Starting from an axiomatic perspective, emph{fluctuation geometry} is developed as a counterpart approach of inference geometry. This approach is inspired on the existence of a notable analogy between the general theorems of emph{inference theory} and the the emph{general fluctuation theorems} associated with a parametric family of distribution functions $dp(I|theta)=rho(I|theta)dI$, which describes the behavior of a set of emph{continuous stochastic variables} driven by a set of control parameters $theta$. In this approach, statistical properties are rephrased as purely geometric notions derived from the emph{Riemannian structure} on the manifold $mathcal{M}_{theta}$ of stochastic variables $I$. Consequently, this theory arises as an alternative framework for applying the powerful methods of differential geometry for the statistical analysis. Fluctuation geometry has direct implications on statistics and physics. This geometric approach inspires a Riemannian reformulation of Einstein fluctuation theory as well as a geometric redefinition of the information entropy for a continuous distribution.

Fluctuation geometry was recently proposed as a counterpart approach of Riemannian geometry of inference theory. This theory describes the geometric features of the statistical manifold $mathcal{M}$ of random events that are described by a family of continuous distributions $dp(x|theta)$. A main goal of this work is to clarify the statistical relevance of Levi-Civita curvature tensor $R_{ijkl}(x|theta)$ of the statistical manifold $mathcal{M}$. For this purpose, the notion of emph{irreducible statistical correlations} is introduced. Specifically, a distribution $dp(x|theta)$ exhibits irreducible statistical correlations if every distribution $dp(check{x}|theta)$ obtained from $dp(x|theta)$ by considering a coordinate change $check{x}=phi(x)$ cannot be factorized into independent distributions as $dp(check{x}|theta)=prod_{i}dp^{(i)}(check{x}^{i}|theta)$. It is shown that the curvature tensor $R_{ijkl}(x|theta)$ arises as a direct indicator about the existence of irreducible statistical correlations. Moreover, the curvature scalar $R(x|theta)$ allows to introduce a criterium for the applicability of the emph{gaussian approximation} of a given distribution function. This type of asymptotic result is obtained in the framework of the second-order geometric expansion of the distributions family $dp(x|theta)$, which appears as a counterpart development of the high-order asymptotic theory of statistical estimation. In physics, fluctuation geometry represents the mathematical apparatus of a Riemannian extension for Einsteins fluctuation theory of statistical mechanics. Some exact results of fluctuation geometry are now employed to derive the emph{invariant fluctuation theorems}.
We describe all linear operators on spaces of multivariate polynomials preserving the property of being non-vanishing in open circular domains. This completes the multivariate generalization of the classification program initiated by Polya-Schur for univariate real polynomials and provides a natural framework for dealing in a uniform way with Lee-Yang type problems in statistical mechanics, combinatorics, and geometric function theory. This is an announcement with some of the main results in arXiv:0809.0401 and arXiv:0809.3087.
We develop a geometric approach to operator growth and Krylov complexity in many-body quantum systems governed by symmetries. We start by showing a direct link between a unitary evolution with the Liouvillian and the displacement operator of appropri ate generalized coherent states. This connection maps operator growth to a purely classical motion in phase space. The phase spaces are endowed with a natural information metric. We show that, in this geometry, operator growth is represented by geodesics and Krylov complexity is proportional to a volume. This geometric perspective also provides two novel avenues towards computation of Lanczos coefficients and sheds new light on the origin of their maximal growth. We describe the general idea and analyze it in explicit examples among which we reproduce known results from the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model, derive operator growth based on SU(2) and Heisenberg-Weyl symmetries, and generalize the discussion to conformal field theories. Finally, we use techniques from quantum optics to study operator evolution with quantum information tools such as entanglement and Renyi entropies, negativity, fidelity, relative entropy and capacity of entanglement.
In statistics, independent, identically distributed random samples do not carry a natural ordering, and their statistics are typically invariant with respect to permutations of their order. Thus, an $n$-sample in a space $M$ can be considered as an e lement of the quotient space of $M^n$ modulo the permutation group. The present paper takes this definition of sample space and the related concept of orbit types as a starting point for developing a geometric perspective on statistics. We aim at deriving a general mathematical setting for studying the behavior of empirical and population means in spaces ranging from smooth Riemannian manifolds to general stratified spaces. We fully describe the orbifold and path-metric structure of the sample space when $M$ is a manifold or path-metric space, respectively. These results are non-trivial even when $M$ is Euclidean. We show that the infinite sample space exists in a Gromov-Hausdorff type sense and coincides with the Wasserstein space of probability distributions on $M$. We exhibit Frechet means and $k$-means as metric projections onto 1-skeleta or $k$-skeleta in Wasserstein space, and we define a new and more general notion of polymeans. This geometric characterization via metric projections applies equally to sample and population means, and we use it to establish asymptotic properties of polymeans such as consistency and asymptotic normality.

We obtain, by extensive direct numerical simulations, trajectories of heavy inertial particles in two-dimensional, statistically steady, homogeneous, and isotropic turbulent flows, with friction. We show that the probability distribution function $ma thcal{P}(kappa)$, of the trajectory curvature $kappa$, is such that, as $kappa to infty$, $mathcal{P}(kappa) sim kappa^{-h_{rm r}}$, with $h_{rm r} = 2.07 pm 0.09$. The exponent $h_{rm r}$ is universal, insofar as it is independent of the Stokes number ($rm{St}$) and the energy-injection wave number. We show that this exponent lies within error bars of their counterparts for trajectories of Lagrangian tracers. We demonstrate that the complexity of heavy-particle trajectories can be characterized by the number $N_{rm I}(t,{rm St})$ of inflection points (up until time $t$) in the trajectory and $n_{rm I} ({rm St}) equiv lim_{ttoinfty} frac{N_{rm I} (t,{rm St})}{t} sim {rm St}^{-Delta}$, where the exponent $Delta = 0.33 pm0.02$ is also universal.
