Geometrization of purely hyperbolic representations in $\text{PSL}_2\Bbb R$

Abstract

Let SS be a surface of genus gg at least 22. A representation ρ:π1SPSL2R\rho:\pi_1S\longrightarrow \text{PSL}_2\Bbb R is said to be purely hyperbolic if its image consists only of hyperbolic elements other than the identity. We may wonder under which conditions such representations arise as holonomy of a hyperbolic cone-structure on SS. In this work we will characterize them completely, giving necessary and sufficient conditions.
