It is in particular a very close relative of Ka?hlerian geometry, and connected with many important pure mathematical branches such as affine differential geometry, homogeneous spaces and cohomology. The theory also finds deep relation to information geometry in applied mathematics. This systematic introduction to the subject first develops the fundamentals of Hessian structures on the basis of a certain pair of a flat connection and a Riemannian metric, and then describes these related fields as applications of the 517 3 $aHessian structures 606 $aGeometry, Differential 606 $aHomology theory 606 $aHomogeneous spaces 606 $aManifolds (Mathematics) 615 0$aGeometry, Differential. 615 0$aHomology theory. 615 0$aHomogeneous spaces. 615 0$aManifolds (Mathematics) 676 $a516.36 700 $aShima$b Hirohiko$0629790 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784038503321 996 $aGeometry of Hessian structures$91225626 997 $aUNINA
