Skew-symmetric densities recently received much attention in the literature, giving rise to increasingly general families of univariate and multivariate skewed densities. Most of those families, however, suffer from the inferential drawback…

We present an information-theoretic analysis of the Cosmic Web that goes beyond the scalar density contrast and exploits the full structure of the tidal deformation tensor. The three eigenvalues ($\lambda_1, \lambda_2, \lambda_3$) of the…

Information geometry is the application of differential geometry in statistics, where the Fisher-Rao metric serves as the Riemannian metric on the statistical manifold, providing an intrinsic property for parameter sensitivity. In this…

It is well known that the Fisher information induces a Riemannian geometry on parametric families of probability density functions. Following recent work, we consider the nonparametric generalization of the Fisher geometry. The resulting…

Pairwise Fisher graphs capture local covariance information, but they cannot distinguish an irreducible multi-observable radiation pattern from a collection of ordinary pairwise correlations. We show that this missing structure is naturally…

We obtain the topological expansion of the hermitian matrix model using its representation as a CFT on a hyperelliptic Riemann surface. To each branch point of the Riemann surface we associate an operator which represents a twist field…
