dc.descriptionThe aim of the paper is to extend the notion of $α$-geometry in the classical and in the noncommutative case by introducing a more general class of pull-back metrics and to give concrete formulas for the scalar curvature of these Riemannian manifolds. We introduce a more general class of pull-back metrics of the noncommutative state spaces, we pull back the Euclidean Riemannian metric of the space of self-adjoint matrices with functions which have an analytic extension to a neighborhood of the interval $]0,1[$ and whose derivative are nowhere zero. We compute the scalar curvature in this setting, and as a corollary we have the scalar curvature of the classical probability space when it is endowed with such a general pull-back metric. In the noncommutative setting we consider real and complex state spaces too. We give a simplification of Gibilisco's and Isola's conjecture for the first nontrivial classical probability space and we present the result of a numerical computation which indicate that the conjecture may be true for the space of real and complex qubits.
