Abstract

We study here a heat-type differential equation of order n greater than two, in the case where the time-derivative is supposed to be fractional. The corresponding solution can be described as the transition function of a pseudoprocess (coinciding with the one governed by the standard, non-fractional, equation) with a time argument T which is itself random. The distribution of T is presented together with some features of the solution (such as analytic expressions for its moments).

Dark Subspaces and Invariant Measures of Quantum Trajectories

Quantum trajectories are Markov processes describing the evolution of a quantum system subject to indirect measurements. They can be viewed as place dependent iterated function systems or the result of products of dependent and non identically distributed random matrices. In this article, we establish a complete classification of their invariant measures. The classification is done in two steps. First, we prove a Markov process on some linear subspaces called dark subspaces, defined in (Maassen, Kümmerer 2006), admits a unique invariant measure. Second, we study the process inside the dark subspaces. Using a notion of minimal family of isometries from a reference space to dark subspaces, we prove a set of measures indexed by orbits of a unitary group is the set of ergodic measures of quantum trajectories.

Expected Signature Kernels for Rough Paths

The expected signature kernel is a similarity measure of probability laws on path space and enters directly into signature maximum mean discrepancies. Building on [P. K. Friz, P. P. Hager, and N. Tapia, Forum Math. Sigma, 10 (2022), e42] and [M. Lemercier, T. Lyons, and C. Salvi, SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 64 (2026), pp. 1095-1125], we characterize the expected signature kernel of group-valued inhomogeneous Lévy processes, aka Lévy rough paths, as the scalar component of the solution to an extended Goursat-type system. We give an original description, first in the continuous case where the finite-dimensional system is exact. In the presence of jumps, this system is inherently infinite-dimensional; we prove its well-posedness and derive finite-dimensional truncations with explicit error control. This permits direct evaluation of the reference-dependent terms in one-sample signature-MMD tests without an auxiliary reference sample. Finally, for conditionally Gaussian martingales, conditioning the usual unbiased empirical squared signature-MMD on the sampled quadratic variations yields an unbiased statistic for the same quantity with no larger variance. We derive computable finite-grid versions and illustrate the resulting variance reduction and gain in power.

A central limit theorem for the range of random walk indexed by an infinite tree

We are interested in the second-order fluctuations of the size of the range of a random walk indexed by an infinite tree in ${\mathbb Z}^d$. Consider the Kesten tree with geometric offspring, we view the vertices on the left of its spine (the unique infinite path) as the past, and those on the right as the future. We show that the number of new sites in the future given its past has linear variance when $d>8$, and satisfies a central limit theorem (CLT) with Gaussian limiting distribution when $d>16$. The proof relies on the stationarity of the model under depth-first exploration, a general CLT by Dedecker and Merlevède [7], a truncation technique exploiting the local independence of tree structures, and a recursion argument for moment bounds.
