We analyze a gradient flow of closed planar curves minimizing the anisoperimetric ratio. For such a flow the normal velocity is a function of the anisotropic curvature and it also depends on the total interfacial energy and enclosed area of the curve. In contrast to the gradient flow for the isoperimetric ratio, we sho…
We discuss some aspects about the computation of kinematic, spectroscopic, Fermi and astrometric relative velocities that are geometrically defined in general relativity. Mainly, we state that kinematic and spectroscopic relative velocities only depend on the 4-velocities of the observer and the test particle, unlike F…
In this note we first set up an analogy between spin and vorticity of a perfect 2d-fluid flow, based on the Borel-Weil contruction of the irreducible unitary representations of SU(2), and looking at the Madelung-Bohm velocity attached to the ensuing spin wave functions. We also show that, in the framework of finite dim…
This work addresses unstable MeanFlow training by optimizing a coefficient in the loss function.
problem Unstable training of MeanFlow models with non-decreasing loss and unbounded gradient variance.
method Established a theory attributing the instability to misuse of the conditional velocity field, derived the optimal coefficient, and showed practical realizations.
result Optimal coefficient yields up to 54% improvement in sample quality and monotone FID trend.
We prove that, in a space-time of dimension n>3 with a velocity field that is shear-free, vorticity-free and acceleration-free, the covariant divergence of the Weyl tensor is zero if the contraction of the Weyl tensor with the velocity is zero. The other way, if the covariant divergence of the Weyl tensor is zero, then…
The determinants of the velocity of money have been examined based on life-cycle hypothesis. The velocity of money can be expressed by reciprocal of the average value of holding time which is defined as interval between participating exchanges for one unit of money. This expression indicates that the velocity is govern…

Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) is a popular Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm that generates proposals for a Metropolis-Hastings algorithm by simulating the dynamics of a Hamiltonian system. However, HMC is sensitive to large time discretizations and performs poorly if there is a mismatch between the spatial geo…
An (r,n)-velocity is an r-jet with source at 0∈Rn, and target in a manifold Y. An (r,n)-velocity is said to be regular, if it has a representative which is an immersion at 0∈Rn. The manifold TnrY of (r,n)-velocities as well as its open, Lnr-invariant, dense submanifold $\Imm …
Time dilation 1−v21 and relative velocity v are observationally indistinguishable in the special theory of relativity, a duality that carries over into the general theory under Fermi coordinates along a curve (in coordinate-independent language, in the tangent Minkowski space along the curve). For …
REGS samples from unnormalized distributions using gradient flow and neural networks.
problem Sampling from unnormalized distributions with high accuracy and efficiency.
method REGS is a particle method that iteratively transforms samples from a reference distribution to match an unnormalized target distribution using Wasserstein gradient flow and neural networks.
result REGS outperforms state-of-the-art methods in sampling from challenging multimodal distributions and real datasets.
We obtain expressions for the shear and the vorticity tensors of perfect-fluid spacetimes, in terms of the divergence of the Weyl tensor. For such spacetimes, we prove that if the gradient of the energy density is parallel to the velocity, then either the expansion rate is zero, or the vorticity vanishes. This statemen…
The paper develops a new class of financial market models. These models are based on generalized telegraph processes: Markov random flows with alternating velocities and jumps occurring when the velocities are switching. While such markets may admit an arbitrage opportunity, the model under consideration is arbitrage-f…
