Recent efforts have extended the flow-matching framework to discrete generative modeling. One strand of models directly works with the continuous probabilities instead of discrete tokens, which we colloquially refer to as Continuous-State…

We consider the compressible Euler system for ideal gas flow in the absence of any forces except the internal thermodynamic pressure. In this setting, and in dimensions higher 1, it is known that wave-focusing can drive Euler solutions to…

We consider a one-parameter family of strictly convex hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ moving with speed $- K^\alpha \nu$, where $\nu$ denotes the outward-pointing unit normal vector and $\alpha \geq \frac{1}{n+2}$. For $\alpha >…

The Gaussian $\beta$-ensemble is a real $n$-point configuration $\{x_j\}_1^n$ picked randomly with respect to the Boltzmann factor $e^{-\frac\beta 2H_n}$, $H_n=\sum_{i\ne j}\log\frac 1{|x_i-x_j|}+n\sum_{i=1}^n\tfrac 12x_i^2.$ The point…

We consider a one-dimensional dyadic branching Brownian motion on $\mathbb{R}$ with positive drift $\beta \in (0,1)$, branching rate $1/2$, reflected at $0$ and killed at a boundary $L > 0$. The killing boundary $L$ is chosen so that the…

Sampling conditional distributions is a fundamental task for Bayesian inference and density estimation. Generative models, such as normalizing flows and generative adversarial networks, characterize conditional distributions by learning a…

Flow matching (FM) has gained significant attention as a simulation-free generative model. Unlike diffusion models, which are based on stochastic differential equations, FM employs a simpler approach by solving an ordinary differential…

We solve a model of sluggish stochastic motion in which a Brownian particle diffuses with a diffusion coefficient that decays algebraically with the distance to the origin, as $|x|^{-\alpha}$. Additionally, the particle resets with a…
