Abstract

We extend classical results of Bridgeman-Taylor and McMullen on the Hessian of the Hausdorff dimension on quasi-Fuchsian space to the class of (1,1,2)-hyperconvex representations, a class introduced in arXiv:1902.01303 which includes small complex deformations of Hitchin representations and of Θ\Theta-positive representations. We also prove that the Hessian of the Hausdorff dimension of the limit set at the inclusion ΓPO(n,1)PU(n,1)\Gamma\to PO(n,1) \to PU(n,1) is positive definite when Γ\Gamma is co-compact in PO(n,1)PO(n,1) (unless n=2n=2 and the deformation is tangent to X(Γ,PO(2,1))).\mathfrak{X}(\Gamma,PO(2,1))).
