Amari Functors and Dynamics in Gauge Structures

Abstract

We deal with finite dimensional differentiable manifolds. All items are concerned with are differentiable as well. The class of differentiability is $C^\infty$. A metric structure in a vector bundle $E$ is a constant rank symmetric bilinear vector bundle homomorphism of $E\times E$ in the trivial bundle line bundle. We address the question whether a given gauge structure in $E$ is metric. That is the main concerns. We use generalized Amari functors of the information geometry for introducing two index functions defined in the moduli space of gauge structures in $E$. Beside we introduce a differential equation whose analysis allows to link the new index functions just mentioned with the main concerns. We sketch applications in the differential geometry theory of statistics. Reader interested in a former forum on the question whether a giving connection is metric are referred to appendix.
