Abstract

Motivated by the geometrical structures of quantum mechanics, we introduce an almost-complex structure JJ on the product M×MM\times M of any parallelizable statistical manifold MM. Then, we use JJ to extract a pre-symplectic form and a metric-like tensor on M×MM\times M from a divergence function. These tensors may be pulled back to MM, and we compute them in the case of an N-dimensional symplex with respect to the Kullback-Leibler relative entropy, and in the case of (a suitable unfolding space of) the manifold of faithful density operators with respect to the von Neumann-Umegaki relative entropy.
