In this paper we prove a general structure theorem for relatively hyperbolic groups (with arbitrary peripheral subgroups) acting naive convex co-compactly on properly convex domains in real projective space. We also establish a…

We exhibit two examples of convex cocompact subgroups of the isometry groups of real hyperbolic spaces with limit set a Pontryagin sphere: one generated by $50$ reflections of $\mathbb{H}^4$, and the other by a rotation of order $21$ and a…

We provide a general construction of convex cocompact hyperbolic reflection groups with three-dimensional limit sets. More precisely, our construction takes as input an arbitrary simplicial complex L of dimension 3 on n vertices, and…

In this paper we consider discrete groups in ${\rm PGL}_d(\mathbb{R})$ acting convex co-compactly on a properly convex domain in real projective space. For such groups, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the group to be…

We prove that divergent, extended geometrically finite (in the sense of Weisman arXiv:2205.07183) representations can be interpreted as restricted Anosov (in the sense of Tholozan--Wang arXiv:2307.02934) representations over certain flow…

The aim of this article is to understand the geometry of limit sets in pseudo-Riemannian hyperbolic geometry. We focus on a class of subgroups of $\mathrm{PO}(p,q+1)$ introduced by Danciger, Gu\'eritaud and Kassel, called…

Let Gamma be a cocompact lattice in SO(1,n). A representation rho: Gamma \to SO(2,n) is quasi-Fuchsian if it is faithfull, discrete, and preserves an acausal subset in the boundary of anti-de Sitter space - a particular case is the case of…

Using the thermodynamics formalism, we introduce a notion of intersection for projective Anosov representations, show analyticity results for the intersection and the entropy, and rigidity results for the intersection. We use the…

This is the second of a pair of papers on extended geometrically finite (EGF) representations, which were originally posted as a single article under the title "An extended definition of Anosov representation for relatively hyperbolic…

We prove uniform boundedness of certain boundary representations on appropriate fractional Sobolev spaces $W^{s,p}$ with $p>1$ for arbitrary Gromov hyperbolic groups. These are closed subspaces of $L^p$ and in particular Hilbert spaces in…

We provide a full classification of complete maximal $p$-dimensional spacelike submanifolds in the pseudo-hyperbolic space $\mathbf{H}^{p,q}$, and we study its applications to Teichm\"uller theory and to the theory of Anosov representations…

We define the notion of affine Anosov representations of word hyperbolic groups into the affine group $\mathsf{SO}^0(n+1,n)\ltimes\mathbb{R}^{2n+1}$. We then show that a representation $\rho$ of a word hyperbolic group is affine Anosov if…

We construct open domains of discontinuity for Anosov representations acting on some homogeneous spaces, including (pseudo-Riemannian) symmetric spaces. This generalizes work of Kapovich-Leeb-Porti on flag spaces. Our results complement…

For uniform lattices $\Gamma$ in rank 1 Lie groups, we construct Anosov representations of virtual doubles of $\Gamma$ along certain quasiconvex subgroups. We also show that virtual HNN extensions of these lattices over some cyclic…

The convex-cocompact subgroups are central in hyperbolic geometry and more generally in negative curvature. Labourie introduced in 2005 the notion of 'Anosov' subgroup which proves progressively to be the right generalizations of…
