DESCRIPTION:Marc Troyanov (EPFL)\nGeometry and Dynamics SeminarAbstract: T
 he Hilbert distance is a canonical distance defined in any bounded convex 
 domain in  R^n\, that is invariant under any projective transformation. I
 n this talk I plan to cover some basic facts and discuss some recent resul
 ts. In particular we shall give some characterization of  polytopes via t
 heir Hilbert metric\, we will also discuss some dynamical aspects and some
  relation with projective structures on manifolds.
