Lott-Sturm-Villani theory of curvature on geodesic spaces has been extended to discrete graph spaces by C. L{\'e}onard by replacing W2-Wasserstein geodesics by Schr{\"o}odinger bridges in the definition of entropic curvature [23, 25, 24].…

We establish a point-wise gradient estimate for $all$ positive solutions of the conjugate heat equation. This contrasts to Perelman's point-wise gradient estimate which works mainly for the fundamental solution rather than all solutions.…

R. Thom's gradient conjecture states that if a gradient flow of an analytic function converges to a limit, it does so along a unique limiting direction. In this paper, we extend and settle this conjecture in the context of infinite…

Covariate shift arises when covariate distributions differ between source and target populations while the conditional distribution of the response remains invariant, and it underlies problems in missing data and causal inference. We…

Gradient extremals are loci along which the gradient is an eigenvector of the Hessian. These objects provide a natural geometric framework connecting several notions, notably valleys and talwegs, which we analyze from a variational…

In this paper, we consider a manifold evolving by a general geometric flow and study parabolic equation \[ (\Delta -q(x,t)-\partial_t)u(x,t)=A(u(x,t)),\quad (x,t)\in M\times [0,T]. \] We establish space-time gradient estimates for positive…

Domain shifts in the training data are common in practical applications of machine learning; they occur for instance when the data is coming from different sources. Ideally, a ML model should work well independently of these shifts, for…
