Let $\psi$ be a permutation of a finite set $X$. We define $\lambda(\psi)$ to be the largest fraction of elements of $X$ lying on a single cycle of $\psi$. For a finite group $G$, we define $\lambda(G)$ to be the maximum among the values…

Information geometry provides a geometric approach to families of statistical models. The key geometric structures are the Fisher quadratic form and the Amari-Chentsov tensor. In statistics, the notion of sufficient statistic expresses the…

This short note revisit information metric, underlining that it is a pseudo metric on manifolds of observables (random variables), rather than as usual on probability laws. Geodesics are characterized in terms of their boundaries and…

A broad class of informationally complete symmetric measurements is introduced. It can be understood as a common generalization of symmetric, informationally complete POVMs and mutually unbiased bases. Additionally, it provides a natural…

The information in an individual finite object (like a binary string) is commonly measured by its Kolmogorov complexity. One can divide that information into two parts: the information accounting for the useful regularity present in the…

The power graph of a group is the graph whose vertex set is the set of nontrivial elements of group, two elements being adjacent if one is a power of the other. We introduce some way for find the automorphism groups of some graphs. As an…
