Differential Geometry Derived from Divergence Functions: Information Geometry Approach
We study differential-geometrical structure of an information manifold equipped with a divergence function. A divergence function generates a Riemannian metric and furthermore it provides a symmetric third-order tensor, when the divergence is asymmetric. This induces a pair of affine connections dually coupled to each other with respect to the Riemannian metric. This is the arising emerged from...
متن کاملNon-smooth differential geometry and algebras of generalized functions
Algebras of generalized functions offer possibilities beyond the purely distributional approach in modelling singular quantities in non-smooth differential geometry. This article presents an introductory survey of recent developments in this field and highlights some applications in mathematical physics.

متن کاملDifferential Geometry via Harmonic Functions
In this talk, I will discuss the use of harmonic functions to study the geometry and topology of complete manifolds. In my previous joint work with Luen-fai Tam, we discovered that the number of infinities of a complete manifold can be estimated by the dimension of a certain space of harmonic functions. Applying this to a complete manifold whose Ricci curvature is almost non-negative, we showed...
متن کاملInformation geometry of divergence functions
Measures of divergence between two points play a key role in many engineering problems. One such measure is a distance function, but there are many important measures which do not satisfy the properties of the distance. The Bregman divergence, KullbackLeibler divergence and f -divergence are such measures. In the present article, we study the differential-geometrical structure of a manifold ind...
متن کاملNoncommutative Differential Geometry of Generalized Weyl Algebras
Elements of noncommutative differential geometry of Z-graded generalized Weyl algebras A(p; q) over the ring of polynomials in two variables and their zero-degree subalgebras B(p; q), which themselves are generalized Weyl algebras over the ring of polynomials in one variable, are discussed. In particular, three classes of skew derivations of A(p; q) are constructed, and three-dimensional first-...
