We will show that a statistical manifold $(M, g, \nabla)$ has a constant curvature if and only if it is a projectively flat conjugate symmetric manifold, that is, the affine connection $\nabla$ is projectively flat and the curvatures…

Given a non-degenerate $(0,2)$-tensor field $h$ on a smooth manifold $M$, we consider a natural generalized complex and a generalized product structure on the generalized tangent bundle $TM\oplus T^*M$ of $M$ and we show that they are…

Inspired by a recent work of Wang-Zhao, in this note we prove that for a fixed $n$-dimensional closed Riemannian manifold $(M^n, g)$, if an $\mathrm{RCD}(K, n)$ space $(X, \mathsf{d}, \mathfrak{m})$ is Gromov-Hausdorff close to $M^n$, then…

The purpose of this paper is to give a sufficient condition for (strong) stability of non-proper smooth functions (with respect to the Whitney $C^\infty$-topology). We show that a Morse function is stable if it is end-trivial at any point…

Given an $\widetilde n$-dimensional manifold $\widetilde M$ equipped with a $\widetilde G$-structure $\widetilde\pi:\widetilde P\rightarrow \widetilde M$, there is a naturally induced $G$-structure $\pi: P\rightarrow M$ on any submanifold…

Robust statistics traditionally focuses on outliers, or perturbations in total variation distance. However, a dataset could be corrupted in many other ways, such as systematic measurement errors and missing covariates. We generalize the…

Upon a consistent topological statistical theory the application of structural statistics requires a quantification of the proximity structure of model spaces. An important tool to study these structures are Pseudo-Riemannian metrices,…

We prove a structure theorem for stable functions on amenable groups, which extends the arithmetic regularity lemma for stable subsets of finite groups. Given a group $G$, a function $f\colon G\to [-1,1]$ is called stable if the binary…

Given a structure $\mathcal{M}$ and a stably embedded $\emptyset$-definable set $Q$, we prove tameness preservation results when enriching the induced structure on $Q$ by some further structure $\mathcal{Q}$. In particular, we show that if…

Let $M$ be a smooth, compact manifold and let $\mathcal{N}_{\mu}$ denote the set of Riemannian metrics on $M$ with smooth volume density $\mu$. For a given $g_0\in \mathcal{N}_{\mu}$, we show that if $\dim(M)\ge 5$, then there exists an…

In this paper, we investigate the geometry of the tangent bundle $TM$ of a statistical manifold $(M,g,\nabla)$ endowed with a two-parameter family of generalized Cheeger--Gromoll metrics $g_{p,q}$. We compute the associated the Levi--Civita…

Given a graph $G$ whose edges are perfectly reliable and whose nodes each operate independently with probability $p\in[0,1],$ the node reliability of $G$ is the probability that at least one node is operational and that the operational…

We give a proof of the Gromov compactness theorem using the language of stable curves (i.e. cusp-curve of Gromov, or stable maps of Kontsevich and Manin) in general setting: An almost complex structure on a target manifold is only…

Let G be a connected reductive group defined over a non-archimedean local field of characteristic 0. We assume G is quasi-split, adjoint and absolutly simple. Let g be the Lie algebra of G. We consider the space of the invariant…

Let $N$ be a normal subgroup of a group $G$. An $N$-module $Q$ is $G$-stable provided that $Q$ is equivalent to the twist $Q^g$ of $Q$ by $g$, for every $g\in G$. If the action of $N$ on $Q$ extends to an action of $G$ on $Q$, $Q$ is…

This paper proposes minimum distance inference for a structural parameter of interest, which is robust to the lack of identification of other structural nuisance parameters. Some choices of the weighting matrix lead to asymptotic…

Under some suitable assumptions Riemannian manifolds $(M, g, H)$ that admit a connection $\hat\nabla$ with torsion a 3-form $H$, which is both closed $d H=0$ and $\hat\nabla$-covariantly constant, are locally isometric to a product $N\times…

In this paper, we study the regularity of topological entropy, as a function on the space of Riemannian metrics endowed with the $C^0$ topology. We establish several instances of entropy robustness (persistence of entropy non-vanishing…

We consider actions of non-compact simple Lie groups preserving an analytic rigid geometric structure of algebraic type on a compact manifold. The structure is not assumed to be unimodular, so an invariant measure may not exist. Ergodic…

Grohe and Marx proved that if G does not contain H as a topological minor, then there exist constants g=O(|V(H)|^4), D and t depending only on H such that G is a clique sum of graphs that either contain at most t vertices of degree greater…
