Geometry from divergence functions and complex structures

Abstract

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 metric-like tensor on $M\times M$ from a divergence function. These tensors may be pulled back to $M$, and we compute them in the case of an N-dimensional symplex with respect to the Kullback-Leibler relative entropy, and in the case of (a suitable unfolding space of) the manifold of faithful density operators with respect to the von Neumann-Umegaki relative entropy.
