proposeddifferential-geometrieal
investigation
of the parameter space 'ofquantum(or
elassieal)information
thermo-dynamics
withhigher
order temperatures.Today,
during
my second stayin
Japan,
I
am ableto present
here
a partialsolution of this problem, anyhow a principalsolution whieh eanbe
performed to the end
for
simplest eases,but
for
more complieated ones, as usually, requiresyet a
lot
of work and canbe
done
mostly onlyin
a qualitative sense.The
solutionhas
been
found
due
to a remarkableinvestigation
executed quite reeently inSapporo
during
my staythere
by
Y.
Sato,
K.
Sugawa
and M.Kawaguchi
[2],
ef.[3].
In
my presentleeture
I
willtryto
be
as elementary as possibleand will show the merit on the simplestphysical
examplesnot assuming any speeial
knowledge
of physies. For furtherdetails
I have to refer to thepublications which are in preparation
[2]
and[3].
Let
usfirst
consider the simplest ease of classical statisticai thermodynamics, that of anideal gas. We shall eonsider thisease eompletely
by
the method ofinformation
thermodynamieswhieh seems to
be
not only the simplest one,but
also mathematically most clear andpreeise
(for
deeper physieal foundation of thismethod cf.[4]).

(A
canbe,
e.g., a cube,but
notnecessarily). The space is Euelidean and we
do
not consider any outer physical fieldin this spaee,just
for
the sake of simplicity.The
particlesare of mass m and their positions and velocities eanbe

Using

of a physica! system we get in meanlicT

Looking at
f(q,p;

in(13)
we see that itdepends
on two sets of variables:"micro-scopical" phase space variables(q,
p)(9ERe" and "maeroscopical" thermodynamicalparameters

In
his
"catastrophe theory" of general(topological)
dynamical
systemsRen6
Thom
ealls the spaee of the
first
sort of variables "behaviorspaee" and the space of the second
sort of variables "control spaee", whieh corresponds very well to the physical situation.
In
the multivariate analysis of statistics one speakg about the space of parameters
(in
ourphysical example thisspace
is
2-dimensional),and onediscusses
"distance"or "divergence"
be-tween
"statistical hypotheses" represented
by
two points of sueh parameter space, cf.I5],
[6],
[7].
Particularly
interesting
is
theinformational

ordivergence

by
Kullback
and
Leibler
[5],
cf. also[6],
calledby
Renyi
"infermation gain"[7]
andby
Sch16gl
"entropyproduction"or "information production"
[8].
Sch16gl
introdueed
this quantity tothermo-dynamics and
diseussed
its
connection with stability conditions ofLjapunov
