Conformal invariance of random currents: a stability result

Hong-Bin Chen, Jiaming Xia

We show the convergence of the single sourceless critical random current to a limit identifiable with the nested CLE(3). Our approach is based on viewing the random current as a pe…

Self-overlap correction simplifies the Parisi formula for vector spins

Hong-Bin Chen

We propose a simpler approach to identifying the limit of free energy in a vector spin glass model by adding a self-overlap correction to the Hamiltonian. This avoids constraining…

A PDE perspective on the Aizenman-Sims-Starr scheme

Hong-Bin Chen

The limit free energy of an enriched mixed -spin spin glass model has been identified with the solution of a Hamilton-Jacobi equation. In this note, we remark that the Aizenman-…

Hamilton-Jacobi equations with monotone nonlinearities on convex cones

Hong-Bin Chen, Jiaming Xia

We study the Cauchy problem of a Hamilton-Jacobi equation with the spatial variable in a closed convex cone. A monotonicity assumption on the nonlinearity allows us to prescribe no…

Rare transitions in noisy heteroclinic networks

Yuri Bakhtin, Hong-Bin Chen, Zsolt Pajor-Gyulai

We study small white noise perturbations of planar dynamical systems with heteroclinic networks in the limit of vanishing noise. We show that the probabilities of transitions betwe…

Hamilton-Jacobi equations from mean-field spin glasses

Hong-Bin Chen, Jiaming Xia

We give a meaning to the Hamilton--Jacobi equation arising from mean-field spin glass models in the viscosity sense, and establish the corresponding well-posedness. Originally defi…

Free energy of multi-layer generalized linear models

Hong-Bin Chen, Jiaming Xia

We compute the high-dimensional limit of the free energy associated with a multi-layer generalized linear model. Under certain technical assumptions, we identify the limit in terms…

Statistical inference of finite-rank tensors

Hong-Bin Chen, Jean-Christophe Mourrat, Jiaming Xia

We consider a general statistical inference model of finite-rank tensor products. For any interaction structure and any order of tensor products, we identify the limit free energy…

Dimension-free log-Sobolev inequalities for mixture distributions

Hong-Bin Chen, Sinho Chewi, Jonathan Niles-Weed

We prove that if is a family of probability measures which satisfy the log-Sobolev inequality and whose pairwise chi-squared divergences are uniformly b…

Dynamic polymers: invariant measures and ordering by noise

Yuri Bakhtin, Hong-Bin Chen

We develop a dynamical approach to infinite volume directed polymer measures in random environments. We define polymer dynamics in 1+1 dimension as a stochastic gradient flow on po…

Fenchel-Moreau identities on convex cones

Hong-Bin Chen, Jiaming Xia

A pointed convex cone naturally induces a partial order, and further a notion of nondecreasingness for functions. We consider extended real-valued functions defined on the cone. Mo…

Hamilton-Jacobi equations for inference of matrix tensor products

Hong-Bin Chen, Jiaming Xia

We study the high-dimensional limit of the free energy associated with the inference problem of finite-rank matrix tensor products. In general, we bound the limit from above by the…

Hamilton-Jacobi equations for nonsymmetric matrix inference

Hong-Bin Chen

We study the high-dimensional limit of the free energy associated with the inference problem of a rank-one nonsymmetric matrix. The matrix is expressed as the outer product of two…

Asymptotics of smoothed Wasserstein distances

Hong-Bin Chen, Jonathan Niles-Weed

We investigate contraction of the Wasserstein distances on under Gaussian smoothing. It is well known that the heat semigroup is exponentially contractive with respe…

Atypical exit events near a repelling equilibrium

Yuri Bakhtin, Hong-Bin Chen

We consider exit problems for small white noise perturbations of a dynamical system generated by a vector field, and a domain containing a critical point with all positive eigenval…

Long exit times near a repelling equilibrium

Yuri Bakhtin, Hong-Bin Chen

For a smooth vector field in a neighborhood of a critical point with all positive eigenvalues of the linearization, we consider the associated dynamics perturbed by white noise. Us…
