Taking as starting point the approach to the divergence operator on weighted graphs, we give a notion of divergence associated to transport coupling and coupled measures on locally compact Hausdorff spaces. We consider the induced Laplacian…

Motivated by the geometrical structures of quantum mechanics, we introduce an almost-complex structure $J$ on the product $M\times M$ of any parallelizable statistical manifold $M$. Then, we use $J$ to extract a pre-symplectic form and a…
