An interesting question in the field of martingale optimal transport, is to determine the martingale with prescribed initial and terminal marginals which is most correlated to Brownian motion. Under a necessary and sufficient irreducibility…
We introduce and study geometric Bass martingales. Bass martingales were introduced in \cite{Ba83} and studied recently in a series of works, including \cite{BaBeHuKa20,BaBeScTs23}, where they appear as solutions to the martingale version…
We consider an irreducible pair $\mu \leq_c \nu$ of probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$ in convex order. In arXiv:2306.11019, Backhoff, Beiglb\"ock, Schachermayer and Tschiderer have shown that the Stretched Brownian Motion from $\mu$ to…
An intriguing question in martingale optimal transport is to characterize the martingale with prescribed initial and terminal marginals whose transition kernel is as Gaussian as possible. In this work we address an extension of this…
In classical optimal transport, the contributions of Benamou$-$Brenier and McCann regarding the time-dependent version of the problem are cornerstones of the field and form the basis for a variety of applications in other mathematical…
We develop a numerical method for the martingale analogue of the Benamou--Brenier optimal transport problem, which seeks a martingale interpolating two prescribed marginals which is closest to the Brownian motion. Recent contributions have…
In previous work J. Backhoff-Veraguas, M. Beiglb\"ock and the present authors showed that the notions of stretched Brownian motion and Bass martingale between two probability measures on Euclidean space coincide if and only if these two…
We consider a branching Brownian motion in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We prove that there exists a random subset $\Theta$ of $\mathbb{S}^{d-1}$ such that the limit of the derivative martingale exists simultaneously for all directions $\theta \in…
We study a semimartingale optimal transport problem interpolating between the Schr\"odinger bridge and the stretched Brownian motion associated with the Bass solution of the Skorokhod embedding problem. The cost combines an entropy term on…
This short paper announces the main results of \cite{SBB2026}, where the Schr\"odinger--Bass Bridge (SBB) problem is introduced and studied in full generality. Here we provide a direct PDE derivation of the SBB system in dimension one,…
We consider in this work small random perturbations (of multiplicative noise type) of the gradient flow. We prove that under mild conditions, when the potential function is a Morse function with additional strong saddle condition, the…
The martingale part in the semimartingale decomposition of a Brownian motion with respect to an enlargement of its filtration, is an anticipative mapping of the given Brownian motion. In analogy to optimal transport theory, we define causal…
We consider minimization of a smooth nonconvex function with inexact oracle access to gradient and Hessian (without assuming access to the function value) to achieve approximate second-order optimality. A novel feature of our method is that…
The Bayesian update can be viewed as a variational problem by characterizing the posterior as the minimizer of a functional. The variational viewpoint is far from new and is at the heart of popular methods for posterior approximation.…
Statistically self-similar measures on $[0,1]$ are limit of multiplicative cascades of random weights distributed on the $b$-adic subintervals of $[0,1]$. These weights are i.i.d, positive, and of expectation $1/b$. We extend these cascades…
Let $(Z_t)_{t\geq 0}$ denote the derivative martingale of branching Brownian motion, i.e.\@ the derivative with respect to the inverse temperature of the normalized partition function at critical temperature. A well-known result by Lalley…
In this paper we introduce the notion of fractional martingale as the fractional derivative of order $\alpha$ of a continuous local martingale, where $\alpha\in(-{1/2},{1/2})$, and we show that it has a nonzero finite variation of order…
Despite the widespread use of gradient-based algorithms for optimizing high-dimensional non-convex functions, understanding their ability of finding good minima instead of being trapped in spurious ones remains to a large extent an open…
Consider the sum $Y=B+B(H)$ of a Brownian motion $B$ and an independent fractional Brownian motion $B(H)$ with Hurst parameter $H\in(0,1)$. Even though $B(H)$ is not a semimartingale, it was shown in [\textit{Bernoulli} \textbf{7} (2001)…
In this paper, we assume that the filtration $\bb F$ is generated by a $d$-dimensional Brownian motion $W=(W_1,\cdots,W_d)'$ as well as an integer-valued random measure $\mu(du,dy)$. The random variable $\ttau$ is the default time and $L$…
