Propagation of chaos, Wasserstein gradient flows and toric Kahler-Einstein metrics
Robert J. Berman ; Magnus Onnheim ;
Date 30 Jan 2015
AbstractMotivated by a probabilistic approach to Kahler-Einstein metrics we consider a general non-equlibrium statistical mechanics model in Euclidean space consisting of the stochastic gradient flow of a given quasi-convex N particle interaction energy. We show that a deterministic macroscopic evolution equation emerges in the large N-limit of many particles. The proof uses the theory of weak gradient flows on the Wasserstein space and in particular De Georgi’s notion of minimizing movements. Applied to the setting of permanental point processes at negative temperature the corresponding limiting evolution equation yields a new drift-diffusion equation, coupled to the Monge-Ampere operator, whose static solutions correspond to toric Kahler-Einstein metrics. This drift-diffusion equation is the gradient flow on the Wasserstein space of probability measures of the K-energy functional in Kahler geometry and it can be seen as a fully non-linear version of various extensively studied dissipative evolution equations and conservations laws, including the Keller-Segal equation and Burger’s equation. We also obtain a real probabilistic analog of the complex geometric Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture in this setting. In another direction applications to singular pair interactions in 1D are given. Complex geometric aspects of these results will be discussed elsewhere.
