HILBERT GEOMETRIES, DIVISIBLE DOMAINS AND HYPERBOLICITY

Hilbert geometries have been introduced as a generalization of hyperbolic geometry, and provide a family of metric spaces where the Euclidean straight lines are geodesics. A Hilbert geometry is said to be divisible if it admits a group of isometries that acts cocompactly on the space. The aim of this talk is to introduce the class of divisible Hilbert geometries and to look at a characterization of hyperbolicity in this class.
