Abstract

We study invariant statistical connections on the space N0n\mathcal{N}_0^n of zero-mean multivariate normal distributions (the multivariate centered Gaussian model) equipped with the Fisher metric gFg^F. We introduce moduli spaces of invariant statistical connections on homogeneous Riemannian manifolds via two natural equivalence relations arising from a categorical viewpoint, and apply this framework to (N0n,gF)(\mathcal{N}_0^n, g^F). We explicitly determine the GL(n,R)GL(n,\mathbb{R})-invariant and Isom(N0n,gF)\mathrm{Isom}(\mathcal{N}_0^n, g^F)-invariant statistical connections, with particular emphasis on the dually flat case, and describe the corresponding moduli spaces.
