We introduce and solve a new type of quadratic backward stochastic differential equation systems defined in an infinite time horizon, called \emph{ergodic BSDE systems}. Such systems arise naturally as candidate solutions to characterize forward performance processes and their associated optimal trading strategies in a…

A new method simulates a lazy version of a Markov chain for empirical inference.
Study counts ergodic measures in surface lamination strata.
We introduce a new unsupervised learning problem: clustering wide-sense stationary ergodic stochastic processes. A covariance-based dissimilarity measure together with asymptotically consistent algorithms is designed for clustering offline and online datasets, respectively. We also suggest a formal criterion on the eff…
New progress on frame flow ergodicity for nearly pinched manifolds.
Recent results on ergodic theory for Riemann surface laminations and foliations.
Formula connects foliated simplicial volume with group cost.
In this note we show that the Riemann moduli spaces equipped with the Weil--Petersson metric are quantum ergodic for . We also provide other examples of singular spaces with ergodic geodesic flow for which quantum ergodicity holds.
We extend to orbifolds classical results on quantum ergodicity due to Shnirelman, Colin de Verdière and Zelditch, proving that, for any positive, first-order self-adjoint elliptic pseudodifferential operator P on a compact orbifold X with positive principal symbol p, ergodicity of the Hamiltonian flow of p implies quan…

The paper studies the ergodicity of frame flow on even-dimensional manifolds.
Non-ergodic measures found in horocycle flow on Abelian differentials.
Log-ergodic model improves velocity of money prediction.
The paper tackles learning to control systems with unknown parameters using Brownian noise.
'Ergodicity economics' is criticized as pseudoscience.
We construct an example of a uniquely ergodic measured foliation on a surface such that the associated translation flow on the orientation double cover is minimal but not uniquely ergodic. We then prove a geometric criterion for the horizontal foliation of a quadratic differential to be uniquely ergodic. The second the…
New method stabilizes quantum ergodicity for mixed quantization and partial hyperbolicity.
We introduce a simple analysis of the structural complexity of infinite-memory processes built from random samples of stationary, ergodic finite-memory component processes. Such processes are familiar from the well known multi-arm Bandit problem. We contrast our analysis with computation-theoretic and statistical infer…
The study shows that ergodic measures are not generic on non-positively curved manifolds.
We show that Masur's logarithmic law of geodesics in the moduli space of translation surfaces does not imply unique ergodicity of the translation flow, but that a similar law involving the flat systole of a Teichmüller geodesic does imply unique ergodicity. It shows that the flat geometry has a better control on ergodi…
Study connects spectral properties to frame flows on curved manifolds.
We relate ergodic-theoretic properties of a very small tree or lamination to the behavior of folding and unfolding paths in Outer space that approximate it, and we obtain a criterion for unique ergodicity in both cases. Our main result is that non-unique ergodicity gives rise to a transverse decomposition of the foldin…
The paper studies ergodicity of flows on subspaces, generalizing earlier work.
New MCMC methods map high-dimensional problems to spheres for better mixing.
We analyze the generalization and robustness of the batched weighted average algorithm for V-geometrically ergodic Markov data. This algorithm is a good alternative to the empirical risk minimization algorithm when the latter suffers from overfitting or when optimizing the empirical risk is hard. For the generalization…

Study uniform learnability of binary classification networks with communication.
The paper establishes CLTs for Markov chains and improves sampling algorithms for heavy-tailed distributions.
A smooth diffeomorphism is said to be distributionally uniquely ergodic (DUE for short) when it is uniquely ergodic and its unique invariant probability measure is the only invariant distribution (up to multiplication by a constant). Ergodic translations on tori are classical examples of DUE diffeomorphisms. In this ar…
A measured solenoid is a laminated space endowed with a tranversal measure invariant by holonomy, as defined in arXiv:0910.2836. A measured solenoid immersed in a smooth manifold produces a closed current (known as generalized Ruelle-Sullivan current). Uniquely ergodic solenoids are those for which there is a unique (u…
We generalize stochastic subgradient descent methods to situations in which we do not receive independent samples from the distribution over which we optimize, but instead receive samples that are coupled over time. We show that as long as the source of randomness is suitably ergodic---it converges quickly enough to a …
The paper connects function theory, dynamics, and ergodic theory via Thurston's theory.
The paper introduces a new method to create stable ergodic actions on higher-dimensional manifolds.
This work investigates a mixture of LMC and RMHMC with MMALA for geometric ergodicity.
Study shows non-wandering, partially hyperbolic systems are ergodic.
We introduce the concept of solenoid as an abstract laminated space. We do a thorough study of solenoids, leading to the notion of ergodic and uniquely ergodic solenoids. We define generalized currents associated with immersions of oriented solenoids with a transversal measure into smooth manifolds, generalizing Ruelle…
Study shows mapping class group action is ergodic on specific representations.
Study equilibrium measures on manifolds without conjugate points with visibility covering.
We study how resetting affects geometric Brownian motion, showing it becomes stationary but remains non-ergodic.
The paper provides a link between ergodic theory and symplectic topology. A classical notion of ergodic theory is a skew product map associated with a loop in a group of transformations. We study skew products which come from loops in the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a symplectic manifold. Our main question …
The paper solves investment problems with uncertain factors using game theory.
We review some developments on clustering stochastic processes and come with the conclusion that asymptotically consistent clustering algorithms can be obtained when the processes are ergodic and the dissimilarity measure satisfies the triangle inequality. Examples are provided when the processes are distribution ergod…
We study the ergodic properties of compositions of interval exchange transformations and rotations. We show that for any interval exchange transformation T, there is a full measure set of αin [0, 1) so that T composed with R_α is uniquely ergodic, where R_α is rotation by α.
This paper analyzes the convergence of dynamic HMC and NUTS methods.
SGLD proves geometric ergodicity via reflection coupling for nonconvex log-concave distributions.
Adaptive Monte Carlo schemes developed over the last years usually seek to ensure ergodicity of the sampling process in line with MCMC tradition. This poses constraints on what is possible in terms of adaptation. In the general case ergodicity can only be guaranteed if adaptation is diminished at a certain rate. Import…
In this technical note, we adapt an idea of Gabai to construct non-uniquely ergodic, non-geometric, arational trees.
We study a phenomenological model for the continuous double auction, equivalent to two independent queues. The continuous double auction defines a continuous-time random walk for trade prices. The conditions for ergodicity of the auction are derived and, as a consequence, three possible regimes in the behavior …
