We show in this paper that every domain in a separable Hilbert space, say $\cH$, which has a $C^2$ smooth strongly pseudoconvex boundary point at which an automorphism orbit accumulates is biholomorphic to the unit ball of $\cH$. This is…

Let (M,g) be a Riemannian manifold with an isometric action of the Lie group G. Let g_G be a left invariant metric on G. Consider the diagonal G action on the product $M \times G$ with the metric g+g_G. In this paper we calculate the…

We show that a geodesic metric space is hyperbolic in the sense of Gromov if and only if intersections of balls have bounded eccentricity. In particular, $\R$-trees are characterized among geodesic metric spaces by the property that the…

We compare a Gromov hyperbolic metric with the hyperbolic metric in the unit ball or in the upper half space, and prove sharp comparison inequalities between the Gromov hyperbolic metric and some hyperbolic type metrics. We also obtain…

Hilbert space combines the properties of two fundamentally different types of mathematical spaces: vector space and metric space. While the vector-space aspects of Hilbert space, such as formation of linear combinations of state vectors,…

We investigate several topics of triangle geometry in the elliptic and in the extended hyperbolic plane, such as: centers based on orthogonality, centers related to circumcircles and incircles, radical centers and centers of similitude,…

Let $G \subsetneq \mathbb{R}^n$ be a domain and let $d_1$ and $d_2$ be two metrics on $G$. We compare the geometries defined by the two metrics to each other for several pairs of metrics. The metrics we study include the distance ratio…

Lattices and periodic point sets are well known objects from discrete geometry. They are also used in crystallography as one of the models of atomic structure of periodic crystals. In this paper we study the embedding properties of spaces…

We find bounds on the Hilbert space compression of the limit of a directed metric system of groups. We also give estimates on the Hilbert space compression of group extensions of a group $H$ by a a word-hyperbolic group or a group of…

We study the Hilbert geometry induced by the Siegel disk domain, an open bounded convex set of complex square matrices of operator norm strictly less than one. This Hilbert geometry yields a generalization of the Klein disk model of…

We describe a method of defining a Hermitian metric on Kobayashi hyperbolic manifolds. The metric is distance decreasing under holomorphic mappings, up to a multiplicative constant. This method is distinct from the classical construction of…

We construct new examples of complete Einstein metrics on balls. At each point of the boundary at infinity, the metric is asymptotic to a homogeneous Einstein metric on a solvable group, which varies with the point at infinity.

A new distance function $\tilde{S}_{G,c}$ in metric space $(X,d)$ is introduced as \begin{align*} &\tilde{S}_{G,c}(x,y)=\log{\left(1+\frac{cd(x,y)}{\sqrt{1+d(x)}\sqrt{1+d(y)}}\right)} \end{align*} for $x$, $y\in X$ and $c$ is an arbitrary…

We investigate the horofunction boundary of the Hilbert geometry defined on an arbitrary finite-dimensional bounded convex domain D. We determine its set of Busemann points, which are those points that are the limits of `almost-geodesics'.…

In this article, we consider the ball model of an infinite dimensional complex hyperbolic space, i.e. the open unit ball of a complex Hilbert space centered at the origin equipped with the Caratheodory metric. We consider the group of…

Given a domain $G \subsetneq \Rn$ we study the quasihyperbolic and the distance ratio metrics of $G$ and their connection to the corresponding metrics of a subdomain $D \subset G$. In each case, distances in the subdomain are always larger…
