Abstract

We give sufficient conditions for a parametrised family of probability measures on a Riemannian manifold with boundary to be represented by random maps of class $C^k$. The conditions allow for the probability densities to approach zero towards the boundary of the manifold. We also formulate two obstructions to regular representability.

The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Research Council under the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) / ERC grant agreement no. 267087.
