Conditional Rényi entropy and the relationships between Rényi capacities

Abstract: The analogues of Arimoto's definition of conditional R\'enyi entropy and R\'enyi mutual information are explored for abstract alphabets. These quantities, although dependent on the reference measure, have some useful properties similar to those known in the discrete setting. In addition to laying out some such basic properties and the relations to R\'enyi divergences, the relationships between the families of mutual informations defined by Sibson, Augustin-Csisz\'ar, and Lapidoth-Pfister, as well as the corresponding capacities, are explored.
