arXiv:2606. 02948v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Curvature adaptivity is a classical theme in online optimization: for convex Lipschitz losses, adaptive methods interpolate between the optimal $O(\sqrt{T})$ regret for general convex losses and $O(\log T)$ regret under strong convexity.

The paper introduces a new convergence framework for solving distributionally robust optimization problems formulated as nonconvex, nonconcave minimax problems over a Euclidean space and a Riemannian manifold. It defines a "basin saddle point"—a locally defined Nash equilibrium—and proves that a Riemannian gradient ascent–descent algorithm converges to such points under a local Łojasiewicz growth condition. The authors apply this theory to a statistical risk DRO problem over Gaussian measures, deriving explicit convergence rates and constants in terms of data dimension, loss moments, and reference covariance.
