Abstract

Let Γ\Gamma be a non-elementary word hyperbolic group and da,a>1,d_{a}, a>1, a visual metric on its Gromov boundary Γ\partial_{\infty}\Gamma. For an 11-Anosov representation ρ:ΓGLd(K)\rho:\Gamma \rightarrow \mathsf{GL}_{d}(\mathbb{K}), where K=R\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{R} or C\mathbb{C}, we calculate the H\"older exponent of the Anosov limit map ξρ1:(Γ,da)(P(Kd),dP)\xi_{\rho}^1:(\partial_{\infty}\Gamma, d_{a})\rightarrow (\mathbb{P}(\mathbb{K}^d),d_{\mathbb{P}}) of ρ\rho in terms of the moduli of eigenvalues of elements in ρ(Γ)\rho(\Gamma) and the stable translation length on Γ\Gamma. If ρ\rho is either irreducible or ξρ1(Γ)\xi_{\rho}^1(\partial_{\infty}\Gamma) spans Kd\mathbb{K}^d and ρ\rho is {1,2}\{1,2\}-Anosov, then ξρ1\xi_{\rho}^1 attains its H\"older exponent. We also provide an analogous calculation for the exponent of the inverse limit map of (1,1,2)(1,1,2)-hyperconvex representations. Finally, we exhibit examples of non semisimple 11-Anosov representations of surface groups in SL4(R)\mathsf{SL}_4(\mathbb{R}) whose Anosov limit map in P(R4)\mathbb{P}(\mathbb{R}^4) does not attain its H\"older exponent.
