  1. Hit-and-Run is a coordinate-free Gibbs sampler, yet the quantitative advantages of its coordinate-free property remain largely unexplored beyond empirical studies. In this paper, we prove sharp estimates for the Wasserstein contraction of Hit-and-Run in Gaussian target measures via coupling methods and conclude mixing time bounds. Our results uncover accelerated convergence rates in certain settings. Furthermore, we extend these insights to a coordinate-free variant of the randomized Kaczmarz algorithm, an iterative method for linear systems, and demonstrate analogous convergence rates. These findings offer new insights into the advantages and limitations of coordinate-free methods for both sampling and optimization.

  2. We derive non-asymptotic quantitative bounds for convergence to equilibrium of the exact preconditioned Hamiltonian Monte Carlo algorithm (pHMC) on a Hilbert space. As a consequence, explicit and dimension-free bounds for pHMC applied to high-dimensional distributions arising in transition path sampling and path integral molecular dynamics are given. Global convexity of the underlying potential energies is not required. Our results are based on a two-scale coupling which is contractive in a carefully designed distance.
