Publications

The catalogue keeps one record per scientific work. A preprint record is updated with journal information rather than duplicated when a journal version appears.

Display scientific works by current members that first became publicly available while the author was a member of SAiS.

  • Matching Large Deviation Bounds of the Zero-Range Process in the whole space

    We consider the large deviations of the hydrodynamic rescaling of the zero-range process on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ in any dimension $d\ge 1$. Under mild and canonical hypotheses on the local jump rate, we obtain matching upper and lower bounds, thus resolving the problem opened…

  • Functional Neural Wavefunction Optimization

    We propose a framework for the design and analysis of optimization algorithms in variational quantum Monte Carlo, drawing on geometric insights into the corresponding function space. The framework translates infinite-dimensional optimization dynamics into tractable parameter-space algorithms through a Galerkin projection onto the…

  • A Dynamical Systems Perspective on the Analysis of Neural Networks

    In this chapter, we utilize dynamical systems to analyze several aspects of machine learning algorithms. As an expository contribution we demonstrate how to re-formulate a wide variety of challenges from deep neural networks, (stochastic) gradient descent, and related topics into dynamical statements.…

  • Random dynamical systems for McKean–Vlasov SDEs via rough path theory

    The existence of random dynamical systems for McKean–Vlasov SDEs is established. This is approached by considering the joint dynamics of the corresponding nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation governing the law of the system and the underlying stochastic differential equation (SDE) as a dynamical system…

  • Central Path Proximal Policy Optimization

    Published · Exploration in AI Today Workshop at ICML 2025. In constrained Markov decision processes, enforcing constraints during training is often thought of as decreasing the final return. Recently, it was shown that constraints can be incorporated directly into the policy geometry,…

  • Non-Asymptotic Analysis of Projected Gradient Descent for Physics-Informed Neural Networks

    Published · Scientific Machine Learning: Emerging Topics, SEMA SIMAI Springer Series (2026). In this work, we provide a non-asymptotic convergence analysis of projected gradient descent for physics-informed neural networks for the Poisson equation. Under suitable assumptions, we show that the optimization error can be…

  • Fluctuation behaviour for interacting particle systems with common noise

    Published · Stochastics and Partial Differential Equations: Analysis and Computations (2026). We consider the asymptotic behaviour of the fluctuation process for large stochastic systems of interacting particles driven by both idiosyncratic and common noise with an interaction kernel \(k \in L^2(\R^d) \cap L^\infty(\R^d)\). Our analysis relies on uniform relative entropy estimates and Kolmogorov’s…

  • Existence of martingale solutions to a stochastic kinetic model of chemotaxis

    Published · Nonlinear differential equations and applications, 33 (2026) 2, p. 52. We show the existence of local and global in time weak martingale solutions for a stochastic version of the Othmer-Dunbar-Alt kinetic model of chemotaxis under suitable assumptions on the turning kernel and…

  • Conservative stochastic PDEs on the whole space

    Published · Stochastics and partial differential equations : analysis and computations, 14 (2026) 1, pp. 350-388. The purpose of this paper is to establish a well-posedness theory for conservative stochastic partial differential equations on the whole space. This class of stochastic PDEs arises in fluctuating hydrodynamics, and includes…

  • A quantitative central limit theorem for the simple symmetric exclusion process

    A quantitative central limit theorem for the simple symmetric exclusion process (SSEP) on a $d$-dimensional discrete torus is proven. The argument is based on a comparison of the generators of the density fluctuation field of the SSEP and the generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process,…

  • Characterizing Dynamical Stability of Stochastic Gradient Descent in Overparameterized Learning

    For overparameterized optimization tasks, such as those found in modern machine learning, global minima are generally not unique. In order to understand generalization in these settings, it is vital to study to which minimum an optimization algorithm converges. The possibility of having…

  • Higher Order Fluctuation Expansions for Nonlinear Stochastic Heat Equations in Singular Limits

    Published · Stochastic processes and their applications, 193 (2026), p. 104847. Higher order fluctuation expansions for stochastic heat equations (SHE) with nonlinear, non-conservative and conservative noise are obtained. These Edgeworth-type expansions describe the asymptotic behavior of solutions in suitable joint scaling regimes of…
