Abstract: We survey the Hilbert geometry of convex polytopes. In particular we present two important characterisations of these geometries, the first one in terms of the volume growth of their metric balls, the second one as a bi-lipschitz class of the simplexe's geometry.

Review text

This book consists of contributions from different authors. However, it is not a collection of proceedings, it rather adds up to a genuine introduction into the field of Hilbert geometry. The first part is dedicated to the concept of Minkowski, Hilbert and Funk geometries. It eventually leads characterizations of hyperbolic geometry among Hilbert geometries. Part 2 is on `Groups and dynamics in Hilbert geometry'. Part 3 deals with developments and applications, ending with a contribution by Papadopoulos and Yamada on Funk and Hilbert geometries in spaces of constant curvature. Finally, Part 4 is a short glimpse on the history of the field, shedding some light on the origin of Hilbert geometry. This neatly and carefully written monograph intends to be a comprehensive introduction into Hilbert geometry. And, in fact, it does live up to this intention. The different points of view contributed by different authors add up to a rounded picture of the subject.
