Basmajian-type inequalities for maximal representations

Geometric Topology 2017-12-15 v2 Group Theory

Abstract

For suitable metrics on the locally symmetric space associated to a maximal representation, we prove inequalities between the length of the boundary and the lengths of orthogeodesics that generalize the classical Basmajian's identity from Teichmueller theory. Any equality characterizes diagonal embeddings.
