Hessian metrics and ricci solitons

As it well known, Riemannian manifolds are very useful tools for practical problems. To give some examples, we underline their utilization in economic theory, in system modeling and optimization or to statistical theory. That is why they are intenively studied by famous scientist in the world. Contenents 1. Hessian type of structure on pseudo-Reimannian manifolds 2. Hessian structures via invariant calculus 3.
