DESCRIPTION:Corina Ciobotaru (Université de Fribourg)\nA real vector spac
 e V of dimension n admits various compactifications depending on the metri
 c that is considered on V. For example\, when V is endowed with the usual 
 Euclidean metric\, the corresponding compactification is V union with the 
 n-1 dimensional sphere. In a recent joint work with Linus Kramer and Petra
  Schwer we study the case of a (not necessarily symmetric) Finsler metric 
 d_F on V. By employing elementary results from model theory and ultraprodu
 cts of metric spaces we give an easy proof that the corresponding ''compac
 tification'' of (V\, d_F) is V union with the boundary of the dual polyhed
 ron associated with d_F.
