A note on harmonic maps of statistical manifolds
Abstract
We show an existence and uniqueness result for a class of maps from a flat statistical manifold into a Riemannian manifold in a given homotopy class when the target Riemannian manifold is of negative sectional curvature under a global topological non-triviality condition. We also show that due to dualistic structure of the domain manifold the result is still valid in dual coordinates.
