A Riemannian metric is termed a Hessian metric if in some coordinate system it can be locally represented as the Hessian quadratic form of some locally defined smooth potential function. Under very mild extra technical conditions, we first…

A Riemannian metric on a manifold M induces a family of Riemannian metrics on the loop space LM depending on a Sobolev space parameter s. We compute the connection forms of these metrics and the higher symbols of their curvature forms,…

Let $M$ be a complete connected Riemannian manifold. For $n \geq 0$, we endow the Wasserstein space $P^{(n)}_2(M) = P_2(\ldots P_2(M)\ldots)$, equipped with the Wasserstein distance $W_2$, with a variational structure that generalizes the…
