Simple root flows for Hitchin representations

Differential Geometry 2017-11-28 v2 Geometric Topology

Abstract

We study simple root flows and Liouville currents for Hitchin representations. We show that the Liouville current is associated to the measure of maximal entropy for a simple root flow, derive a Liouville volume rigidity result, and construct a Liouville pressure metric on the Hitchin component.
