Fisher's geometrical model of evolutionary adaptation--beyond spherical geometry.
Fisher's geometrical model of evolutionary adaptation has recently been used in a variety of contexts of interest to evolutionary biologists. The renewed interest in this model strongly motivates generalizations that make it a more realistic description of evolutionary adaptation. Previously, the distribution of mutant effects has, for analytical tractability, rather than biological realism, be...
متن کاملInformation geometry of the spherical model.
Motivated by the observation that geometrizing statistical mechanics offers an interesting alternative to more standard approaches, we calculate the scaling behavior of the curvature R of the information geometry metric for the spherical model. We find that R approximately epsilon(-2), where epsilon=beta(c)-beta is the distance from criticality. The discrepancy from the naively expected scaling...
متن کاملThe Information Geometry of the Spherical Model
Motivated by previous observations that geometrizing statistical mechanics offers an interesting alternative to more standard approaches, we have recently calculated the curvature (the fundamental object in this approach) of the information geometry metric for the Ising model on an ensemble of planar random graphs. The standard critical exponents for this model are α = −1, β = 1/2, γ = 2 and we...
متن کاملGeometrical spinoptics & symplectic geometry
The object of this talk is to illustrate the usefulness of symplectic geometry in understanding new features of geometrical optics for spinning light in refractive media, e.g., the subtle transverse shift of light beams across an interface, which has been coined the Spin Hall Effect of Light [1]. We reformulate Fermat’s principle to describe spinning light rays in Riemannian three-manifolds, (M...
متن کاملspherical interpretation of plane geometry in menelaus of alexandria’s sphaerica
menelaus’ sphaerica can be considered as the most important classical text in the tradition of spherics books, written with the aim of the solution of problems arising in spherical astonomy. euclid’s elements is the the most important book on plane geometry. this article aims at a comparative study of menelaus’s sphaerica and euclid’s elements, to show that book i of sphaerica is an attempt to ...
