Fiber bundles associated with Anosov representations
Abstract
Anosov representations of a hyperbolic group into a semisimple Lie group are known to admit cocompact domains of discontinuity in flag varieties , endowing the compact quotient manifolds with a -structure. In general the topology of can be quite complicated. In this article, we consider the case when is the fundamental group of a closed (real or complex) hyperbolic manifold and is a deformation of a (twisted) lattice embedding through Anosov representations. We prove that, in this situation, is alway a smooth fiber bundle over . Determining the topology of the fiber seems hard in general. The second part of the paper focuses on the special case when is a surface, a quasi-Hitchin representation into , and is modelled on the space of complex Lagrangians in . We show that, in this case, the fiber is homeomorphic to .
