We present an improved analysis of the Euler-Maruyama discretization of the Langevin diffusion. Our analysis does not require global contractivity, and yields polynomial dependence on the time horizon. Compared to existing approaches, we make an additional smoothness assumption, and improve the existing rate from $O(eta)$ to $O(eta^2)$ in terms of the KL divergence. This result matches the correct order for numerical SDEs, without suffering from exponential time dependence. When applied to algorithms for sampling and learning, this result simultaneously improves all those methods based on Dalayans approach.

In this paper, we focus on non-asymptotic bounds related to the Euler scheme of an ergodic diffusion with a possibly multiplicative diffusion term (non-constant diffusion coefficient). More precisely, the objective of this paper is to control the dis tance of the standard Euler scheme with decreasing step (usually called Unajusted Langevin Algorithm in the Monte-Carlo literature) to the invariant distribution of such an ergodic diffusion. In an appropriate Lyapunov setting and under uniform ellipticity assumptions on the diffusion coefficient, we establish (or improve) such bounds for Total Variation and L 1-Wasserstein distances in both multiplicative and additive and frameworks. These bounds rely on weak error expansions using Stochastic Analysis adapted to decreasing step setting.

In this paper we give a central limit theorem for the weighted quadratic variations process of a two-parameter Brownian motion. As an application, we show that the discretized quadratic variations $sum_{i=1}^{[n s]} sum_{j=1}^{[n t]} | Delta_{i,j} Y |^2$ of a two-parameter diffusion $Y=(Y_{(s,t)})_{(s,t)in[0,1]^2}$ observed on a regular grid $G_n$ is an asymptotically normal estimator of the quadratic variation of $Y$ as $n$ goes to infinity.
We study the fluctuations in equilibrium of a class of Brownian motions interacting through a potential. For a certain choice of exponential potential, the distribution of the system coincides with differences of free energies of the stationary semi- discrete or OConnell-Yor polymer. We show that for Gaussian potentials, the fluctuations are of order $N^{frac{1}{4}}$ when the time and system size coincide, whereas for a class of more general convex potentials $V$ the fluctuations are of order at most $N^{frac{1}{3}}$. In the OConnell-Yor case, we recover the known upper bounds for the fluctuation exponents using a dynamical approach, without reference to the polymer partition function interpretation.
A number of discrete time, finite population size models in genetics describing the dynamics of allele frequencies are known to converge (subject to suitable scaling) to a diffusion process in the infinite population limit, termed the Wright-Fisher d iffusion. In this article we show that the diffusion is ergodic uniformly in the selection and mutation parameters, and that the measures induced by the solution to the stochastic differential equation are uniformly locally asymptotically normal. Subsequently these two results are used to analyse the statistical properties of the Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian estimators for the selection parameter, when both selection and mutation are acting on the population. In particular, it is shown that these estimators are uniformly over compact sets consistent, display uniform in the selection parameter asymptotic normality and convergence of moments over compact sets, and are asymptotically efficient for a suitable class of loss functions.
The main result in this paper is a variational formula for the exit rate from a bounded domain for a diffusion process in terms of the stationary law of the diffusion constrained to remain in this domain forever. Related results on the geometric ergo dicity of the controlled Q-process are also presented.
