Holomorphic field theories and higher algebra
Abstract Aimed at complex geometers and representation theorists, this survey explores higher dimensional analogs of the rich interplay between Riemann surfaces, Virasoro and Kac‐Moody Lie algebras, and conformal blocks. We introduce a panoply of examples from physics — field theories that are holomorphic in nature, such as holomorphic Chern‐Simons ...

A Feynman–Kac formula for stochastic Dirichlet problems [PDF]
A representation formula for solutions of stochastic partial differential equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions is proved. The scope of our setting is wide enough to cover the general situation when the backward characteristics that appear in the usual formulation are not even defined in the It\^o sense.

Abstract Critical transitions and tipping phenomena between two meta‐stable states in stochastic dynamical systems are a scientific issue. In this work, we expand the methodology of identifying the most probable transition pathway between two meta‐stable states with Onsager–Machlup action functional, to investigate the evolutionary transition dynamics ...

Partition Functions and Mass Action Constants of Plasmas of Light Elements at Higher Temperatures
ABSTRACT We first analyze the relations between the work of Planck and Klimontovich and show that Klimontovich's kinetic theory of non‐ideal plasmas confirms Planck's partition function for the hydrogen plasma. We discuss and check the Planck‐Brillouin‐Larkin (PBL) expressions for Hydrogen with PIMC calculations and derive new partition functions and ...

Stability of Feynman–Kac formulae with path-dependent potentials [PDF]
Several particle algorithms admit a Feynman-Kac representation such that the potential function may be expressed as a recursive function which depends on the complete state trajectory. An important example is the mixture Kalman filter, but other models and algorithms of practical interest fall in this category. We study the asymptotic stability of such

Rough PDEs for Local Stochastic Volatility Models
ABSTRACT In this work, we introduce a novel pricing methodology in general, possibly non‐Markovian local stochastic volatility (LSV) models. We observe that by conditioning the LSV dynamics on the Brownian motion that drives the volatility, one obtains a time‐inhomogeneous Markov process. Using tools from rough path theory, we describe how to precisely

We provide a mathematical study of the modified Diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) algorithm introduced in the companion article \cite{DMC}. DMC is a simulation technique that uses branching particle systems to represent expectations associated with Feynman-Kac

Mesh‐free Monte Carlo method for electrostatic problems with floating potentials
Abstract Numerical simulation plays a crucial role in the analysis and design of power equipment, such as lightning protection devices, which may become inefficient using traditional grid‐based methods when handling complex geometries of large problems.

Quadratic BSDEs with Singular Generators and Unbounded Terminal Conditions: Theory and Applications
We investigate a class of quadratic backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) with generators that are singular in y. First, we establish the existence of solutions and a comparison theorem, thereby extending the existing results in the ...
