Curvature of exponential families and ruled surfaces
- Stephan Weis (Universität Erlangen)
Abstract
The state space of two bits contains the exponential family of product states. This family forms a surface of second order and is also a ruled surface. For the latter, there exists a geometrically motivated parametrization that implies an easy curvature formula. Which of these structures may be extended to exponential families of a more general type?
