We study the ergodic behaviour of the McKean-Vlasov equations driven by common, divergence-free transport noise. In particular, we show that in dimension $d\geq 2$, if the noise is mixing and sufficiently strong it can enforce the uniqueness of invariant probability measures, even…
Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) are a class of deep learning models aiming to approximate solutions of PDEs by training neural networks to minimize the residual of the equation. Focusing on non-equilibrium fluctuating systems, we propose a physically informed choice of penalization that…
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…
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…
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…
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 (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,…
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…
Published · Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, (2026). We study asymptotic expansions of the Euclidean $Φ^4_2$-measure in the low-temperature regime. In particular, this extends the asymptotic expansions of Gaussian function space integrals developed in Schilder (1966) and Ellis and Rosen…
Published · SIAM journal on control and optimization, 62 (2024) 6, pp. 3288-3314. We give quantitative estimates for the rate of convergence of Riemannian stochastic gradient descent (RSGD) to Riemannian gradient flow and to a diffusion process, the so-called Riemannian stochastic modified flow (RSMF). Using…
Published · Journal of evolution equations, 24 (2024) 4, p. 94. We establish a framework for the existence and uniqueness of solutions to stochastic nonlinear (possibly multi-valued) diffusion equations driven by multiplicative noise, with the drift operator $L$ being the generator of a…
A broad class of possibly non-unique generalized kinetic solutions to hyperbolic-parabolic PDEs is introduced. Optimal regularity estimates in time and space for such solutions to nonlocal, and spatially inhomogeneous variants of the porous medium equation are shown in the scale of Sobolev…
