On a convex body in a Euclidean space, we introduce a new variational formulation for its Funk metric, a Finsler metric compatible with the tautological Finsler structure of the convex body. We generalize the metric on Teichmuller spaces…
We define the notion of weak Minkowski metric and prove some basic properties of such metrics. We also highlight some of the important analogies between Minkowski geometry and the Funk and Hilbert geometries.
We survey some basic geometric properties of the Funk metric of a convex set in $\mathbb{R}^n$. In particular, we study its geodesics, its topology, its metric balls, its convexity properties, its perpendicularity theory and its isometries.…
David Hilbert discovered in 1895 an important metric that is canonically associated to any convex domain $\Omega$ in the Euclidean (or projective) space. This metric is known to be Finslerian, and the usual proof assumes a certain degree of…
We introduce a notion of weak convergence in arbitrary metric spaces. Metric functionals are key in our analysis: weak convergence of sequences in a given metric space is tested against all the metric functionals defined on said space. When…
A Finsler metric is geodesically reversible if geodesics remain geodesics after a change of orientation. Asymmetric norms on vector spaces and Funk metrics in the interior of convex bodies are examples of geodesically reversible metrics…
The goal of this short paper is to give condition for the completeness of the Binet-Legendre metric in Finsler geometry. The case of the Funk and Hilbert metrics in a convex domain are discussed.
Finite metric spaces are the object of study in many data analysis problems. We examine the concept of weak isometry between finite metric spaces, in order to analyse properties of the spaces that are invariant under strictly increasing…
In this short note, we prove that if $F$ is a weak upper semicontinuous admissible Finsler structure on a domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 2$, then the intrinsic distance and differential structures coincide.
A weak metric on a set is a function that satisfies the axioms of a metric except the symmetry and the separation axioms. In the present paper we introduced a weak metric, called the Apollonian weak metric, on any subset of a Euclidean…
The development of projective invariant Weyl metrics in this paper offers a fresh perspective, as we establish the characteristics of both weakly-Weyl and generalized weakly-Weyl Finsler metrics. We thoroughly examine the connections…
The current paper deals with some new classes of Finsler metrics with reversible geodesics. We construct weighted quasi-metrics associated with these metrics. Further, we investigate some important geometric properties of weighted…
In this paper, we answer some natural questions on symmetrisation and more general combinations of Finsler metrics, with a view towards applications to Funk and Hilbert geometries and to metrics on Teichm{\"u}ller spaces. For a general…
We investigate the relation between weighted quasi-metric Spaces and Finsler Spaces. We show that the induced metric of a Randers space with reversible geodesics is a weighted quasi-metric space.
In this article we study convexity properties of distance functions in infinite dimensional Finsler unitary groups, such as the full unitary group, the unitary Schatten perturbations of the identity and unitary groups of finite von Neumann…
For a standard Finsler metric F on a manifold M, its domain is the whole tangent bundle TM and its fundamental tensor g is positive-definite. However, in many cases (for example, the well-known Kropina and Matsumoto metrics), these two…
Two approaches to Lipschitz structures for any set are presented, studied and compared. The first approach is similar to the one proposed in Fraser, Jr. R. B., Axiom systems for Lipschitz structures, Fundamenta Mathematicae, (1970), where…
This paper addresses problems in functional metric geometry that arise in the study of data such as signals recorded on geometric domains or on the nodes of weighted networks. Datasets comprising such objects arise in many domains of…
Here, it is introduced a concept of convolution metric in Finslerian Geometry. This convolution metric is a kind of function obtained by a given mathematical operation between two Finslerian metrics. Some basic properties of the Finslerian…
Weak convergence of probability measures is one of the most important topics in the field probability and statistics. In this survey paper, we look at weak convergence of probability measures from the topological vector space point of view.…
