Abstract: The Hilbert distance is a canonical distance defined in any bounded convex domain in R^n, that is invariant under any projective transformation. In this talk I plan to cover some basic facts and discuss some recent results. In particular we shall give some characterization of polytopes via their Hilbert metric, we will also discuss some dynamical aspects and some relation with projective structures on manifolds.
