In this paper we prove a quaternionic positive real lemma as well as its generalized version, in case the associated kernel has negative squares for slice hyperholomorphic functions. We consider the case of functions with positive real part…

We study the topological components of the surface group representations into $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ and $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})$. Utilizing the signature formula established in [14], we determine the number of connected components…

We give counterexamples to a question of Bowditch that if a non-elementary type-preserving representation $\rho:\pi_1(\Sigma_{g,n})\rightarrow PSL(2;\mathbb R)$ of a punctured surface group sends every non-peripheral simple closed curve to…

We show that ruled real hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature in the complex projective and hyperbolic spaces must be minimal. This provides their classification, by virtue of a result of Lohnherr and Reckziegel.

We introduce a generalization of the notion of Anosov representations by restricting to invariant closed geodesic subflows. Examples of such representations include many non-discrete representations with good geometric properties, such as…

We extend to compact K\"ahler manifolds some classical results on linear representation of fundamental groups of complex projective manifolds. Our approach based on an interversion lemma for fibrations with tori versus general type…

We survey results on the problem of covering the space ${\mathbb R}^n$, or a convex body in it, by translates of a convex body. Our main goal is to present a diverse set of methods. A theorem of Rogers is a central result, according to…

Let $\rho$ be a representation of the fundamental group of a punctured surface into $\mathrm{PSL}_2 (\mathbb{C})$ that is not Fuchsian. We prove that there exists a Fuchsian representation that strictly dominates $\rho$ in the simple length…

Let $\rho : \Gamma \longrightarrow G$ be a Zariski dense irreducible convex representation of the hyperbolic group $\Gamma$, where G is a connected real semisimple algebraic Lie group. We establish a central limit type theorem for the…

Given a convex representation $\rho:\Gamma\to\textrm{PGL}(d,\mathbb{R})$ of a convex co-compact group $\Gamma$ of $\mathbb{H}^k$ we find upper bounds for the quantity $\alpha h_\rho,$ where $h_\rho$ is the entropy of $\rho$ and $\alpha$ is…

The aim of this note is to point out a convexity property with respect to the root lattice for the support of the highest weights that occur in a tensor product of irreducible rational representations of $SL(n)$ over the complex numbers.…

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…

The space of representations of a surface group into a given simple Lie group is a very active area of research and is particularly relevant to higher Teichm\"uller theory. For a closed surface, classical Teichm\"uller space is a connected…

This article considers $G$-Anosov representations of a fixed closed oriented Riemann surface $\Sigma$ of genus at least $2$. Here, $G$ is the Lie group $\text{PSp}(2n,\mathbb{R}$), $\text{PSO}(n,n)$ or $\text{PSO}(n,n+1)$. It proves that…

We extend classical results of Bridgeman-Taylor and McMullen on the Hessian of the Hausdorff dimension on quasi-Fuchsian space to the class of (1,1,2)-hyperconvex representations, a class introduced in arXiv:1902.01303 which includes small…

We prove that any nonabelian, non-Fuchsian representation of a surface group into PSL(2,R) is the holonomy of a folded hyperbolic structure on the surface. Using similar ideas, we establish that any non-Fuchsian representation rho of a…

In the Cayley graph of the mapping class group of a closed surface, with respect to any generating set, we look at a ball of large radius centered on the identity vertex, and at the proportion among the vertices in this ball representing…

In the Labourie-Loftin parametrization of the Hitchin component of surface group representations into SL(3,R), we prove an asymptotic formula for holonomy along rays in terms of local invariants of the holomorphic differential defining that…

We show that the critical exponent of a representation in the Hitchin component of $PSL(d,\mathbb{R})$ is bounded above, the least upper bound being attained only in the Fuchsian locus. This provides a rigid inequality for the area of a…
