چکیده
In this paper we consider the space of those probability distributions which maximize the q-Rényi entropy. These distributions have the same parameter space for every q, and in the q = 1 case these are the normal distributions. Some methods to endow this parameter space with Riemannian metric is presented: the second derivative of the q-Rényi entropy, Tsallis-entropy and the relative entropy give rise to a Riemannian metric, the Fisher-information matrix is a natural Riemannian metric, and there are some geometrically motivated metrics which were studied by Siegel, Calvo and Oller, Lovrić, Min-Oo and Ruh. These metrics are different therefore our differential geometrical calculations based on a unified metric, which covers all the above mentioned metrics among others. We also compute the geometrical properties of this metric, the equation of the geodesic line with some special solutions, the Riemann and Ricci curvature tensors and scalar curvature. Using the correspondence between the volume of the geodesic ball and the scalar curvature we show how the parameter q modulates the statistical distinguishability of close points. We show that some frequently used metric in quantum information geometry can be easily recovered from classical metrics.

This paper deals with surfaces with many lines. It is well-known that a cubic contains 27 of them and that the maximal number for a quartic is 64. In higher degree the question remains open. Here we study classical and new constructions of surfaces with high number of lines. We obtain in particular a symmetric octic with 352 lines. Cubic surface with 27 lines

The Mabuchi K-energy map is exhibited as a singular metric on the refined CM polarization of any equivariant family X p → S. Consequently we show that the generalized Futaki invariant is the leading term in the asymptotics of the reduced K-energy of the generic fiber of the map p. Properness of the K-energy implies that the generalized Futaki invariant is strictly negative.
