Transformer attention is commonly viewed as an interacting particle system, yet the mean-field limit on probability densities over $\mathbb{R}^d$ lacks rigorous geometric foundations on non-compact domains. This paper derives accelerated attention blocks from Nesterov-type damped Hamiltonian dynamics on spaces of probability measures, introducing a local-mobility geometry for softmax attention and a quotient Stein geometry for linear attention. The theory yields sharp PDE well-posedness and finite-time blow-up results, plus quantitative links to token-norm growth across discrete layers. Small-scale language-modeling experiments report minor validation-loss improvements at increased computational cost.
Vector Diffusion Maps (VDM) capture pairwise connection relationships in complex datasets via the Graph Connection Laplacian, but eigenvalue decomposition costs $O(n^{2.81})$, prohibiting large-scale applications. This paper proposes LA-VDM (Landmark Accelerated VDM), which constrains diffusion through landmark points and introduces a novel two-stage normalization scheme with parameters $\alpha$ and $\beta$ to handle non-uniform sampling densities in both data and landmarks. Under a manifold model with the frame bundle structure, the authors prove that LA-VDM asymptotically converges to the connection Laplacian while reducing complexity to $O(nm^2)$, enabling applications to datasets with millions of points.
