Abstract

The geometry of hypersurfaces defined by the relation which generalizes the classical formula for free energy in terms of microstates is studied. The induced metric, the Riemann curvature tensor, the Gauss-Kronecker curvature and its associated entropy are calculated. A special class of ideal statistical hypersurfaces is analyzed in detail. Non-ideal hypersurfaces and singularities similar to those of the phase transitions are considered. The tropical limit of the statistical hypersurfaces and the double scaling tropical limit are discussed too.
