Large deviations principles for symplectic discretizations of stochastic linear Schrödinger Equation

This paper establishes that symplectic discretizations, including spectral Galerkin spatial semi-discretization and temporal full discretization, weakly asymptotically preserve the large deviations principle of the stochastic linear Schrödinger equation, thereby providing an effective numerical approach for approximating the LDP rate function in infinite-dimensional spaces.

Convergence analysis for minimum action methods coupled with a finite difference method

This paper presents a convergence analysis for minimum action methods coupled with finite difference schemes, establishing that the convergence orders of the discrete Freidlin-Wentzell action functional are 1/21/2 for multiplicative noise and $1$ for additive noise, while also demonstrating the convergence of the stochastic θ\theta-method for small-noise stochastic differential equations in the context of large deviations.

Density convergence of a fully discrete finite difference method for stochastic Cahn--Hilliard equation

This paper establishes the L1(R)L^1(\mathbb{R}) convergence of the probability density for a fully discrete finite difference method solving the stochastic Cahn--Hilliard equation with multiplicative space-time white noise by introducing a novel localization argument to overcome the non-Lipschitz drift and partially resolving an open problem regarding the numerical computation of the solution's density.

Asymptotics of large deviations of finite difference method for stochastic Cahn--Hilliard equation

This paper establishes the Freidlin--Wentzell large deviations principle for the stochastic Cahn--Hilliard equation with small noise and proves the convergence of the one-point large deviations rate function for its spatial finite difference method by utilizing Γ\Gamma-convergence of objective functions and overcoming non-Lipschitz drift challenges through discrete interpolation inequalities.

On canonical bundle formula for fibrations of curves with arithmetic genus one

This paper establishes canonical bundle formulas for fibrations of curves with arithmetic genus one in characteristic p>0p>0, distinguishing between separable and inseparable cases, and applies these results to prove that a klt pair with a nef anti-log canonical divisor and a relative dimension one Albanese morphism is a fiber space over its Albanese variety.

Learning Risk Preferences in Markov Decision Processes: an Application to the Fourth Down Decision in the National Football League

This paper employs an inverse optimization framework on NFL play-by-play data to demonstrate that coaches' historically conservative fourth-down decisions are consistent with optimizing low quantiles of future value, revealing that their risk preferences have become more tolerant over time and vary based on field position.

Invariants of surfaces in smooth 4-manifolds from link homology

This paper constructs analogs of Khovanov-Jacobsson classes and the Rasmussen invariant for links in the boundary of smooth oriented 4-manifolds by utilizing skein lasagna modules derived from equivariant and deformed glN\mathfrak{gl}_N link homology, while establishing non-vanishing results, decomposition theorems, and conditions for extending functoriality to immersed cobordisms.

Gersten-type conjecture for henselian local rings of normal crossing varieties

This paper proves a Gersten-type conjecture for étale sheaves, including étale logarithmic Hodge-Witt sheaves and ll-adic Tate twists, over henselian local rings of normal crossing varieties in positive characteristic, and applies this result to establish a relative version of the conjecture for pp-adic étale Tate twists over semistable families in mixed characteristic as well as a generalization of Artin's theorem on Brauer groups.
