Resumen de A geometry on the space of probabilities II. Projectives spaces and exponential families

Henryk Gzyl , Lázaro Recht

• In this note we continue a theme taken up in part I, see [Gzyl and Recht: The geometry on the class of probabilities (I). The finite dimensional case. Rev. Mat. Iberoamericana 22 (2006), 545-558], namely to provide a geometric interpretation of exponential families as end points of geodesics of a non-metric connection in a function space. For that we characterize the space of probability densities as a projective space in the class of strictly positive functions, and these will be regarded as a homogeneous reductive space in the class of all bounded complex valued functions. We shall develop everything in a generic C*-algebra setting, but shall have the function space model in mind
