Heat Geometry from a Universal Scalar Process

Abstract

We prove that the law of one smooth scalar process in a finite Wiener chaos completely determines finite families of symmetric tensors on arbitrary real separable Hilbert spaces, up to simultaneous orthogonal equivalence. Gaussian graph characters recover all contractions, while an intrinsic trace class Gram operator reduces the problem to finite dimensional invariant theory. Applied at a single fixed positive time to the canonical quadratic and quartic heat packet, this principle reconstructs the heat generator and forces every reconstructed unitary to be spatial. Consequently, one universal scalar process determines closed Riemannian manifolds, compact $\operatorname{RCD}$ spaces of finite dimension, and Euclidean bundles with metric connection and self adjoint potential. The heat packet functor is fully faithful, and its tensor automorphisms are precisely the geometric ones.

Distribution-uniform strong laws of large numbers

We revisit the question of whether the strong law of large numbers (SLLN) holds uniformly in a rich family of distributions, culminating in a distribution-uniform generalization of the Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund SLLN. These results can be viewed as extensions of Chung's distribution-uniform SLLN to random variables with uniformly integrable $q^\text{th}$ absolute central moments for $0 < q < 2$. Furthermore, we show that uniform integrability of the $q^\text{th}$ moment is both sufficient and necessary for the SLLN to hold uniformly at the Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund rate of $n^{1/q - 1}$. These proofs centrally rely on novel distribution-uniform analogues of some familiar almost sure convergence results including the Khintchine-Kolmogorov convergence theorem, Kolmogorov's three-series theorem, a stochastic generalization of Kronecker's lemma, and the Borel-Cantelli lemmas. We also consider the non-identically distributed case.

Malliavin Calculus for rough stochastic differential equations

In this work we show that rough stochastic differential equations (RSDEs), as introduced by Friz, Hocquet, and Lê (2021), are Malliavin differentiable. We use this to prove existence of a density when the diffusion coefficients satisfies standard ellipticity assumptions. Moreover, when the coefficients are smooth and the diffusion coefficients satisfies a Hörmander condition, the density is shown to be smooth. The key ingredient is to develop a comprehensive theory of linear rough stochastic differential equations, which could be of independent interest.

Nonasymptotic and distribution-uniform Komlós-Major-Tusnády approximation

We present nonasymptotic concentration inequalities for sums of independent and identically distributed random variables that yield asymptotic strong Gaussian approximations of Komlós, Major, and Tusnády (KMT) [1975,1976]. The constants appearing in our inequalities are either universal or explicit, and thus as corollaries, they imply distribution-uniform generalizations of the aforementioned KMT approximations. In particular, it is shown that uniform integrability of a random variable's $q^{\text{th}}$ moment is both necessary and sufficient for the KMT approximations to hold uniformly at the rate of $o(n^{1/q})$ for $q > 2$ and that having a uniformly lower bounded Sakhanenko parameter -- equivalently, a uniformly upper-bounded Bernstein parameter -- is both necessary and sufficient for the KMT approximations to hold uniformly at the rate of $O(\log n)$. Instantiating these uniform results for a single probability space yields the analogous results of KMT exactly.
