Finite volume convex projective surface

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: A convex projective surface is the quotient of a properly convex open Omega of mathbbP(R) by a discret subgroup Gamma of mathrmSL3(R). We give some caracterisations of the fact that a convex projective surface is of finite volume for the Busemann's measure. We deduce of this that if Omega is not a triangle then Omega is strictly convex, with Cc1 boundary and that a convex projective surface S is of finite volume if and only if the dual surface is of finite volume.


This paper studies convex projective surfaces, i.e.~quotients of properly convex open subsets \(\Omega\) of the real projective plane by discrete subgroups of \(\mathrm{SL}_3(\mathbb{R})\). While much classical work is concerned with cocompact groups, the focus of the paper under review is on groups of finite covolume (with respect to the Busemann measure.)NEWLINENEWLINESeveral characterizations of the finite volume condition are given. As a consequence, it is proved that if \(\Omega\) is not a triangle, then it is strictly convex and has \(\mathcal{C}^1\) boundary. Another result is that a convex projective surface has finite volume if and only if its dual surface has finite volume.
