Hilbert metric, beyond convexity

Metric Geometry 2022-03-25 v1

Abstract

The Hilbert metric on convex subsets of Rn\mathbb R^n has proven a rich notion and has been extensively studied. We propose here a generalization of this metric to subset of complex projective spaces and give examples of applications to diverse fields. Basic examples include the classical Hilbert metric which coincides with the hyperbolic metric on real hyperbolic spaces as well as the complex hyperbolic metric on complex hyperbolic spaces.
