Abstract: Real convex projective geometry generalizes hyperbolic geometry in a way that allows for interesting deformation theory and also aspects of non-positive curvature. In this talk I will introduce convex projective geometry, and we will discuss a natural decomposition of compact convex projective manifolds along their codimension-1 flat substructures. This extends a celebrated 2006 result of Benoist: a 'geometric JSJ-decomposition' for compact convex projective 3-manifolds to manifolds of every dimension (greater than 2).
