In this paper we first propose a framework of structure-preserving submersions, which generalises the concept of a Riemannian submersion, and dualises the concept of subgeometry, or "structure-preserving immersions". The emphasis of our…

Machine-learned normalizing flows can be used in the context of lattice quantum field theory to generate statistically correlated ensembles of lattice gauge fields at different action parameters. This work demonstrates how these…

Getting tools that allow simple representations and comparisons of a set of categorical trajectories is of major interest for statisticians. Without loosing any information, we associate to each state a binary random indicator function,…

The Koopman operator enables the analysis of nonlinear dynamical systems through a linear perspective by describing time evolution in the infinite-dimensional space of observables. Here this formalism is applied to shear flows, specifically…

Several problems in neuroimaging and beyond require inference on the parameters of multi-task sparse hierarchical regression models. Examples include M/EEG inverse problems, neural encoding models for task-based fMRI analyses, and climate…

Gaussian random fields are popular models for spatially varying uncertainties, arising for instance in geotechnical engineering, hydrology or image processing. A Gaussian random field is fully characterised by its mean function and…
