Abstract/Media

The Hilbert metric on a bounded convex set $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^2$ determines an area 2-form on $\Omega$. One of the coordinates used by Fock and Goncharov assigns to an ideal triangle $T\subset\Omega$ a shape parameter $t >0$. We obtain a lower bound for the area of $T$ in terms of $t$.
