The mean-field dynamics of a particle in a random, but short range correlated potential, offers the opportunity of observing both aging and driven stationary regimes. Using a geometrical approach previously introduced by the author, we…

We study a high-dimensional stochastic optimization problem which features both control and stopping. In particular, a central planner steers a large population of particles, and can also remove particles at any time by paying a penalty. In…
