Infinite Dimensional Quantum Information Geometry

We present the construction of an infinite dimensional Banach manifold of quantum mechanical states on a Hilbert space H using different types of small perturbations of a given Hamiltonian. We provide the manifold with a flat connection, called the exponential connection, and comment on the possibility of introducing the dual mixture connection.Comment: Proceedings of the Disordered and Complex Systems, King's College, London, 10-14 July 2000 (satellite meeting of the ICMP2000

Dual Connections in Nonparametric Classical Information Geometry

We construct an infinite-dimensional information manifold based on exponential Orlicz spaces without using the notion of exponential convergence. We then show that convex mixtures of probability densities lie on the same connected component of this manifold, and characterize the class of densities for which this mixture can be extended to an open segment containing the extreme points. For this class, we define an infinite-dimensional analogue of the mixture parallel transport and prove that it is dual to the exponential parallel transport with respect to the Fisher information. We also define {\alpha}-derivatives and prove that they are convex mixtures of the extremal (\pm 1)-derivatives

The explicit Laplace transform for the Wishart process

We derive the explicit formula for the joint Laplace transform of the Wishart process and its time integral which extends the original approach of Bru. We compare our methodology with the alternative results given by the variation of constants method, the linearization of the Matrix Riccati ODE's and the Runge-Kutta algorithm. The new formula turns out to be fast and accurate.Comment: Accepted on: Journal of Applied Probability 51(3), 201

An analytic multi-currency model with stochastic volatility and stochastic interest rates

We introduce a tractable multi-currency model with stochastic volatility and correlated stochastic interest rates that takes into account the smile in the FX market and the evolution of yield curves. The pricing of vanilla options on FX rates can be performed effciently through the FFT methodology thanks to the affinity of the model Our framework is also able to describe many non trivial links between FX rates and interest rates: a second calibration exercise highlights the ability of the model to fit simultaneously FX implied volatilities while being coherent with interest rate products
