Rodríguez's half-integer curvature conjecture for binary Bayesian networks
Rodríguez's half-integer curvature conjecture for binary Bayesian networks
Let a bitnet be a binary Bayesian network equipped with its Fisher information metric, and let denote its volume-averaged Ricci scalar. Rodríguez's conjecture. For any bitnet with Fisher information metric,
The paper resolves the conjecture only partially: it proves the claim for tree-structured and complete-graph bitnets, but disproves it in general by exhibiting loop counterexamples, including a double-collider network with .
