For an nXn matrix whose minimal polynomial has degree n, a new class of curves in R^n is introduced, which we call reduced centroaffine curves. We show that a reduced centroaffine curve lies on an explicitly described centroaffine homogeneous surface if the curvature satisfies a certain simple condition.

We present statistical biharmonic maps, a new class of mappings between statistical manifolds naturally derived from a variation problem. We give the Euler-Lagrange equation of this problem and prove that improper affine hyperspheres induce examples of such maps.

A brief introduction of doubly minimal submanifolds of statistical manifolds is given. A complex submanifold of a holomorphic statistical manifold is doubly minimal. Similar properties are obtained in the case where the ambient space is a Sasakian statistical manifold.

We characterize centroaffine surfaces of cohomogeneity one such that each normal directrix lies on a plane containing the origin.

We define a kind of sectional curvature and delta-invariants for statistical manifolds. For statistical submanifolds the sum of the squared mean curvature and the squared dual mean curvature is bounded below by using the delta-invariant. This inequality can be considered as a generalization of the so-called Chen inequality for Riemannian submanifolds.

We generalize the Euler inequality for statistical submanifolds. Several basic examples of doubly autoparallel statistical submanifolds in warped product spaces are described, for which the equality holds at each point. Besides, doubly totally-umbilical submanifolds are also illustrated.

We show that the statistical manifold of normal distributions is homogeneous. In particular, it admits a 2-dimensional solvable Lie group structure. In addition, we give a geometric characterization of the Amari-Chentsov alpha-connections on the Lie group.

We characterize centroaffine surfaces of cohomogeneity one which have vanishing Tchebychev vector fields. Moreover, we classify centroaffine minimal surfaces of cohomogeneity one which have centroaffine metrics of constant curvature.

We determine a nondegenerate centroaffine ruled surface such that the image of its center map lies on a plane containing the origin. Furthermore, we give a centroaffine minimal surface such that the image of its center map lies on a plane not containing the origin, and illustrate a one parameter family of centroaffine ruled surfaces having the same center map whose image lies on a circle on such a plane.

The statistical sectional curvature of the warped product of two statistical manifolds is studied. A notion of a Kenmotsu statistical manifold is introduced, which is locally obtained as the warped product of a holomorphic statistical manifold and a line.

A notion of Sasakian statistical structure is introduced. The condition for a real hypersurface in a holomorphic statistical manifold to admit such a structure is given.

We define the sectional curvature for a statistical structure, and study CR submanifolds in a holomorphic statistical manifold of constant holomorphic sectional curvature. We prove that this sectional curvature of such a space vanishes if it admits a totally-umbilical and dual-totally-umbilical generic submanifold. Furthermore, we show that a Lagrangian submanifold is of constant sectional curvature if the statistical shape operator and its dual operator commute. Similarly, we generalize several theorems in the classical CR submanifold theory.

Projective surfaces and pre-normalized Blaschke immersions of codimension two,
Int. Electron. J. Geom. 9(2016), 100--110.

We prove that any non-degenerate surface in the projective 3-space has a local lift as a minimal pre-normalized Blaschke immersion into the equicentroaffine 4-space. Furthermore, an indefinite surface in the projective 3-space has a local lift as a pre-normalized Blaschke immersion into the equicentroaffine 4-space satisfying the Einstein condition if and only if the surface is projectively applicable to an affine sphere.

The condition for the curvature of a statistical manifold to admit a kind of standard hypersurface is given as a first step of the statistical submanifold theory. A complex version of the notion of statistical structures is also introduced.

Furuhata H.and Vrancken, L.;
The center map of an affine immersion,
Results Math. 49(2006), 201--217.

We study the center map of an equiaffine immersion which is introduced using the equiaffine support function. The center map is a constant map if and only if the hypersurface is an equiaffine sphere. We investigate those immersions for which the center map is affine congruent with the original hypersurface. In terms of centroaffine geometry, we show that such hypersurfaces provide examples of hypersurfaces with vanishing centroaffine Tchebychev operator. We also characterize them in equiaffine differential geometry using a curvature condition involving the covariant derivative of the shape operator. From both approaches, assuming the dimension is 2 and the surface is definite, a complete classification follows.

We prove a classification of isometric pluriharmonic immersions of a Kaehler manifold into a semi-Euclidean space, which establishes a generalization of Calabi-Lawson's theory concerning minimal surfaces in Euclidean spaces. Then we study these immersions for complete Kaehler manifolds with low codimensions, and prove, in particular, a cylinder theorem and a Bernstein property. Moreover, we construct new examples of isometric pluriharmonic immersions.
