We consider three 'classical doubles' of any semisimple, connected and simply connected compact Lie group $G$: the cotangent bundle, the Heisenberg double and the internally fused quasi-Poisson double. On each double we identify a pair of…
In many applications, one encounters signals that lie on manifolds rather than a Euclidean space. In particular, covariance matrices are examples of ubiquitous mathematical objects that have a non Euclidean structure. The application of…
