Let $\Gamma$ be the fundamental group of a $k$-punctured, $k \geq 0$, closed connected orientable surface of genus $g \geq 2$. We show that the character variety of the $(Q^+, Q^-)$-Anosov irreducible representations, resp. the character…

We construct a new family of irreducible unitary representations of a finitely generated virtually free group L. We prove furthermore a general result concerning representations of Gromov hyperbolic groups that are weakly contained in the…

Let $\Gamma$ be a hyperbolic group and G be the isometry group of a Gromov-hyperbolic, properand geodesic metric space. We study the action of the outer automorphism group Out($\Gamma$) onthe set X($\Gamma$,G) of conjugacy classes of…

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…

Let X be a hyperbolic surface and H the fundamental group of a hyperbolic 3-manifold that fibers over the circle with fiber X. Using the Birman exact sequence, H embeds in the mapping class group Mod(Y) of the surface Y obtained by removing…

Given any generating set of any pseudo-Anosov-containing subgroup of the mapping class group of a surface, we construct a pseudo-Anosov with word length bounded by a constant depending only on the surface. More generally, in any subgroup G…

I present a general theory of overconvergent p-adic automorphic forms and eigenvarieties for connected reductive algebraic groups G whose real points are compact modulo centre, extending earlier constructions due to Buzzard, Chenevier and…

In arXiv:1403.7671, Kapovich, Leeb and Porti gave several new characterizations of Anosov representations $\Gamma \to G$, including one where geodesics in the word hyperbolic group $\Gamma$ map to "Morse quasigeodesics" in the associated…

In this note we revisit Moussong's Characterization of Gromov-hyperbolic Coxeter groups. A Coxeter group is Gromov-hyperbolic if and only if it does not contain a subgroup isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}^2$ which can be read off directly from the…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over a totally real field $F$ which is compact modulo center at archimedean places. We find congruences modulo an arbitrary power of p between the space of arbitrary automorphic forms on $G(\mathbb…

We consider the action of Anosov subgroups of a semi-simple Lie group on the associated flag manifolds. A systematic approach to construct cocompact domains of discontinuity for this action was given by Kapovich, Leeb and Porti in…

We discuss the linearity and discreteness of amalgamated products of linear word-hyperbolic groups. In particular, we prove that the double of an Anosov group along a maximal cyclic subgroup is always linear, and we construct examples of…

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…

For a convex cocompact subgroup $G<Mod(S)$, and points $x,y \in Teich(S)$ we obtain asymptotic formulas as $R\to \infty$ of $|B_{R}(x)\cap Gy|$ as well as the number of conjugacy classes of pseudo-Anosov elements in $G$ of dilatation at…

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…

Hilbert--Lie groups are Lie groups whose Lie algebra is a real Hilbert space whose scalar product is invariant under the adjoint action. These infinite-dimensional Lie groups are the closest relatives to compact Lie groups. Here we study…

We describe smooth compactifications of certain families of reductive homogeneous spaces such as group manifolds for classical Lie groups, or pseudo-Riemannian analogues of real hyperbolic spaces and their complex and quaternionic…

We show that pseudo-Anosov mapping classes are generic in every Cayley graph of the mapping class group of a finite-type hyperbolic surface. Our method also yields an analogous result for rank-one CAT(0) groups and hierarchically hyperbolic…

The first author and Oguni introduced a class of groups of non-positive curvature, called coarsely convex group. The recent success of the theory of groups which are hyperbolic relative to a collection of subgroups has motivated the study…

The goal of this paper is to remove the irreducibility hypothesis in a theorem of Richard Taylor describing the image of complex conjugations by $p$-adic Galois representations associated with regular, algebraic, essentially self-dual,…
