Outline of Final Research Achievements

(1) We defined the normalized geometric mean of two positive probability measures. By using this notion, we found that there exists the unique geodesic segment joining arbitrary two probability measures. Moreover, we showed that a geodesic segment belongs entirely to a fiber of the barycenter map on a Hadamard manifold, if and only if endpoints of the geodesic and its normalized geometric mean belong same fiber.
(2) We obtained some properties of geodesics with respect to alpha-connection on the space of all probability measures with positive density function.
(3) We defined a class of Harmonic manifolds of hypergeometric type and we developed the theory of the spherical Fourier transform on a Hadamard harmonic manifold which is of hypergeometric type.
