Score-based generative models exhibit state of the art performance on density estimation and generative modeling tasks. These models typically assume that the data geometry is flat, yet recent extensions have been developed to synthesize…

Following Le Jan and Watanabe we define a connection associated with a non-degenrrate diffusion operators. This connection is characterized here and shown to be the Levi-Civita connection for gradient systems. This both explains why such…

The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we introduce the notion of a $\Gamma$-martingale on a Euclidean manifold with a boundary (i.e., the closure of an open connected domain in R d ), we provide its equivalent characterization…
