$Any open, properly convex domain $\Omega$ in $\R\P^n$ admits a Hilbertmetric, compatible with a Finsler norm. Of particular interest are compactquotients of $\Omega$ by discrete subgroups of $\PGL(n+1,\R)$. Thedynamical, topological, algebraic, and regularity properties of suchquotients with the line flow have been exhaustively studied by Benoist andothers in the case that $\Omega$ is strictly convex and consequently$\delta$-hyperbolic. My agenda is to expand previous studies to the convexbut not strictly convex case for $\Omega$. In this talk, I will introduce aclass of higher dimensional examples, constructed by Benoist, which exhibitsome hyperbolicity properties. I will explicitly describe the topologicaland ergodic dynamical properties of the line flow on the projectivetriangle, which plays a focal role as an obstruction to hyperbolicity inthe non-strictly convex examples of Benoist. I will assure you that weexpect this obstruction to be surmountable. http://sites.tufts.edu/poincare/meet-the-team/sarah-bray/ Sarah Bray[$
