Geometrical aspects of a generalized statistical mechanics

Sumario:We discuss here the use of generalized forms of entropy, taken as information measures, to characterize phase transitions and critical behavior in thermodynamic systems. Our study is based on geometric considerations pertaining to the space of parameters that describe statistical mechanics models. The thermodynamics of the system is the focus of attention in this geometric context.
