Funk metric on Weil-Petersson spaces (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
We discuss the Funk function $F(x; y)$ on a Teichmuller space with the Weil-Petersson metric introduced by Yamada, $F(x; y)$ is an asymmetric distance and invariant by the action of the mapping class group. The Funk metric was originally studied for an open convex subset in a Euclidean space by Funk. Its symmetrization is the Hilbert metric.
