Abstract

We study the rough differential equation $$ \frac{du_t}{dt}= F(u_t) ζ_t, \ \ u(0) = u_0 \in \mathbb{R}^d, $$ where $F : \mathbb{R}^d \to L(\mathbb{R}^d, \mathbb{R}^d)$ is a sufficiently regular vector field, and the noise $ζ$ is a distribution in $\mathscr{C}^{α-1}(\mathbb{R})$ for $α\in (\frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{3})$. We construct solutions to this equation at lower regularity than previous work of Gubinelli-Imkeller-Perkowski and Prömel-Trabs using ideas from the high-order paracontrolled viewpoint of Bailleul-Bernicot. The key tool in our work is the development of a harmonic-analytic framework for proving a set of iterated commutator estimates which are necessary for the solution theory. We also show the procedure of enhancement when the noise $ζ= dZ$, where $Z$ is a realization of fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter $H \in (\frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{3})$.

Free probability via entropic optimal transport

Let $μ$ and $ν$ be compactly supported probability measures on $\mathbb{R}$, and let $μ\boxplus ν$ denote their additive free convolution. We show that for all sufficiently large real $z$, \begin{equation} \int_{-\infty}^\infty \log(z - x) \, (μ\boxplus ν)(\mathrm{d}x) = \sup_Π \left\{ \mathbf{E}_Π[\log(z - (X+Y))] - H(Π\mid μ\otimes ν) \right\}, \end{equation} where the supremum is taken over all couplings $Π$ of $μ$ and $ν$. Analogous formulas hold for multiplicative free convolution $μ\boxtimes ν$ and free compression $[μ]_τ$. In this way, integrals of a log-potential against free convolutions can be expressed as entropic optimal transport problems. The corresponding optimal couplings admit explicit formulas, from which the standard $R$- and $S$-transform descriptions of additive and multiplicative free convolution are recovered. In particular, the optimizer $Π_z$ encodes the subordination equations via couplings of random variables. Our approach is based on a large deviation principle on the symmetric group, combined with the quadrature method of Marcus--Spielman--Srivastava.

Scaling limit of boundary random walks: A martingale problem approach

We establish the scaling limit of a class of boundary random walks to the full spectrum of Brownian-type processes on the half-line. By solving the associated martingale problem and employing weak convergence techniques, we prove that under appropriate scaling, the process converges to the general Brownian motion in the $J_1$-Skorokhod topology. The main novelty of our approach lies in a result on the asymptotic behavior of the local time of the boundary random walks, allowing us to derive a CLT result for several Brownian-type limit processes on the half-line.

Random Polyhedral Cones I: Distributional Results via Gale Duality

Let $U_1,\ldots,U_n$ be independent random vectors uniformly distributed on the unit sphere $\mathbb S^{d-1}\subseteq\mathbb R^d$, where $n\ge d$, and consider the random polyhedral cone \[ \mathcal W_{n,d}:=\mathop{\mathrm{pos}} (U_1,\ldots,U_n) = \{λ_1 U_1+ \ldots + λ_n U_n: λ_1\geq 0, \ldots, λ_n \geq 0\}. \] We establish several distributional results for $\mathcal W_{n,d}$ and the associated spherical polytope $\mathcal W_{n,d}\cap\mathbb S^{d-1}$. Our main contributions include: (i) Let $α_d$ denote the solid angle of $\mathcal W_{d,d}$ and write $m(d,k):=\mathbb E[α_d^k]$ for its $k$-th moment. We prove the symmetry $m(d,k)=m(k,d)$. As an application, we compute $\mathop{\mathrm{Var}}[α_d]=2^{-d}(d+1)^{-1}-4^{-d}$ and derive a closed formula for the third moment. (ii) For $n=d+1,d+2,d+3$ we determine the probability that $\mathcal W_{n,d}\cap\mathbb S^{d-1}$ is a spherical simplex, a spherical analogue of the classical Sylvester problem. In the case $n=d+2$ we also determine the distribution of the number of vertices of $\mathcal W_{d+2,d}\cap\mathbb S^{d-1}$. (iii) Let $f_\ell(\mathcal W_{n,d})$ denote the number of $\ell$-dimensional faces of $\mathcal W_{n,d}$. We prove a distributional limit theorem for $f_\ell(\mathcal W_{n,d})$ in the regime $n=d+k$ and $\ell=d-q$, where $k,q\in\mathbb N$ are fixed and $d\to\infty$. The limit law is a weighted sum of independent chi squared variables, with weights given by explicit eigenvalues of a convolution operator on the sphere. A unifying ingredient is an explicit coupling producing i.i.d. uniform vectors $U_1,\ldots,U_n\in\mathbb S^{d-1}$ together with i.i.d. uniform vectors $V_1,\ldots,V_n\in\mathbb S^{n-d-1}$ whose associated oriented matroids are Gale dual.
