Anosov representations were introduced by F. Labourie [18] for fundamental groups of closed negatively curved surfaces, and generalized by O. Guichard and A. Wienhard [19] to representations of arbitrary Gromov hyperbolic groups into real…

Given a $\vartheta$-Anosov representation into a real reductive group $G$, we construct a natural resonance spectrum associated with the representation. This spectrum is a complex analytic variety of codimension $1$ in…

We propose several common extensions of the classes of Anosov subgroups and geometrically finite Kleinian groups among discrete subgroups of semisimple Lie groups. We relativize various dynamical and coarse geometric characterizations of…

Let $X=SL_3(\R)/SO(3)$. Let $\cal DFR$ be the space of discrete faithful representations of the modular group into ${\rm Isom\/}(X)$ which map the order $2$ generator to an isometry with a unique fixed point. I prove many things about the…

After more than thirty years, the only known examples of Anosov diffeomorphisms are hyperbolic automorphisms of infranilmanifolds. It is also important to note that the existence of an Anosov automorphism is a really strong condition on an…

We investigate representations of Coxeter groups into $\mathrm{GL}(n,\mathbb{R})$ as geometric reflection groups which are convex cocompact in the projective space $\mathbb{P}(\mathbb{R}^n)$. We characterize which Coxeter groups admit such…

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 give a complete characterization of the holonomies of strictly convex cusps and of round cusps in convex projective geometry. We build families of generalized cusps of non-maximal rank associated to each strictly convex or round cusp. We…

In this paper we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the limit set of a projective Anosov representation to be a differentiable submanifold of projective space with Holder continuous derivatives. We also calculate the optimal…

We study the relation between critical exponents and Hausdorff dimensions of limit sets for projective Anosov representations. We prove that the Hausdorff dimension of the symmetric limit set in $\mathbf{P}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) \times…

We study the antipodal subsets of the full flag manifolds $\mathcal{F}(\mathbb{R}^d)$. As a consequence, for natural numbers $d \ge 2$ such that $d\ne 5$ and $d \not\equiv 0,\pm1 \mod 8$, we show that Borel Anosov subgroups of ${\rm…

Let $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$. For all but finitely many $m\in \mathbb{N}$, we exhibit the first examples of non-locally rigid, Zariski dense, robust quasi-isometric embeddings of hyperbolic groups in…

We study infinite covolume discrete subgroups of higher rank semisimple Lie groups, motivated by understanding basic properties of Anosov subgroups from various viewpoints (geometric, coarse geometric and dynamical). The class of Anosov…

In this paper we show that many projective Anosov representations act convex cocompactly on some properly convex domain in real projective space. In particular, if a non-elementary word hyperbolic group is not commensurable to a non-trivial…

We provide a link between Anosov representations introduced by Labourie and dominated splitting of linear cocycles. This allows us to obtain equivalent characterizations for Anosov representations and to recover recent results due to…

We prove that a word hyperbolic group whose Gromov boundary properly contains a $2$-sphere cannot admit a projective Anosov representation into $\mathsf{Sp}_{2m}(\mathbb{C})$, $m\in \mathbb{N}$. We also prove that a word hyperbolic group…

For $N \geq 2$, we study a certain sequence $(\rho_p^{(c_p)})$ of N-dimensional representations of the mapping class group of the one-holed torus arising from SO(3)-TQFT, and show that the conjecture of Andersen, Masbaum, and Ueno \cite{1}…

We consider lifting of mod p representations to mod p^2 representations in the setting of representations of (i) finite groups; (ii) absolute Galois groups of abstract fields; and (iii) absolute Galois groups of local and global fields.

We study the set of normalized multi-lengths for representations of closed surface groups and free groups into $(\mathrm{PSL}_2\mathbf{R})^d$ whose projections to $\mathrm{PSL}_2\mathbf{R}$ are all convex cocompact. These multi-lengths…

In this article, we establish the variational principle of the affinity exponent of Borel Anosov representations. We also establish such a principle of the Rauzy gasket. In Li-Pan-Xu, they obtain a dimension formula of the stationary…
