We show that the nonlocal Fisher information - defined as the entropy dissipation of the Boltzmann entropy for nonlocal heat equations - admits a natural lifting in the sense of Guillen and Silvestre (2025). Important examples include the…

A stochastic nonlinear dynamical system generates information, as measured by its entropy rate. Some---the ephemeral information---is dissipated and some---the bound information---is actively stored and so affects future behavior. We derive…

We develop a general method to study the Fisher information distance in central limit theorem for nonlinear statistics. We first construct completely new representations for the score function. We then use these representations to derive…

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…
