Here we consider the discrete time dynamics described by a transformation $T:M \to M$, where $T$ is the shift and $M=\{1,2,...,d\}^\mathbb{N}$. It is known that the infinite-dimensional manifold $\mathcal{N}$ of H\"older equilibrium…

In Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics and Information Theory, the relative entropy (or, KL divergence) plays a very important role. Consider a H\"older Jacobian $J$ and the Ruelle (transfer) operator $\mathcal{L}_{\log J}.$ Two equilibrium…

Continuous image morphing is a classical task in image processing. The metamorphosis model proposed by Trouv\'e, Younes and coworkers casts this problem in the frame of Riemannian geometry and geodesic paths between images. The associated…

We will denote by $\mathcal{M}$ the space of Borel probabilities on the symbolic space $\Omega=\{1,2...,m\}^\mathbb{N}$. $\mathcal{M}$ is equipped Monge-Kantorovich metric. We consider here the push-forward map $\mathfrak{T}:\mathcal{M} \to…

A possible model for quantum kinematics of a test particle in a curved space-time is proposed. Every reasonable neighbourhood V_e of a curved space-time can be equipped with a nonassociative binary operation called the geodesic…

We solve explicitly the geodesic equation for a wide class of (pseudo)-Riemannian homogeneous manifolds (G/H,m), including those with G compact, as well as non-compact semisimple Lie groups, under a simple algebraic condition for the metric…

We consider a system with a discrete configuration space. We show that the geometrical structures associated with such a system provide the tools necessary for a reconstruction of discrete quantum mechanics once dynamics is brought into the…

A statistical model M is a family of probability distributions, characterised by a set of continuous parameters known as the parameter space. This possesses natural geometrical properties induced by the embedding of the family of…

We consider a certain class of Riemannian submersions $\pi : N \to M$ and study lifted geodesic random walks from the base manifold $M$ to the total manifold $N$. Under appropriate conditions on the distribution of the speed of the geodesic…

In this paper the space of images is considered as a Riemannian manifold using the metamorphosis approach, where the underlying Riemannian metric simultaneously measures the cost of image transport and intensity variation. A robust and…

The aim of this work is to study the convergence to equilibrium of an $(h,\rho)$-subelliptic random walk on a closed, connected Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ associated with a subelliptic second-order differential operator $A$ on $M$. In such…

Given a measure space ${\mathcal X}$, we can construct a number of induced structures: eg. its $L^2$ space, the space ${\mathcal P}({\mathcal X})$ of probability distributions on ${\mathcal X}$. If, in addition, ${\mathcal X}$ admits a…

We study the Classical Probability analogue of the dilations of a quantum dynamical semigroup in Quantum Probability. Given a (not necessarily homogeneous) Markov chain in discrete time in a finite state space E, we introduce a second…

We define an evolution of multiple particles on a discrete manifold $G$. Each particle alone moves on geodesics and particles can interact if they are on the same facet. They move deterministically and reversibly on the frame bundle $P$ of…

We study classical Hamiltonian systems in which the intrinsic proper time evolution parameter is related through a probability distribution to the physical time, which is assumed to be discrete. - This is motivated by the ``timeless''…
