Rotation sets for random compositions of $\T$ homeomorphisms
We study cocycles of homeomorphisms of $\T$ in the isotopy class of the identity over shift spaces, using as a tool a novel definition of rotation sets inspired in the classical work of Miziurewicz and Zieman. We discuss different notions of rotation sets, for the full cocyle as well as for measures invariant by the shift dynamics on the base. We present some initial results on the shape of rotation sets, continuity of rotation sets for shift-invariant measures, and bounded displacements for ir…

Advancing End-to-End Pixel Space Generative Modeling via Self-supervised Pre-training
Pixel-space generative models are often more difficult to train and generally underperform compared to their latent-space counterparts, leaving a persistent performance and efficiency gap. In this paper, we introduce a novel two-stage training framework that closes this gap for pixel-space diffusion and consistency models. In the first stage, we pre-train encoders to capture meaningful semantics from clean images while aligning them with points along the same deterministic sampling trajectory, …

On goodness-of-fit testing for volatility in McKean-Vlasov models
This paper develops a statistical framework for goodness-of-fit testing of volatility functions in McKean-Vlasov stochastic differential equations, which describe large systems of interacting particles with distribution-dependent dynamics. While integrated volatility estimation in classical SDEs is now well established, formal model validation and goodness-of-fit testing for McKean-Vlasov systems remain largely unexplored, particularly in regimes with both large particle limits and high-frequen…
