Abstract

We define for every positive Anosov representation of a nonabelian free group into SO(2n,2n1)\mathrm{SO}(2n,2n-1) a family of R4n1\mathbb{R}^{4n-1}-valued cocycles which induce proper affine actions on R4n1\mathbb{R}^{4n-1}. We construct fundamental domains in R4n1\mathbb{R}^{4n-1} bounded by generalized crooked planes for these affine actions, and deduce that the quotient manifolds are homeomorphic to handlebodies.
