We extend the trace-logarithmic $S$-divergence from matrices to tracial $C^*$-algebras and finite von Neumann algebras, and show that its square root defines a metric on the invertible positive cone. We also prove an integral representation…

The emergence of generalized square metrics in Finsler geometry can be attributed to various classification concerning ({\alpha}, \beta})-metrics. They have excellent geometric properties in Finsler geometry. Within the scope of this…

Recently, Chen and Sbert proposed a general divergence measure. This report presents some interim findings about the question whether the divergence measure is a metric or not. It has been postulated that (i) the measure might be a metric…

In this short note, we prove that the square root of the quantum Jensen-Shannon divergence is a true metric on the cone of positive matrices, and hence in particular on the quantum state space.

Metrization of statistical divergences is valuable in both theoretical and practical aspects. One approach to obtaining metrics associated with divergences is to consider their fractional powers. Motivated by this idea, Os\'an, Bussandri,…

Let $G \subsetneq \mathbb{R}^n$ be a domain and let $d_1$ and $d_2$ be two metrics on $G$. We compare the geometries defined by the two metrics to each other for several pairs of metrics. The metrics we study include the distance ratio…

Metric spaces $(X, d)$ are ubiquitous objects in mathematics and computer science that allow for capturing (pairwise) distance relationships $d(x, y)$ between points $x, y \in X$. Because of this, it is natural to ask what useful…

A new class of metric measure spaces is introduced and studied. This class generalises the well-established doubling metric measure spaces as well as the spaces (R^n,mu) with mu(B(x,r))<Cr^d, in which non-doubling harmonic analysis has…

The asymmetric skew divergence smooths one of the distributions by mixing it, to a degree determined by the parameter $\lambda$, with the other distribution. Such divergence is an approximation of the KL divergence that does not require the…
