Abstract: Recently, a method to dynamically define a divergence function $D$ for a given statistical manifold $(mathcalM,,g,,T)$ by means of the Hamilton-Jacobi theory associated with a suitable Lagrangian function $mathfrakL$ on $TmathcalM$ has been proposed. Here we will review this construction and lay the basis for an inverse problem where we assume the divergence function $D$ to be known and we look for a Lagrangian function $mathfrakL$ for which $D$ is a complete solution of the associated Hamilton-Jacobi theory. To apply these ideas to quantum systems, we have to replace probability distributions with probability amplitudes.
