On entropy, regularity and rigidity for convex representations of hyperbolic manifolds

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

Given a convex representation ρ:Γ→PGL(d,R)ρ:Γ\to\textrm{PGL}(d,\mathbb{R}) of a convex co-compact group ΓΓ of Hk\mathbb{H}^k we find upper bounds for the quantity αhρ,αh_ρ, where hρh_ρ is the entropy of ρρ and αα is the Hölder exponent of the equivariant map ∂Γ→P(Rd).\partialΓ\to\mathbb{P}(\mathbb{R}^d). We also give rigidity statements when the upper bound is attained. We then study Hitchin representations and prove that if ρ:π1Σ→PSL(d,R)ρ:π_1Σ\to\textrm{PSL}(d,\mathbb{R}) is in the Hitchin component then αhρ≤2/(d−1)αh_ρ\leq 2/(d-1) (where αα is the Hölder exponent of the map ζ:∂H2→Fζ:\partial\mathbb{H}^2\to\mathscr{F}) with equality if and only if ρρ is Fuchsian.
