Let $\varUpsilon$ be the configuration space over a complete and separable metric base space, endowed with the Poisson measure $\pi$. We study the geometry of $\varUpsilon$ from the point of view of optimal transport and Ricci-lower bounds.…

We study the Brownian dynamics and linear response of a particle with inertia moving in a 2-dimensional helical landscape imprinted on a cylindrical surface. In the harmonic well approximation, the deterministic motion separates into free…

We show that the continuous-time gradient descent in Rn can be viewed as an optimal controlled evolution for a suitable action functional; a similar result holds for stochastic gradient descent. We then provide an analogous characterization…

We consider certain noncolliding interacting particle systems driven by Brownian noise. A key example is drifted Brownian motions conditioned not to intersect and related models of eigenvalues of Hermitian random matrices. We establish…

We study a general class of interacting particle systems over a countable state space $V$ where on each site $x \in V$ the particle mass $\eta(x) \geq 0$ follows a stochastic differential equation. We construct the corresponding Markovian…

Nonintersecting motion of Brownian particles in one dimension is studied. The system is constructed as the diffusion scaling limit of Fisher's vicious random walk. N particles start from the origin at time t=0 and then undergo mutually…

We study the connection between a system of many independent Brownian particles on one hand and the deterministic diffusion equation on the other. For a fixed time step $h>0$, a large-deviations rate functional $J_h$ characterizes the…
