The article "Foundations of Diffusion Models in General State Spaces: A Self-Contained Introduction" presents a unified primer on diffusion models that applies to both continuous Euclidean data and discrete categorical structures. It develops discrete-time forward noising via Markov kernels and learned reverse dynamics, and connects these to continuous-time limits such as stochastic differential equations in ρ^d and continuous-time Markov chains on finite alphabets, deriving the corresponding Fokker–Planck and master equations. The work also shows how different forward corruption choices—Gaussian processes for continuous spaces and structured categorical transition kernels for discrete spaces—affect reverse dynamics and the evidence lower bound used in training, offering a layered exposition for newcomers, practitioners, and experts alike.
arXiv:2602. 23006v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Simulating a Gaussian process requires sampling from a high-dimensional Gaussian distribution, which scales cubically with the number of sample locations.

arXiv:2602. 09708v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We propose physics-informed spectral diffusion (PISD), a methodology that combines generative latent diffusion models with physics-informed machine learning to generate solutions of partial differential equations (PDEs) conditioned on partial observations, which includes, in particular, forward and inverse PDE problems.
arXiv:2602. 17706v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Diffusion models learn data distributions indirectly through denoising, making the difficulty of generative modeling closely tied to the dependency structure of data.
