arXiv:2606. 24157v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The space $\mathcal{P}_2(\mathbb{R}^d$) of probability measures with finite second moment carries a natural geometry: the quadratic Wasserstein distance W_2 makes it a complete metric space and, following Otto, a (formal) Riemannian manifold whose geodesics are the optimal-transport interpolations.

arXiv:2608. 01692v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose an instantiation of flow matching that relies on a time-independent velocity field (an \emph{autonomous flow}) to exactly map between two distributions, so long as the target is singular, i.

arXiv:2606. 16610v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion Flow Matching (DFM) has recently emerged as a versatile framework for generative modeling, yet its theoretical convergence properties remain only partially understood.

We introduce Potential Matching Optimal Transport (PMOT), a potential-flow framework for general $p$-cost optimal transport with $c_p(x,y)=\|x-y\|^p$. PMOT parameterizes the CNF velocity field with a scalar potential in the generalized Benamou--Brenier form for the chosen exponent $p$.
