Abstract

We rigorously derive the effective large-population, mean-field dynamics of particle-based reactive Langevin dynamics (PBRLD) models. These models extend particle-based stochastic reaction-diffusion (PBSRD) descriptions by incorporating velocities, inertial effects, and underdamped motion. In Isaacson, Liu, Spiliopoulos, and Yao, SIAP 2026, PBRLD models were formulated and shown to recover Doi volume reactivity PBSRD model in the overdamped limit. In this work we prove convergence of the associated measure-valued stochastic processes, representing species concentration fields on position-velocity phase space, to a deterministic mean-field limit. The limiting equations form a novel system of nonlocal kinetic reaction-diffusion partial integro-differential equations, coupling hypoelliptic transport with reaction terms that retain the spatial and velocity structure of the underlying particle interactions.

Hermite trace polynomials and chaos decompositions for the Hermitian Brownian motion

For a non-zero parameter $q$, we define Hermite trace polynomials, which are multivariate polynomials indexed by permutations. We prove several combinatorial properties for them, such as expansions and product formulas. The linear functional determined by these trace polynomials is a state for $q = \frac{1}{N}$ for $N$ a non-zero integer. For such $q$, Hermite trace polynomials of different degrees are orthogonal. The product formulas extend to the closure with respect to the state. The state can be identified with the expectation induced by the $N \times N$ Hermitian Brownian motion. Hermite trace polynomials are martingales for this Brownian motion, while the elements in the closure can be interpreted as stochastic integrals with respect to it. Using the grading on the algebra, we prove several chaos decompositions for such integrals, as well as analyze corresponding creation and annihilation operators. In the univariate, pure trace polynomial case, trace Hermite polynomials can be identified with the Hermite polynomials of matrix argument.

Operator level hard edge to bulk transition in $β$-ensembles via canonical systems

The hard edge and bulk scaling limits of $β$-ensembles are described by the stochastic Bessel and sine operators, which are respectively a random Sturm-Liouville operator and a random Dirac operator. By representing both operators as canonical systems, we show that in a suitable high-energy scaling limit, the stochastic Bessel operator converges in law to the stochastic sine operator. This is first done in the vague topology of canonical systems' coefficient matrices, and then extended to the convergence of the associated Weyl-Titchmarsh functions and spectral measures. The proof relies on a coupling between the Brownian motions that drive the two operators, under which the convergence holds in probability. As part of the proof, we also obtain $t\to-\infty$ asymptotics for solutions to the eigenvalue equation of the stochastic Bessel operator.
