- We revisit the geodesic approach to ideal hydrodynamics and present a related geometric framework for Newton’s equations on groups of diffeomorphisms and spaces of probability densities. The latter setting is sufficiently general to include equations of compressible and incompressible fluid dynamics, magnetohydrodynamics, shallow water systems and equations of relativistic fluids. We illustrate this with a survey of selected examples, as well as with new results, using the tools of infinite-dimensional information geometry, optimal transport, the Madelung transform, and the formalism of symplectic and Poisson reduction.

- We develop a geometric framework for Newton-type equations on the infinite-dimensional configuration space of probability densities. It can be viewed as a second order analogue of the "Otto calculus" framework for gradient flow equations. Namely, for an n-dimensional manifold M we derive Newton's equations on the group of diffeomorphisms Diff(M) and the space of smooth probability densities Dens(M), as well as describe the Hamiltonian reduction relating them. For example, the compressible Euler equations are obtained by a Poisson reduction of Newton's equation on Diff(M) with the symmetry group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms, while the Hamilton-Jacobi equation of fluid mechanics corresponds to potential solutions. We also prove that the Madelung transform between Schrodinger-type and Newton's equations is a symplectomorphism between the corresponding phase spaces T* Dens(M) and PL2 (M, C). This improves on the previous symplectic submersion result of von Renesse [1]. Furthermore, we prove that the Madelung transform is a Kahler map provided that the space of densities is equipped with the (prolonged) Fisher-Rao information metric and describe its dynamical applications. This geometric setting for the Madelung transform sheds light on the relation between the classical Fisher-Rao metric and its quantum counterpart, the Bures metric. In addition to compressible Euler, Hamilton-Jacobi, and linear and nonlinear Schrodinger equations, the framework for Newton equations encapsulates Burgers' inviscid equation, shallow water equations, two-component and mu-Hunter-Saxton equations, the Klein-Gordon equation, and infinite-dimensional Neumann problems.
