On any convex domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$ we can define the Hilbert metric. A projective transformation is an example of an isometry of the Hilbert metric. In this thesis we will prove that the group of projective transformations on a convex…

Symmetric cones can be endowed with at least two interesting non Riemannian metrics: the Hilbert and the Thompson metrics. It is trivial that the linear maps preserving the cone are isometries for those two metrics. Oddly enough those are…

It is known that complementary oblique projections $\hat{P}_0 + \hat{P}_1 = I$ on a Hilbert space $\mathscr{H}$ have the same standard operator norm $\|\hat{P}_0\| = \|\hat{P}_1\|$ and the same singular values, but for the multiplicity of…

We study the metric projection onto the closed convex cone in a real Hilbert space $\mathscr{H}$ generated by a sequence $\mathcal{V} = \{v_n\}_{n=0}^\infty$. The first main result of this paper provides a sufficient condition under which…

The Hilbert manifold $\Sigma$ consisting of positive invertible (unitized) Hilbert-Schmidt operators has a rich structure and geometry. The geometry of unitary orbits $\Omega\subset \Sigma$ is studied from the topological and metric…

The Hilbert transform is essentially the \textit{only} singular operator in one dimension. This undoubtedly makes it one of the the most important linear operators in harmonic analysis. The Hilbert transform has had a profound bearing on…

The Hilbert metric on convex subsets of $\mathbb R^n$ 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…

If $K$ and $L$ are mutually dual closed convex cones in a Hilbert space with the metric projections onto them denoted by $P_K$ and $P_L$ respectively, then the following two assertions are equivalent: (i) $P_K$ is isotone with respect to…

We continue the investigation of analytic spaces from the perspective of computable structure theory. We show that if $p \geq 1$ is a computable real, and if $\Omega$ is a nonzero, non-atomic, and separable measure space, then every…

Utilizing the linking algebra of a Hilbert $C^*$-module $\big(\mathscr{V}, {\|\!\cdot\!\|}\big)$, we introduce $\Omega(x)$ as a definition of numerical radius for an element $x\in\mathscr{V}$ and then show that $\Omega(\cdot)$ is a norm on…

Let L be a holomorphic line bundle over a compact complex projective Hermitian manifold X. Any fixed smooth hermitian metric h on L induces a Hilbert space structure on the space of global holomorphic sections with values in the k th tensor…

Let $H$ be a Hilbert space and $(\Omega,\mathcal{F},\mu)$ a probability space. A Hilbert point in $L^p(\Omega; H)$ is a nontrivial function $\varphi$ such that $\|\varphi\|_p \leq \|\varphi+f\|_p$ whenever $\langle f, \varphi \rangle = 0$.…

In this note, we define a bounded variant on the Hilbert projective metric on an infinite dimensional space $E$ and study the contraction properties of the projective maps associated with positive linear operators on $E$. More precisely, we…

It is shown that for every measure $m$ on projections in a $W^*$-algebra of type $I_2$, there exists a Hilbert-valued orthogonal vector measure $\mu$ such that $\|\mu(p)\|^2= m(p)$ for every projection $p$. With regard to J. Hamhalter's…

We consider modules $M$ over Lie algebroids ${\mathfrak g}_A$ which are of finite type over a local noetherian ring $A$. Using ideals $J\subset A$ such that ${\mathfrak g}_A \cdot J\subset J $ and the length $\ell_{{\mathfrak g}_A}(M/JM)<…

The moduli space of convex projective structures on a simplicial hyperbolic Coxeter orbifold is either a point or the real line. Answering a question of M. Crampon, we prove that in the latter case, when one goes to infinity in the moduli…

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 introduce a distance in the space of fully-supported probability measures on one-dimensional symbolic spaces. We compare this distance to the $\bar{d}$-distance and we prove that in general they are not comparable. Our projective…

Let $X$ be a complex manifold and let $g$ be a polyhedral metric on it inducing its topology. We say that $g$ is a polyhedral K\"ahler (PK) metric on $X$ if it is K\"ahler outside its singular set. The local geometry of PK metrics is…

We prove a functional identity between the Hilbert metric and the visual angle metric in the unit disk. The proof utilizes the Poincar\'e hyperbolic metric in terms of which both metrics can be expressed. This identity then yields sharp…
