Let $G$ be a semisimple Lie group, ${\frak g}$ its Lie algebra. For any symmetric space $M$ over $G$ we construct a new (deformed) multiplication in the space $A$ of smooth functions on $M$. This multiplication is invariant under the action…

We propose a new metric between probability measures on a compact metric space that mirrors the Riemannian manifold-like structure of quadratic optimal transport but includes entropic regularization. Its metric tensor is given by the…

An intrinsic metric tensor, a flat connexion and the corresponding distance-like function are constructed in the configuration space formed by velocity field {\bf and} the thermodynamic variables of an inviscid fluid. The kinetic-energy…

The purpose of this paper is twofold. On a technical side, we propose an extension of the Hausdorff distance from metric spaces to spaces equipped with asymmetric distance measures. Specifically, we focus on the family of Bregman…

We introduce the notion of geometric pseudo-quantisation based on geometric quantisation with a weakened curvature condition. We show how such a structure arises naturally from simple deformations of the symplectic structure and pullbacks…

In models of emergent gravity the metric arises as the expectation value of some collective field. Usually, many different collective fields with appropriate tensor properties are candidates for a metric. Which collective field describes…

We show how the theory of $\mathbb{Z}_2^n$ -manifolds - which are a non-trivial generalisation of supermanifolds - may be useful in a geometrical approach to mixed symmetry tensors such as the dual graviton. The geometric aspects of such…

We address several problems concerning the geometry of the space of Hermitian operators on a finite-dimensional Hilbert space, in particular the geometry of the space of density states and canonical group actions on it. For quantum…

We present here a product between vectors and scalars that mixes them within their own space, using imaginaries to describe geometric products between vectors as complex vectors, rather than introducing higher order/dimensional vector…

N-particle quantum mechanics described by a sigma model with an N-dimensional target space with torsion is considered. It is shown that an SL(2,R) conformal symmetry exists if and only if the geometry admits a homothetic Killing vector…

The search for a potential function $S$ allowing to reconstruct a given metric tensor $g$ and a given symmetric covariant tensor $T$ on a manifold $\mathcal{M}$ is formulated as the Hamilton-Jacobi problem associated with a canonically…

Linear connections satisfying the Einstein metricity condition are important in the study of generalized Riemannian manifolds $(M,G=g+F)$, where the symmetric part $g$ of $G$ is a non-degenerate $(0,2)$-tensor, and $F$ is the skew-symmetric…

In this paper we present some approaches to classification of almost complex structures and to construction of local or formal pseudoholomorphic mapping from one almost complex manifold to another. The corresponding criteria are given in…

Suppose $(X,\omega)$ is a compact K\"ahler manifold of dimension $n$, and $\theta$ is closed $(1,1)$-form representing a big cohomology class. We introduce a metric $d_1$ on the finite energy space $\mathcal{E}^1(X,\theta)$, making it a…

We formulate the Riemannian calculus of the probability set embedded with $L^2$-Wasserstein metric. This is an initial work of transport information geometry. Our investigation starts with the probability simplex (probability manifold)…

We study geometrical aspects of entanglement, with the Hilbert--Schmidt norm defining the metric on the set of density matrices. We focus first on the simplest case of two two-level systems and show that a ``relativistic'' formulation leads…

Generalized tensor analysis in the sense of Colombeau's construction is employed to introduce a nonlinear distributional pseudo-Riemannian geometry. In particular, after deriving several characterizations of invertibility in the algebra of…
