This paper studies the geometry of immersions into statistical manifolds. A necessary and sufficient condition is obtained for statistical manifold structures to be dual to each other for a non-degenerate equiaffine immersion. Then we obtain conditions for realizing an n-dimensional statistical manifold in an (n+1)-dim…

In this paper, we prove that a strongly convex complex Finsler metric $F$ on a domain $D\subset\mathbb{C}^n$ is projectively flat (resp. dually flat) if and only if $F$ comes from a strongly convex complex Minkowski metric.

In this paper, I will show how to use $β$-deformations to deal with dual flatness of $(α,β)$-metrics. It is a natural continuation of the research on dually flat Randers metrics(see arxiv:1209.1150). $β$-deformations is a new method in Riemann-Finsler geometry, it is introduced by the author(see arxiv:1209.0845).

Exponential families and mixture families are parametric probability models that can be geometrically studied as smooth statistical manifolds with respect to any statistical divergence like the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence or the Hellinger divergence. When equipping a statistical manifold with the KL divergence, th…

In this work, the dual flatness, which is connected with Statistics and Information geometry, of general $(α,β)$-metrics (a new class of Finsler metrics) is studied. A nice characterization for such metrics to be dually flat under some suitable conditions is provided and all the solutions are completely determined. By …

Later on I will provide more applications of the new kind of deformations in Finsler geometry.

In this paper, we find a condition under which a Finsler space with Kropina change of mth-root metric is projectively related to a mth-root metric and also we find a condition under which this Kropina transformed mth-root metric is locally dually flat. Moreover we find the condition for its Projective flatness.

In Riemannian geometry geodesics are integral curves of the Riemannian distance gradient. We extend this classical result to the framework of Information Geometry. In particular, we prove that the rays of level-sets defined by a pseudo-distance are generated by the sum of two tangent vectors. By relying on these vector…

The dual variety X* for a smooth n-dimensional variety X of the projective space P^N is the set of tangent hyperplanes to X. In the general case, the variety X* is a hypersurface in the dual space (P^N)*. If dim X* < N - 1, then the variety X is called dually degenerate. The authors refine these definitions for a varie…
