A real projective orbifold is an $n$-dimensional orbifold modeled on $\mathbb{RP}^n$ with the group $PGL(n+1, \mathbb{R})$. We concentrate on an orbifold that contains a compact codimension $0$ submanifold whose complement is a union of…
There are several Teichm\"uller spaces associated to a surface of infinite topological type, after the choice of a particular basepoint (a complex or a hyperbolic structure on the surface). These spaces include the quasiconformal…
In this paper, we consider different types of non-positive curvature properties of the Hilbert metric of a convex domain in R^n. First, we survey the relationships among the concepts and prove that in the case of Hilbert metric some of them…
We find a compactification of the $\mathrm{SL}(3,\mathbb{R})$-Hitchin component by studying the degeneration of the Blaschke metrics on the associated equivariant affine spheres. In the process, we establish the closure in the space of…
We develop a notion of rank one properly convex domains (or Hilbert geometries) in the real projective space. This is in the spirit of rank one non-positively curved Riemannian manifolds and CAT(0) spaces. We define rank one isometries for…
We show that for certain sequences escaping to infinity in the $\operatorname{SL}_3\mathbb{R}$ Hitchin component, growth rates of trace functions are described by natural Finsler metrics. More specifically, as the Labourie-Loftin cubic…
We develop in detail the theory of c-projective geometry, a natural analogue of projective differential geometry adapted to complex manifolds. We realise it as a type of parabolic geometry and describe the associated Cartan or tractor…
A theorem of Wiegerinck asserts that the Bergman space of an open subset of the complex numbers is either infinite-dimensional or trivial. Recently, this has been generalized to holomorphic vector bundles over the projective line by the…
This work is concerned with the convex analysis of functions defined on (not necessarily finite-dimensional) Hilbert spaces whose values depend solely on a certain ``spectrum'' of the arguments, a class we term ``spectral functions.'' We…
The differential-geometric structure of the manifold of smooth shapes is applied to the theory of shape optimization problems. In particular, a Riemannian shape gradient with respect to the first Sobolev metric and the Steklov-Poincar\'{e}…
Building from ideas of hypercomplex analysis on the quaternionic unit ball, we introduce Hermitian, Riemannian and K\"ahler-like structures on the latter. These are built from the so-called regular M\"obius transformations. Such geometric…
In this paper, we extend the construction of pressure metrics to Teichm\"uller spaces of surfaces with punctures. This construction recovers Thurston's Riemannian metric on Teichm\"uller spaces. Moreover, we prove the real analyticity and…
In 2009 Gaiotto, Moore and Neitzke presented a new construction of hyperk\"{a}hler metrics on the total spaces of certain complex integrable systems, represented as a torus fibration $\mathcal{M}$ over a base space $\mathcal{B}$, except for…
We study the K\"ahler geometry of the classical Hurwitz space $\mathcal{H}^{n,b}$ of simple branched coverings of the Riemann sphere $\mathbb{P}^1$ by compact hyperbolic Riemann surfaces. A generalized Weil-Petersson metric on the Hurwitz…
We give some remarks on geodesics in the space of K\"ahler metrics that are defined for all time. Such curves are conjecturally induced by holomorphic vector fields, and we show that this is indeed so for regular geodesics, whereas the…
Given the unital C$^*$-algebra $A$, the unitary orbit of the projector $p_0=\begin{pmatrix}1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix}$ in the C$^*$-algebra $M_2(A)$ of $2\times 2$ matrices with coefficients in $A$ is called in this paper, the Riemann…
We explore connections furnished by the Funk metric, a relative of the Hilbert metric, between projective geometry, billiards, convex geometry and affine inequalities. We first show that many metric invariants of the Funk metric are…
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…
We search for Riemannian metrics whose Levi-Civita connection belongs to a given projective class. Following Sinjukov and Mikes, we show that such metrics correspond precisely to suitably positive solutions of a certain projectively…
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…
