Convex bodies and geometry of some associated Minkowski functionals (日本語)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk, we will investigate the construction of so-called Hilbert metric, as well as Funk metric, defined on convex set from a new variational viewpoint. The local and global aspects of the geometry of the resulting Minkowski functionals will be contrasted. As an application, some remarks on the Perron-Frobenius theorem will be made. Part of the project is a joint work with Athanase Papadopoulos (Strasbourg).
