This is a survey paper on our recent works concerning the classification of positively curved homogeneous Finsler spaces, and some related topics. At the final part, we present some open problems in this field.
A spacetime interpretation of deformed relativity symmetry groups was recently proposed by resorting to Finslerian geometries, seen as the outcome of a continuous limit endowed with first order corrections from the quantum gravity regime.…
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…
In recent years, Planck-scale modifications to particles' dispersion relation have been deeply studied for the possibility to formulate some phenomenology of Planckian effects in astrophysical and cosmological frameworks. There are some…
We show that for every representation $ \rho : \pi_{1} (S_{g}) \to \text{Isom}(X) $ of the fundamental group of a genus $ g \ge 2 $ surface to the isometry group of a complete $ \text{CAT}(-1) $ metric space $ X $ there exists a Fuchsian…
We introduce \emph{k-positive representations}, a large class of $\{1,\ldots,k\}$--Anosov surface group representations into PGL(E) that share many features with Hitchin representations, and we study their degenerations: unless they are…
We show that a collar lemma holds for Anosov representations of fundamental groups of surfaces into $\SL(n,\R)$ that satisfy partial hyperconvexity properties inspired from Labourie's work. This is the case for several open sets of Anosov…
Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated group, and let $\op{Rep}(\Gamma, \SO(2,n))$ be the moduli space of representations of $\Gamma$ into $\SO(2,n)$ ($n \geq 2$). An element $\rho: \Gamma \to \SO(2,n)$ of $\op{Rep}(\Gamma, \SO(2,n))$ is…
Using Lusztig's total positivity in split real Lie groups V. Fock and A. Goncharov have introduced spaces of positive (framed) representations. For general semisimple Lie groups a generalization of Lusztig's total positivity was recently…
The main goal of this article is to generalize Mess' work and using results from Labourie--Wentworth, Potrie--Sambarino and Smilga, to show that inside Hitchin representations, infinitesimal deformations of Fuchsian representations of a…
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 consider relative normalizations of ruled surfaces with non-vanishing Gaussian curvature $K$ in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R} ^{3}$, which are characterized by the support functions $^{\left( \alpha \right) }q=\left \vert K\right \vert…
We construct and discuss the Fock-space representation for a deformed oscillator with "peculiar" statistics. We show that corresponding algebra represents deformed supersymmetric oscillator.
Let S be a closed orientable surface of genus at least 2 and let G be a semisimple real algebraic group of non-compact type. We consider a class of representations from the fundamental group of S to G called positively ratioed…
Let S be a compact surface of genus >1, and g be a metric on S of constant curvature K\in\{-1,0,1\} with conical singularities of negative singular curvature. When K=1 we add the condition that the lengths of the contractible geodesics are…
We establish an entropy rigidity theorem for Hitchin representations of all geometrically finite Fuchsian groups which generalizes a theorem of Potrie and Sambarino for Hitchin representations of closed surface groups. In the process, we…
Relatively dominated representations give a common generalization of geometrically finiteness in rank one on the one hand, and the Anosov condition which serves as a higher-rank analogue of convex cocompactness on the other. This note…
In this paper we show some properties of triangle invariants and shearing invariants of PSL(n,R)-Fuchsian representations. Moreover, using the Bonahon-Dreyer parameterization, we show that the Fuchsian locus of Hitchin components…
This article is a contribution to the domain of (convergent) deformation quantization of symmetric spaces by use of Lie groups representation theory. We realize the regular representation of $SL(2,\R)$ on the space of smooth functions on…
The Finsler spaces in which the tangent Riemannian spaces are conformally flat prove to be characterized by the condition that the indicatrix is a space of constant curvature. In such spaces the Finslerian normalized two-vector angle can be…
