The paper introduces the Distributionally Robust Schr"odinger Bridge (DRSB), a method that learns a single controller capable of handling uncertainty in the initial distribution for stochastic transport tasks. DRSB’s objective combines control energy with a KL penalty on the terminal distribution, and it seeks to minimize the worst‑case value of this objective over an ambiguity set around the nominal initial distribution. The authors derive a variational formulation, connect it to stochastic optimal control and distributionally robust optimization, and propose an alternating algorithm with Wasserstein and Sinkhorn variants. Experiments on two‑dimensional transport and image‑to‑image translation demonstrate improved robustness to input perturbations compared to standard SB, while also achieving lower mean sliced Wasserstein distance on Gaussian mixture transport.

The paper introduces a probabilistic generative framework called Schr"odinger Bridges on Lie Group Manifolds, enabling direct modeling of non‑Euclidean data without flattening or coordinate inconsistencies. It develops two computational realizations—Wrapped‑Kernel Bridge Calibration for compact Abelian groups and Reciprocal Conditional‑Control Bridge Matching for compact non‑Abelian groups—while providing a modular error bound that separates various sources of approximation error. Experiments on protein, RNA torsions, SO(3), U(n), and protein conformational pathways demonstrate the method’s feasibility and consistency.
The paper studies finite‑horizon minimum‑energy steering of inertial swarms under stochastic disturbances, focusing on mean‑field models with Cucker–Smale alignment or Morse attraction–repulsion interactions. It formulates the problem as a Schr"odinger bridge, deriving nonlinear, time‑symmetric optimality systems and proposing nested fixed‑point schemes for numerical solution. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the optimal corrective drift can either exploit or counteract the natural interaction forces, depending on their alignment with the steering objective.
