A strictly convex real projective orbifold is equipped with a natural Finsler metric called the Hilbert metric. In the case that the projective structure is hyperbolic, the Hilbert metric and the hyperbolic metric coincide. We prove that the marked Hilbert length spectrum determines the projective structure only up to …

Theory developed for Hilbert geometry over valued fields, linking real and non-Archimedean geometries.
In the asymmetric setting, Hilbert's fourth problem asks to construct and study all (non-reversible) projective Finsler metrics: Finsler metrics defined on open, convex subsets of real projective -space for which geodesics lie on projective lines. While asymmetric norms and Funk metrics provide many examples of esse…
Optimal inequalities found between Riemannian and Hilbert metrics in convex projective domains.
Study Hilbert's projective metric for bounded growth functions leading to Sinkhorn's algorithm convergence.
We show that the volume entropy of the Hilbert metric on a closed convex projective surface tends to zero as the corresponding Pick differential tends to infinity. The proof is based on the theorem, due to Benoist and Hulin, that the Hilbert metric and Blaschke metric are comparable.
Study of hyperbolic directions in convex projective geometry.
Entropy study of geodesic flow on convex projective surfaces.
The well-known Funk metric F(x,y) is projectively flat with constant flag curvature K=-1/4 and the Hilbert metric H(x,y):=(F(x,y)+F(x,-y))/2 is projectively flat with constant curvature K=-1. These metrics are the special solutions to Hilbert's Fourth Problem. In this paper, we construct a non-trivial R-flat spray usin…
New findings on geometric flows and equidistribution in Hilbert geometry.
Hilbert's fourth problem asks for the construction and the study of metrics on subsets of projective space for which the projective line segments are geodesics. Several solutions of the problem were given so far, depending on more precise interpretations of this problem, with various additional conditions satisfied. Th…
Constructs stable Hilbert bundles on curves using Diophantine approximation.
In this paper we introduce in study the projectively related complex Finsler metrics. We prove the complex versions of the Rapcsák's theorem and characterize the weakly Kähler and generalized Berwald projectively related complex Finsler metrics. The complex version of Hilbert's Fourth Problem is also pointed out. As an…
We review some basic concepts related to convex real projective structures from the differential geometry point of view. We start by recalling a Riemannian metric which originates in the study of affine spheres using the Blaschke connection (work of Calabi and of Cheng-Yau) mentioning its relation with the Hilbert metr…
In Finsler geometry, there are infinitely many models of constant curvature. The Funk metrics, the Hilbert-Klein metrics and the Bryant metrics are projectively flat with non-zero constant curvature. A recent example constructed by the author is projectively flat with zero curvature. In this paper, we introduce a techn…
Study on stability of Einstein metrics on symmetric spaces.
A new metric HCP distance for comparing distributions.
In this paper we study a class of Finsler metrics defined by a Riemannian metric and an 1-form. We classify those of projectively flat in dimension by a special class of deformations. The results show that the projective flatness of such kind of Finsler metrics always arises from that of some Riemannian metric…
New metric defined for bounded symmetric domains.
This paper solves Hilbert's fourth problem for constant curvature metrics.
The analysis of classical consensus algorithms relies on contraction properties of adjoints of Markov operators, with respect to Hilbert's projective metric or to a related family of seminorms (Hopf's oscillation or Hilbert's seminorm). We generalize these properties to abstract consensus operators over normal cones, w…
A solution of Hilberts fourth problem lead to integral equation of the type generalized cosine transform. The present paper considers the solution that integral equation by integral geometry methods and propose an inversion formula for reconstruction of Crofton measures from projective smooth Finsler metrics in R3.
David Hilbert discovered in 1895 an important metric that is canonically associated to any convex domain in the Euclidean (or projective) space. This metric is known to be Finslerian, and the usual proof assumes a certain degree of smoothness of the boundary of and refers to a theorem by Busemann and Mayer that…
Study shows zero Pontrjagin classes for sprays.
It is the Hilbert's Fourth Problem to characterize the (not-necessarily-reversible) distance functions on a bounded convex domain in R^n such that straight lines are shortest paths. Distance functions induced by a Finsler metric are regarded as smooth ones. Finsler metrics with straight geodesics said to be projective.…
The goal of this paper is to introduce and study analogues of the Euclidean Funk and Hilbert metrics on open convex subsets of hyperbolic or spherical spaces. At least at a formal level, there are striking similarities among the three cases: Euclidean, spherical and hyperbolic. We start by defining non-Euclidean an…
We study the following problem: given an Einstein metric on a manifold, characterize and study all Einstein metrics which are pointwise projective to the given one. By definition, two metrics are said to be pointwise projectively related if they have the same geodesics as point sets. This is closely related to Hilbert'…
The moduli space of convex projective structures on a simplicial hyperbolic Coxeter orbifold is either a point or the real line. Answering a question of M. Crampon, we prove that in the latter case, when one goes to infinity in the moduli space, the entropy of the Hilbert metric tends to 0.

The Funk metric connects billiards, projective geometry, and convex geometry.
The paper extends geometric results from negatively-curved spaces to strictly convex Hilbert geometry.
A Riemannian metric is of constant curvature if and only if it is locally projectively flat. There are infinitely many locally projectively flat Finsler metrics of constant curvature, that are special solutions to the Hilbert's Fourth Problem. In this paper, we use the technique in the paper titled "Finsler metrics wit…
Abstract: Study of metrics on line bundles over complex varieties.
The study calculates the Smith-Thom deficiency of Hilbert squares and provides conditions for maximality.
In this paper, we introduce the notion of one form deformation of sprays. The metrizability of the new spray, when the background spray is flat, is characterized. Therefore, we obtain new projectively flat metrics of constant flag curvature . Moreover, these new metrics are not, generally, isometric to the Klein met…
The study connects Hilbert entropy to non-differentiability points of limit sets in flag spaces.
In this paper we study domains in flag manifolds which are bounded in an affine chart and whose projective automorphism group acts co-compactly. In contrast to the many examples in real projective space, we will show that no examples exist in many flag manifolds. Moreover, in the cases where such domains can exist, we …

Cyclic projections in Hadamard spaces can be irregular, unlike in Hilbert spaces.
The study confirms most Cantor sets are in general position for all projections.
The transition amplitudes between coherent states on a coherent state manifold are expressed in terms of the embedding of the coherent state manifold into a projective Hilbert space. Consequences for the dimension of projective Hilbert space and a simple geometric interpretation of Calabi's diastasis follows.
For a given Hilbert space , consider the space of self-adjoint projections . In this paper we study the differentiable structure of a canonical sphere bundle over given by $$ \mathcal R=\{\, (P,f)\in \mathcal P(\mathcal H)\times \mathcal H \, : \, Pf=f , \, \…
GOPO optimizes large models in Hilbert space, avoiding Kullback-Leibler's curvature.
We study a problem of the geometric quantization for the quaternion projective space. First we explain a Kaehler structure on the punctured cotangent bundle of the quaternion projective space, whose Kaehler form coincides with the natural symplectic form on the cotangent bundle and show that the canonical line bundle o…
Let M be a compact manifold of dimension n with a strictly convex projective structure. We consider the geodesic flow of the Hilbert metric on it, which is known to be Anosov. We prove that its topological entropy is less than n-1, with equality if and only if the structure is Riemannian, that is hyperbolic. As a corol…
