In this paper, we study the geometric and dynamical properties of maximal representations of surface groups into Hermitian Lie groups of rank 2. Combining tools from Higgs bundle theory, the theory of Anosov representations, and…

We analyze the hamiltonian quantization of Chern-Simons theory associated to the universal covering of the Lorentz group SO(3,1). The algebra of observables is generated by finite dimensional spin networks drawn on a punctured topological…

Divergence functions of a metric space estimate the length of a path connecting two points $A$, $B$ at distance $\le n$ avoiding a large enough ball around a third point $C$. We characterize groups with non-linear divergence functions as…

We define a representation of the Artin groups of type ADE by monodromy of generalized KZ-systems which is shown to be isomorphic to the generalized Krammer representation originally defined by A.M. Cohen and D. Wales, and independantly by…

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…

Let G be an arithmetic Kleinian group, and let O be the associated hyperbolic 3-orbifold or 3-manifold. In this paper, we prove that, in many cases, G is large, which means that some finite index subgroup admits a surjective homomorphism…

We show that real semi-simple Lie groups of higher rank contain (infinitely generated) discrete subgroups with full limit sets in the corresponding Furstenberg boundaries. Additionally, we provide criteria under which discrete subgroups of…

By Koebe's retrosection theorem, every closed Riemann surface of genus $g \geq 2$ is uniformized by a Schottky group. Marden observed that there are Schottky groups that are not classical ones, that is, they cannot be defined by a suitable…

We classify, up to isometric congruence, the homogeneous hypersurfaces in the Riemannian symmetric spaces $\mathrm{SL}(3,\mathbb{H})/\mathrm{Sp}(3), \hspace{1pt} \mathrm{SO}(5,\mathbb{C})/\mathrm{SO}(5),$ and…

A series of Zariski pairs and four Zariski triplets were found by using lattice theory of K3 surfaces. There is a Zariski triplet of which one member is a deformation of another.

Let $F$ be a non-archimedean local field. In this paper we explore genericity of irreducible smooth representations of $GL_n(F)$ by restriction to a maximal compact subgroup $K$ of $GL_n(F)$. Let $(J, \lambda)$ be a Bushnell--Kutzko type…

We obtain an infinite family of orthogonal hypergeometric groups, which are higher rank arithmetic groups. We also list cases of arithmetic hypergeometric groups whose real Zariski closure is O(2,3).

We define a Toledo number for actions of surface groups and complex hyperbolic lattices on infinite dimensional Hermitian symmetric spaces, which allows us to define maximal representations. When the target is not of tube type we show that…

We study the character variety of representations of the fundamental group of a closed surface of genus $g\geq2$ into the Lie group SO(n,n+1) using Higgs bundles. For each integer $0<d\leq n(2g-2),$ we show there is a smooth connected…

We show that uniform lattices in some semi-simple groups (notably complex ones) admit Anosov surface subgroups. This result has a quantitative version: we introduce a notion, called $K$-Sullivan maps, which generalizes the notion of…

Let $\rho\colon G\to \mathrm{GL}_n(K)$ be an continuous irreducible representation of a compact group over a complete discretely valued field $K$. Let $W_i,W_j$ be two irreducible subrepresentations of $\overline{\rho}^{ss}$, the…

We classify non-polar irreducible representations of connected compact Lie groups whose orbit space is isometric to that of a representation of a finite extension of $Sp(1)^k$ for some $k>0$. It follows that they are obtained from isotropy…

Real points of Schottky space ${\mathcal S}_{g}$ are in correspondence with extended Kleinian groups $K$ containing, as a normal subgroup, a Schottky group $\Gamma$ of rank $g$ such that $K/\Gamma \cong {\mathbb Z}_{2n}$ for a suitable…

For a positive integer n, we denote by SUB (resp., SUBn) the class of all lattices that can be embedded into the lattice Co(P) of all order-convex subsets of a partially ordered set P (resp., P of length at most n). We prove the following…

We investigate the representation of lattices as sublattices of the lattice of all convex subsets (intervals) of a linearly ordered set $(X,\le)$. We introduce the purely lattice-theoretic notion of a \textit{loc-lattice} and prove that…
