In this note we consider a multi-slit Loewner equation with constant coefficients that describes the growth of multiple SLE curves connecting $N$ points on $\mathbb{R}$ to infinity within the upper half-plane. For every $N\in\mathbb{N}$,…
This paper explores the application of Stochastic Differential Equations (SDE) to interpret the text generation process of Large Language Models (LLMs) such as GPT-4. Text generation in LLMs is modeled as a stochastic process where each…
The (chordal) Loewner differential equation encodes certain curves in the half-plane (aka traces) by continuous real-valued driving functions. Not all curves are traces; the latter can be defined via a geometric condition called the local…
Stochastic processes have found numerous applications in science, as they are broadly used to model a variety of natural phenomena. Due to their intrinsic randomness and uncertainty, they are, however, difficult to characterize. Here, we…

We derive the large deviation principle for radial Schramm-Loewner evolution ($\operatorname{SLE}$) on the unit disk with parameter $\kappa \rightarrow \infty$. Restricting to the time interval $[0,1]$, the good rate function is finite only…

Recently, we and several other authors have written about the possibilities of using stochastic approximation techniques for fitting variational approximations to intractable Bayesian posterior distributions. Naive implementations of…

A famous characterization theorem due to C.F. Gauss states that the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of the parameter in a location family is the sample mean for all samples of all sample sizes if and only if the family is Gaussian. There…
