Abstract: In various statistical-mechanical models the introduction of a metric onto the space of parameters (e.g. the temperature variable, $$, and the external field variable, $h$, in the case of spin models) gives an alternative perspective on the phase structure. For the one-dimensional Ising model the scalar curvature, $calR$, of this metric can be calculated explicitly in the thermodynamic limit and is found to be $$. This is positive definite and, for physical fields and temperatures, diverges only at the zero-temperature, zero-field ``critical point of the model. In this note we calculate $calR$ for the one-dimensional $q$-state Potts model, finding an expression of the form $$, where $$ is the Potts analogue of $$. This is no longer positive definite, but once again it diverges only at the critical point in the space of real parameters. We remark, however, that a naive analytic continuation to complex field reveals a further divergence in the Ising and Potts curvatures at the Lee-Yang edge.
