Abstract

Let ΓPGL(d,R)\Gamma\subset \mathsf{PGL}(d,\mathbb{R}) be an irreducible projective Anosov subgroup and let Λ1(Γ)\Lambda^1(\Gamma) be its projective limit set. Viewing Λ1(Γ)\Lambda^1(\Gamma) as an analogue of a self-affine set, we investigate the Hausdorff dimension of Λ1(Γ)\Lambda^1(\Gamma) under specific assumptions regarding its affine complexity: 1. If Λ1(Γ)\Lambda^1(\Gamma) is of full Hausdorff dimension, then d=2d= 2 and Γ\Gamma is a cocompact lattice. 2. If d=3d = 3 and Γ\Gamma is the image of a closed surface group under an irreducible Anosov representation, then Λ1(Γ)\Lambda^1(\Gamma) never has Hausdorff dimension 11 unless the representation is Hitchin. 3. If the limit set Λ1(Γ)\Lambda^1(\Gamma) exhibits a partial quasi-self-similarity (in the sense of Falconer~\cite{falconerselfsimilar1}) -- which can be implied by the ``regular distortion property'' of Γ\Gamma -- then the Hausdorff dimension of Λ1(Γ)\Lambda^1(\Gamma) equals the critical exponent of the first simple root. An application of this result is the computation of the Hausdorff dimension of the limit set for arbitrary Θ\Theta-positive representations of convex cocompact Fuchsian groups.
