The moduli spaces of left-invariant statistical structures on Lie groups

Abstract

In the context of information geometry, the concept known as left-invariant statistical structure on Lie groups is defined by Furuhata--Inoguchi--Kobayashi (Inf Geom 4(1):177--188, 2021). In this paper, we introduce the notion of the moduli space of left-invariant statistical structures on a Lie group. We study the moduli spaces for three particular Lie groups, each of which has a moduli space of left-invariant Riemannian metrics that is a singleton. As applications, we classify left-invariant conjugate symmetric statistical structures and left-invariant dually flat structures (which are equivalent to left-invariant Hessian structures) on these three Lie groups. A characterization of the Amari--Chentsov $\hat{I}\pm$-connections on the Takano Gaussian space is also given.
