Finitude géométrique en géométrie de Hilbert + an erratum/addendum

The paper is divided in 2 parts. The first part is the original paper of the second and third authors arXiv:1202.5442v2. The second part is an erratum/addendum written in english and concatenated at the end of the former paper. In the erratum/addentum, we amend Theorems 1.3 and 1.11 of arXiv:1202.5442v2: Finitude géométrique en géométrie de Hilbert. We seize the opportunity to show that in round Hilbert geometry, geometrical finiteness (gf) is equivalent to cusp-uniform action and to fill some small gaps that appear in two other proofs of arXiv:1202.5442v2.

Le flot géodésique des quotients geometriquement finis des géométries de Hilbert

We study the geodesic flow of geometrically finite quotients $Ω/Γ$ of Hilbert geometries, in particular its recurrence properties. We prove that, under a geometrical assumption on the cusps, the geodesic flow is uniformly hyperbolic. Without this assumption, we provide an example of a quotient whose geodesic flow has a zero Lyapunov exponent. We make the link between the dynamics of the geodesic flow and some properties of the convex set $Ω$ and the group $Γ$. As a consequence, we get various rigidity results which extend previous results of Benoist and Guichard for compact quotients. Finally, we study the link between volume entropy and critical exponent; for example, we show that they coincide provided the quotient has finite volume.

Un lemme de Kazhdan-Margulis-Zassenhaus pour les géométries de Hilbert

We prove a Kazhdan-Margulis-Zassenhaus lemma for Hilbert geometries. More precisely, in every dimension $n$ there exists a constant $\varepsilon_n > 0$ such that, for any properly open convex set $Ø$ and any point $x \in Ø$, any discrete group generated by a finite number of automorphisms of $Ø$, which displace $x$ at a distance less than $\varepsilon_n$, is virtually nilpotent.

Laplacian and spectral gap in regular Hilbert geometries

We study the spectrum of the Finsler--Laplace operator for regular Hilbert geometries, defined by convex sets with $C^2$ boundaries. We show that for an $n$-dimensional geometry, the spectral gap is bounded above by $(n-1)^2/4$, which we prove to be the infimum of the essential spectrum. We also construct examples of convex sets with arbitrarily small eigenvalues.

Lyapunov exponents in Hilbert geometry

We study the behaviour of a Hilbert geometry when going to infinity along a geodesic line. We prove that all the information is contained in the shape of the boundary at the endpoint of this geodesic line and have to introduce a regularity property of convex functions to make this link precise. The point of view is a dynamical one and the main interest of this article is in Lyapunov exponents of the geodesic flow.

Entropies of compact strictly convex projective manifolds

Let M be a compact manifold of dimension n with a strictly convex projective structure. We consider the geodesic flow of the Hilbert metric on it, which is known to be Anosov. We prove that its topological entropy is less than n-1, with equality if and only if the structure is Riemannian, that is hyperbolic. As a corollary, we get that the volume entropy of a divisible strictly convex set is less than n-1, with equality if and only if it is an ellipsoid.
