By decoupling forward and backward stochastic trajectories, we construct a family of martingales and work theorems for both overdamped and underdamped Langevin dynamics. Our results are made possible by an alternative derivation of work…

The training of modern machine learning models often consists in solving high-dimensional non-convex optimisation problems that are subject to large-scale data. In this context, momentum-based stochastic optimisation algorithms have become…

The detection and quantification of non-Markovianity, a.k.a. memory, in quantum systems is a central problem in the theory of open quantum systems. There memory is as a result of the interaction between the system and its environment.…

This article deals with IDT processes, i.e. processes which are infinitely divisible with respect to time. Given an IDT process $(X_{t},\,t\geq0)$, there exists a unique (in law) L\'evy process $(L_{t}; t\geq0)$ which has the same…

In this paper we define contractive and nonexpansive properties for adapted stochastic processes $X_1, X_2, \ldots $ which can be used to deduce limiting properties. In general, nonexpansive processes possess finite limits while contractive…

We develop a general method for extending Markov processes to a larger state space such that the added points form a polar set. The so obtained extension is an improvement on the standard trivial extension in which case the process is made…

We study a variable length Markov chain model associated with a group of stationary processes that share the same context tree but each process has potentially different conditional probabilities. We propose a new model selection and…

When is keeping a memory of observations worthwhile? We use hidden Markov models to look at phase transitions that emerge when comparing state estimates in systems with discrete states and noisy observations. We infer the underlying state…

We develop and implement new probabilistic strategy for proving basic results about long time behaviour for interacting diffusion processes on unbounded lattice. The concept of the solution used is rather weak as we construct the process as…

We introduce LAMP: the Linear Additive Markov Process. Transitions in LAMP may be influenced by states visited in the distant history of the process, but unlike higher-order Markov processes, LAMP retains an efficient parametrization. LAMP…

Some classes of increment martingales, and the corresponding localized classes, are studied. An increment martingale is indexed by the real line and its increment processes are martingales. We focus primarily on the behavior as time goes to…
