Epstein-Poincar\'e surfaces for $G-$opers

Differential Geometry 2026-02-03 v2 Geometric Topology

Abstract

Given a complex, simple Lie group GG of adjoint type, we introduce the notion of an Epstein-Poincar\'e surface associated to a GG-oper. These surfaces generalize Epstein's classical construction for G=PGL2(C)G=PGL_2 (\mathbb{C}). As an application, we provide a criterion that ensures that the holonomy of the oper is Δ\Delta-Anosov. Finally, we discuss how the developing map of the oper interacts with domains of discontinuity of the holonomy (whenever Anosov) and the transversality properties it satisfies. Along the way, we provide a quick review of opers that we hope serves as a self-contained introduction.
