A Riemannian metric is termed a Hessian metric if in some coordinate system it can be locally represented as the Hessian quadratic form of some locally defined smooth potential function. Under very mild extra technical conditions, we first…

A Riemannian metric is called Hessian if, locally, it can be written as the Hessian of a function called the Hessian potential. A (flat) Manin-Frobenius manifold is a flat Riemannian manifold furnished with a commutative and associative…

For a differentiable manifold $M$, a pair $(M, \nabla)$ is called an affine manifold if $\nabla$ is a flat and torsion-free connection on the tangent bundle $TM\rightarrow M$. A Riemannian metric $g$ on $M$ is said to be a Hessian metric on…

A statistical manifold $\left(M,D,g\right)$ is a manifold $M$ endowed with a torsion-free connection $D$ and a Riemannian metric $g$ such that the tensor $D g$ is totally symmetric. If $D$ is flat then $\left(M,g,D\right)$ is a Hessian…

A selfsimiar manifold is a Riemannian manifold $\left(M,g\right)$ endowed with a homothetic vector field $\xi$. We characterize global selfsimilar manifolds and describe the structure of local selfsimilar manifolds. We prove that any…

On a Riemannian or a semi-Riemannian manifold, the metric determines invariants like the Levi-Civita connection and the Riemann curvature. If the metric becomes degenerate (as in singular semi-Riemannian geometry), these constructions no…

In our previous work, we have generalized the notion of dually flat or Hessian manifold to quasi-Hessian manifold; it admits the Hessian metric to be degenerate but possesses a particular symmetric cubic tensor (generalized Amari-Centsov…

The space of all non degenerate bilinear structures on a manifold $M$ carries a one parameter family of pseudo Riemannian metrics. We determine the geodesic equation, covariant derivative, curvature, and we solve the geodesic equation…

We solve explicitly the geodesic equation for a wide class of (pseudo)-Riemannian homogeneous manifolds (G/H,m), including those with G compact, as well as non-compact semisimple Lie groups, under a simple algebraic condition for the metric…

The expression (-1/u) times the Hessian of u transforms as a symmetric (0,2) tensor under projective coordinate transformations, so long as u transforms as a section of a certain line bundle. On a locally projectively flat manifold M, the…

In this paper we study pseudo-Riemannian spaces with a degenerate curvature structure i.e. there exists a continuous family of metrics having identical polynomial curvature invariants. We approach this problem by utilising an idea coming…

Shape spaces are fundamental in a variety of applications including image registration, morphing, matching, interpolation, and shape optimization. In this work, we consider two-dimensional shapes represented by triangular meshes of a given…

Let $M$ be a graph manifold such that each piece of its JSJ decomposition has the $\Bbb H^2 \times \Bbb R$ geometry. Assume that the pieces are glued by isometries. Then, there exists a complete Riemannian metric on $\Bbb R \times M$ which…

In a previous work [J. Chem. Phys. 155, 244111 (2021)], we found counterexamples to the fundamental Hohenberg-Kohn theorem from density-functional theory in finite-lattice systems represented by graphs. Here, we demonstrate that this only…

We study a class of affine manifolds equipped with a flat affine connection $\nabla$ and a global Riemannian metric $g$ that is diagonal in local affine coordinates. These structures are closely related to \emph{Hessian manifolds}, where…

A Riemannian manifold is called geometrically formal if the wedge product of harmonic forms is again harmonic, which implies in the compact case that the manifold is topologically formal in the sense of rational homotopy theory. A manifold…

A 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold M, equipped with an additional tensor structure S, whose fourth power is minus identity, is considered. The structure S has a skew-circulant matrix with respect to some basis of the tangent space at a…

The Fefferman-Graham metric is frequently used for derivation of the first law of the entanglement thermodynamics. On ther other hand, the entanglement thermodynamics is well formulated by the Hessian geometry. The aim of this work is to…
