Convexes hyperboliques et fonctions quasisymétriques

Yves Benoist (2003)

Publications Mathématiques de l'IHÉS

Every bounded convex open set Ω of Rm is endowed with its Hilbert metric dΩ. We give a necessary and sufficient condition, called quasisymmetric convexity, for this metric space to be hyperbolic. As a corollary, when the boundary is real analytic, Ω is always hyperbolic. In dimension 2, this condition is: in affine coordinates, the boundary ∂Ω is locally the graph of a C1 strictly convex function whose derivative is quasisymmetric.

Convexity estimates for flows by powers of the mean curvature

Felix Schulze (2006)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We study the evolution of a closed, convex hypersurface in n + 1 in direction of its normal vector, where the speed equals a power k 1 of the mean curvature. We show that if initially the ratio of the biggest and smallest principal curvatures at every point is close enough to 1 , depending only on k and n , then this is maintained under the flow. As a consequence we obtain that, when rescaling appropriately as the flow contracts to a point, the evolving surfaces converge to the unit sphere.

Convexity on the space of Kähler metrics

Bo Berndtsson (2013)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

These are the lecture notes of a minicourse given at a winter school in Marseille 2011. The aim of the course was to give an introduction to recent work on the geometry of the space of Kähler metrics associated to an ample line bundle. The emphasis of the course was the role of convexity, both as a motivating example and as a tool.
