Abstract: We study geodesic equations for a family of right-invariant Riemannian metrics on the group of diffeomorphisms of a compact manifold. The metrics descend to Fisher's information metric on the space of smooth probability densities. The right reduced geodesic equations are higher-dimensional generalisations of the $mu$--Hunter--Saxton equation, used to model liquid crystals under influence of magnetic fields. Local existence and uniqueness results are established by proving smoothness of the geodesic spray. The descending property of the metrics is used to obtain a novel factorisation of diffeomorphisms. Analogous to the polar factorisation in optimal mass transport, this factorisation solves an optimal information transport problem. It can be seen as an infinite-dimensional version of $QR$ factorisation of matrices.

Review text

The paper under review investigates geodesic equations corresponding to a family of right-invariant Riemannian metrics on the diffeomorphism group of a compact manifold. One of the main results is a factorization of diffeomorphisms that can be regarded as an analogue of the QR factorization of matrices.
