The Potential Gradient Paired with the Score, and a Fisher Information Bound on the Domain of the Langevin Free-Energy Pair
lemmaAnalysisProbabilitylem:langevin-fisher-bound-euclidean-2026aOn the domain of the Langevin free-energy pair, the pairing of the potential gradient with the score equals minus the mean Laplacian of the potential, that is minus the trace of the translation Hessian; consequently times the Fisher information is at most the squared norm of the pair's field plus times that trace.
In the setting of The Intrinsic Calculus on the Wasserstein Space: Standing Notation, with the space , its inner product and its norm ; finite Fisher information, the set , the score and the Fisher information are those of that definition, and integrable is as in Probability Measures on Euclidean Space and Random Vectors: Standing Notation §measures. Let be a confining potential on , with gradient map and Laplacian ; let be positive, with , as in The Langevin Free-Energy Pair of a Confining Potential on the Wasserstein Space and ; and let be the Langevin free-energy pair with potential and noise intensity , a penalty pair by The Langevin Free-Energy Pair is a Wasserstein-Coercive Penalty Pair: Growth Bounds, Continuity of the Translation Hessian, and the First Variation of the Penalty §pair, with translation Hessian at and the trace. The letter denotes the noise intensity; the swap map written in Couplings on Euclidean Space: Product Coupling, Swap, Finiteness of the Cost, Push-Forward Couplings, Modifying One Marginal, Quantisation, Gluing over a Finitely Supported Measure, and the Lipschitz Bound §swap is not used.
