Dually Flat Randers Metrics

  • Chapter

Abstract

The notion of dually flat metrics was first introduced by Amari and Nagaoka ([AmNa]) when they study the information geometry on Riemann spaces. Later on, Shen extends the notion of dually flatness to Finsler metrics ([Sh]). Locally dually flat Finsler metrics are studied in Finsler information geometry and naturally arise from the investigation on so-called flat information structure.
