We see fundamental properties of the log-determinant α-divergence including the convexity of weighted geometric mean and the reversed sub-additivity under tensor product. We introduce a symmetrized divergence and show its properties including the boundedness and monotonicity on parameters. Finally, we discuss the barycenter minimizing the weighted sum of symmetrized divergences.
