We develop a family of infinite-dimensional Banach manifolds of measures on an abstract measurable space, employing charts that are "balanced" between the density and log-density functions. The manifolds, $(\tilde{M}_{\lambda},\lambda\in…

Let $\phi$ be a polynomial over $K$ (a field of characteristic 0) such that the Hessian of $\phi$ is a nonzero constant. Let $\bar\phi$ be the formal Legendre Transform of $\phi$. Then $\bar\phi$ is well-defined as a formal power series…

We propose to study the Hessian metric of a functional on the space of probability measures endowed with the Wasserstein $2$-metric. We name it transport Hessian metric, which contains and extends the classical Wasserstein-$2$ metric. We…

We prove that the (square root) Fisher information functional is a strong Wasserstein upper gradient of the entropy on non-convex Riemannian domains. This fills a gap in the literature by allowing one to completely dispense from…

Latent space geometry has shown itself to provide a rich and rigorous framework for interacting with the latent variables of deep generative models. The existing theory, however, relies on the decoder being a Gaussian distribution as its…
