Title: A Hilbert metric for bounded symmetric domains

Abstract: Bounded symmetric domains carry several natural invariant metrics, for example the Carath\'eodory, Kobayashi or the Bergman metric. We define another natural metric, from generalized Hilbert metric defined in [FGW20], by considering the Borel embedding of the domain as an open subset of its dual compact Hermitian symmetric space and then its Harish-Chandra realization in projective spaces. We describe this construction on the four classical families of bounded symmetric domains and compute both this metric and its associated Finsler metric. We compare it to Carath\'eodory and Bergman metrics and show that, except for the complex hyperbolic space, those metrics differ.
