A Theory of Speciation in Generative Diffusion Models on Compact Riemannian Manifolds

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 24, 2026 · UTC

Speciation in generative diffusion models denotes the emergence of distinct stable branches during denoising, through which initially undifferentiated trajectories progressively commit to different data classes. In this work we develop an intrinsic theory of speciation for diffusion models supported on compact Riemannian manifolds: the aim is to go beyond existing theoretical descriptions, which usually identify speciation with a symmetric pitchfork bifurcation and assume to work in a large-dimensional space. We characterize speciation by bifurcations of the critical points of the evolving pro
