, for various classes of weighted-manifolds (i.e. Riemannian manifolds endowed with a smooth positive density). Examples include Euclidean space endowed…
We study a class of elliptic SPDEs with additive Gaussian noise on $\mathbb{R}^2 \times M$, with $M$ a $d$-dimensional manifold equipped with a positive Radon measure, and a real-valued non linearity given by the derivative of a smooth…
We construct a family of self-adjoint operators on the prime numbers whose entries depend on pairwise arithmetic divergences, replacing geometric distance with number-theoretic dissimilarity. The resulting spectra encode how coherence…
We calculate the complete one-loop effective potential for SU(2) gauge bosons at temperature T as a function of two variables: phi, the angle associated with a non-trivial Polyakov loop, and H, a constant background chromomagnetic field.…
We prove the existence of solution to the following $\mathbb{C}^3$-valued singular SPDE on the 2D torus $\mathbb{T}^2$: \begin{align} \label{CR} \partial_{\bar z} r = r \times \overline{r} + i \, \gamma \, {\mathscr W}, \tag{CR} \end{align}…
