Abstract

Let ΓPSL(2,R)\Gamma\subset \mathsf{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R}) be a lattice and ρ:ΓSp(2n,R)\rho:\Gamma\to \mathsf{Sp}(2n,\mathbb{R}) be a maximal representation. We show that ρ\rho satisfies a measurable (1,1,2)(1,1,2)-hypertransversality condition. With this we define a measurable Gromov product and the Bowen-Margulis-Sullivan measure associated to the unstable Jacobian introduced by Pozzetti, Sambarino and Wienhard. As a main application, we prove a strong entropy rigidity result for ρ\rho.
