Oct 13, 2019 at 7:03 comment added diadochos The question arose in statistics. I was wondering how much a distribution function is changed (in its values in the density) by a variable transformation, and I wanted to quantify the change in some measure. The metric did not have to be an Lp-norm, but I thought that would be a good starting point.
Oct 13, 2019 at 7:01 comment added diadochos Hi, thank you for the quick comments and I'm sorry for the late reply. I understood most of it, but the part saying "the linear map $g \mapsto f_T$" confused me a little. Is it a linear map that maps a D-form to another D-form, instead of $g$ to $f_T$ ? I'll look into the referenced book. Thank you!

Oct 6, 2019 at 16:48 comment added DCM I hope you'll forgive me for being nosy, but I'd be interested in how you came to ask this question; are you able to give any details of the context in which this question arose?
Oct 6, 2019 at 16:43 comment added DCM 1. I'm using the word `suitable' here to mean that there exist $\lambda,\Lambda>0$ such that $\lambda < |\mathrm{det}(D\varphi(x))|<\Lambda$ for all $x\in \mathbb{R}^D$. You need this constraint (or at least something like it) to make sure the pullback operation gives you an endomorphism of $X$.
