Locally conformally Hessian and statistical manifolds
Abstract
A statistical manifold is a manifold endowed with a torsion-free connection and a Riemannian metric such that the tensor is totally symmetric. If is flat then is a Hessian manifold. A locally conformally Hessian (l.c.H) manifold is a quotient of a Hessian manifold such that the monodromy group acts on by Hessian homotheties, i.e. this action preserves and multiplies by a group character. The l.c.H. rank is the rank of the image of this character considered as a function from the monodromy group to real numbers. A l.c.H. manifold is called radiant if the Lee vector field is Killing and satisfies . We prove that the set of radiant l.c.H. metrics of l.c.H. rank 1 is dense in the set of all radiant l.c.H. metrics. We prove a structure theorem for compact radiant l.c.H. manifold of l.c.H. rank 1. Every such manifold is fibered over a circle, the fibers are statistical manifolds of constant curvature, the fibration is locally trivial, and is reconstructed from the statistical structure on the fibers and the monodromy automorphism induced by this fibration.
