Strongly Dense Representations of Hyperbolic 3-Manifold Groups

Geometric Topology 2024-01-17 v1

Abstract

We provide the first examples of strongly dense representations of a hyperbolic 3-manifold group into SL(4,R)SL(4,\mathbb{R}) and SU(3,1)SU(3,1) i.e. representations where every pair of non-commuting elements has Zariski dense image. Our examples are holonomy representations arising from projective deformations of its hyperbolic structure. As a Corollary, we get that SL(4,R)SL(4,\mathbb{R}) has non-Hitchin strongly dense surface subgroups.
