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…
Inclusion properties are studied for balls of the triangular ratio metric, the hyperbolic metric, the $j^*$-metric, and the distance ratio metric defined in the unit ball domain. Several sharp results are proven and a conjecture about the…
On any proper convex domain in real projective space there exists a natural Riemannian metric, the Blaschke metric. On the other hand, distances between points can be measured in the Hilbert metric. Using techniques of optimal control, we…
The connection between several hyperbolic type metrics is studied in subdomains of the Euclidean space. In particular, a new metric is introduced and compared to the distance ratio metric.
A new intrinsic metric called $t$-metric is introduced. Several sharp inequalities between this metric and the most common hyperbolic type metrics are proven for various domains $G\subsetneq\mathbb{R}^n$. The behaviour of the new metric is…
Three hyperbolic type metrics including the triangular ratio metric, the $j^*$-metric and the M\"obius metric are studied in an annular ring. The Euclidean midpoint rotation is introduced as a method to create upper and lower bounds for…
Let $\Omega$ be a bounded, convex domain in a separable Hilbert space. The authors prove a version of the theorem of Bun Wong, which asserts that if such a domain admits an automorphism orbit accumulating at a strongly pseudoconvex boundary…
Inclusion relations of metric balls defined by the hyperbolic, the quasihyperbolic, the $j$-metric and the chordal metric will be studied. The hyperbolic metric, the quasihyperbolic metric and the $j$-metric are considered in the unit ball.
Hyperbolic metric and different hyperbolic type metrics are studied in open sector domains of the complex plane. Several sharp inequalities are proven for them. Our main result describes the behavior of the triangular ratio metric under…
The distortion of six different intrinsic metrics and quasi-metrics under conformal and quasiregular mappings is studied in a few simple domains $G\subsetneq\mathbb{R}^n$. The already known inequalities between the hyperbolic metric and…
The M\"obius metric $\delta_G$ is studied in the cases where its domain $G$ is an open sector of the complex plane. We introduce upper and lower bounds for this metric in terms of the hyperbolic metric and the angle of the sector, and then…
In this paper we investigate the Gromov hyperbolicity of the classical Kobayashi and Hilbert metrics, and the recently introduced minimal metric. Using the linear isoperimetric inequality characterization of Gromov hyperbolicity, we show if…
We study local convexity properties of the triangular ratio metric balls in proper subdomains of the real coordinate space. We also study inclusion properties of the visual angle metric balls and related hyperbolic type metric balls in the…
We define metrics in space that are natural counterparts of the hyperbolic metric in plane domains, using the characterization of the hyperbolic metric due to Beardon and Pommerenke. We obtain inequalities for these metrics under…
The goal of this paper is to introduce and study analogues of the Euclidean Funk and Hilbert metrics on open convex subsets $\Omega$ of hyperbolic or spherical spaces. At least at a formal level, there are striking similarities among the…
We study inequalities between the hyperbolic metric and intrinsic metrics in convex polygonal domains in the complex plane. Special attention is paid to the triangular ratio metric in rectangles. A local study leads to an investigation of…
It is shown that the Hilbert metric on the interior of a convex polytope is bilipschitz to a normed vector space of the same dimension.
The cognitive framework of conceptual spaces [3] provides geometric means for representing knowledge. A conceptual space is a high-dimensional space whose dimensions are partitioned into so-called domains. Within each domain, the Euclidean…
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…
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…
