Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a complex simple Lie algebra and let $\mathfrak{g}_0$ be the sub-algebra fixed by a diagram automorphism of $\mathfrak{g}$. Let $G$ be the complex, simply-connected, simple algebraic group with Lie algebra…
We define the notion of complex stratification by quasifolds and show that such spaces occur as complex quotients by certain nonclosed subgroups of tori associated to convex polytopes. The spaces thus obtained provide a natural…
Matrix-form Poisson probability distributions were recently introduced as one matrix generalization of Panjer distributions. We show in this paper that under the constraint that their representation is to be nonnegative, they have a…
We obtain restrictions on the rational homotopy types of mapping spaces and of classifying spaces of homotopy automorphisms by means of the theory of positive weight decompositions. The theory applies, in particular, to connected components…
A composite likelihood is an inference function derived by multiplying a set of likelihood components. This approach provides a flexible framework for drawing inference when the likelihood function of a statistical model is computationally…

A new method of analysing positive bistochastic maps on the algebra of complex matrices $M_{3}$ has been proposed. By identifying the set of such maps with a convex set of linear operators on $\mathbb{R}^{8}$, one can employ techniques from…
Images encode both the state of the world and its content. The former is useful for tasks such as planning and control, and the latter for classification. The automatic extraction of this information is challenging because of the…
Given an unnormalized probability density $\pi\propto\mathrm{e}^{-V}$, estimating its normalizing constant $Z=\int_{\mathbb{R}^d}\mathrm{e}^{-V(x)}\mathrm{d}x$ or free energy $F=-\log Z$ is a crucial problem in Bayesian statistics,…
A Monte Carlo algorithm is said to be adaptive if it automatically calibrates its current proposal distribution using past simulations. The choice of the parametric family that defines the set of proposal distributions is critical for good…
In this review, we address the use of Monte Carlo methods for approximating definite integrals of the form $Z = \int L(x) d P(x)$, where $L$ is a target function (often a likelihood) and $P$ a finite measure. We present vertical-likelihood…
A simple condition is given that is sufficient to determine whether a measure that is absolutely continuous with respect to a Gau{\ss}ian measure on the space of distributions is reflection positive. It readily generalises conventional…
The special linear representation of a compact Lie group G is a kind of linear representation of compact Lie group G with special properties. It is possible to define the integral of linear representation and extend this concept to special…
We characterise the existence of balanced and pluriclosed metrics on compact quotients of real semisimple Lie groups equipped with regular complex structures, in terms of Vogan diagrams. Consequently, such complex manifolds cannot…
A finite-dimensional linear representation of a group or an algebra may be regarded as a map into a space of matrices, endowing abstract elements with coordinates, and encoding algebraic operations as matrix products. With this in mind, we…
This paper introduces the notion of calibrated representations for affine Hecke algebras and classifies and constructs all finite dimensional irreducible calibrated representations. The main results are that (1) irreducible calibrated…
