Global differential geometry of Finsler spaces and generalizations (areal metrics) (53C60)

Abstract: We consider Hilbert and Funk geometries on a strongly convex domain in the Euclidean space. We show that, with respect to the Lebesgue measure on the domain, Hilbert (resp. Funk) metric has the bounded (resp. constant negative) weighted Ricci curvature. As one of corollaries, these metric measure spaces satisfy the curvature-dimension condition in the sense of Lott, Sturm and Villani.

Review text

The Hilbert and Funk metrics are important examples of Finsler metrics and have many important applications in other fields. In this paper, the author considers the weighted Ricci curvature of these metrics. Weighted Ricci curvature was introduced by the author in a previous paper [Calc. Var. Partial Differ. Equ. 36, No. 2, 211--249 (2009; Zbl 1175.49044)], and has interesting applications in analysis and geometry. It is shown that the Hilbert and Funk metrics have respectively bounded and constant negative weighted Ricci curvature, with respect to the Lesbegue measure on the domain where the metric is defined.
