arXiv:2605.14151v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce a stochastic global optimization method based on random walks on Grassmannian manifolds. To minimize a continuous objective $\ell:\mathbb{R}^d\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$, the method repeatedly samples random $k$-dimensional linear subspaces (with $k\ll d$), solves the resulting low-dimensional restrictions of these problems to these subspaces using an arbitrary black-box optimizer, and updates the iterate (which monotonically improves upon the previous iterate). Unlike classical optimization analyses that rely on convexity, smoothness,
